The Census 2027 will enter its second phase in the northeastern state of Tripura on January 25, following the initial phase that covered other states.
The Census 2027, conducted by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, will commence its second phase in Tripura on January 25. The state will be the first in the country to resume enumeration after the initial phase, which covered the remaining 29 states and union territories.
During the second phase, census officials will deploy enumerators across all districts of Tripura to record demographic, socio‑economic and housing data. The data collected will feed into national planning, resource allocation and policy formulation.
The government has emphasized that accurate census figures are essential for the allocation of central funds and for the design of welfare schemes. Tripura’s participation marks a significant step toward completing the nationwide census by the end of 2027.
Census officials have already begun training sessions for enumerators, and a public awareness campaign is underway to encourage residents to cooperate with the survey.
