Telangana Census 2027 self-enumeration began on April 26, with residents now able to submit household details online through the official portal. The digital exercise runs until May 10 and opens a direct route for citizens to take part in the Census process.
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy joined the launch and completed the process digitally. He said the exercise is the first official Census held since the formation of Telangana.
The move matters because Census data guides fund allocation, planning and future welfare decisions. Authorities said accurate population figures help ensure development benefits reach all citizens.
Why It Counts
Mr. Reddy said the Census will become the base for the state's future planning. Accurate data helps shape socio-economic policy and supports fair distribution of resources, he said.
Invoking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he called the exercise more than a headcount and described it as a "roadmap for the country's progress."
He added that each data point is linked to the nation's future and supports the vision of a "Viksit Bharat".
How To Apply
Bharathi Holikeri, Director of the Directorate of Census Operations in Telangana, said the Self-Enumeration facility allows citizens to participate directly through the official portal, se.census.gov.in.
The online system lets households enter details digitally for a faster and more efficient Census process.
