State Census Offices Instructed to Oversee Online Discussions

Census Commissioner Urges State Directorates to Address Misinformation During Ongoing Census Phase

Census Commissioner has called upon officials and field staff to actively address any negative feedback related to the ongoing census exercise and to counteract misleading information. This directive aims to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the census process as it progresses.

Currently, the first phase of the census is being conducted across eight states and Union Territories. This initial phase is crucial in gathering demographic data and will help inform various governmental decisions and policy implementations moving forward. The Census is a significant event that occurs every ten years in India, aimed at providing a comprehensive demographic overview of the population.

Officials are encouraged to engage proactively with communities to alleviate concerns and provide accurate information about the census process. By doing so, they hope to foster public trust and ensure higher participation rates, which are essential for the success of the census.
