Ahmedabad, May 16: Preparations for the 2027 Census in Gujarat have intensified, with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) appointing 12,000 enumerators and 2,000 supervisors for the upcoming housing listing and population enumeration exercise.
According to the AMC’s census department, the first phase of the census will take place from June 1 to June 30. This phase will involve listing households and conducting housing counts.
Officials have reported that training for approximately 7,500 personnel has already been completed, with the remaining training set to conclude by May 21. Training sessions are being held in schools and community halls across all 48 wards of Ahmedabad. All appointed staff have been allocated to wards under the supervision of municipal officials.
The AMC has stated that enumerators have been sourced from various central and state government departments, semi-government offices, and educational institutions. The deployment has been finalized according to official appointment orders issued by the relevant departments.
The central government will also allow citizens to participate through a self-enumeration facility. This online portal will be open for residents of Gujarat from May 17 to May 31, enabling families to submit details related to housing and amenities before the door-to-door enumeration begins.
Officials have indicated that the 2027 Census will utilize digital tools, including a mobile application for enumerators and an online self-enumeration system for citizens. During the household listing phase, information regarding housing conditions, domestic facilities, and properties will be collected.
The AMC has warned that disciplinary action may be taken against employees who are absent from training or fail to comply with census-related duties under Section 11 of the Census Act, 1948.
Officials urge citizens to fully cooperate with enumerators during this process and provide accurate and complete information during both the self-enumeration and door-to-door data collection phases.
