Jharkhand Steps Up for Census-2027: Chief Secretary Sets Example of Public Participation Through Self-Enumeration
Ranchi | May 03, 2026
The 'Self-Enumeration' campaign under Census-2027 has gained momentum in Jharkhand. In this regard, the State Chief Secretary, Avinash Kumar, personally completed the self-enumeration process, thereby sending a message of active participation to the general public.
The self-enumeration exercise in the state commenced on May 1st and will continue until May 15th, 2026. Through this campaign, citizens are being provided the opportunity to digitally record their information themselves, making the census process more transparent and accessible.
Following this, from May 16th to June 14th, 2026, the work of house listing and house enumeration will be conducted across the state. During this phase, enumerators will visit households door-to-door to collect detailed data. The administration has already initiated the necessary preparations in all districts to ensure the success of this undertaking.
Several officials associated with the census operations were present on this occasion, including Prabhat Kumar (Director, Census Directorate), Sushant Gaurav (Municipal Commissioner, Ranchi), Dr. Satyendra Kumar Gupta, Sheshnath Baitha, and Gyanchandra Mahto.
The government has appealed to the general public to participate enthusiastically in the self-enumeration process and to help make this significant national campaign a success.
