Guwahati, the gateway to Northeast India, is currently hosting the inaugural phase of training for the upcoming Census 2027. This Phase-I program is specifically designed for the Houselisting and Housing Census, marking a crucial initial step in the comprehensive national data collection exercise.
The training aims to equip key officials and master trainers with the essential methodology and operational understanding required for this extensive undertaking. Participants are being instructed on various aspects, including data collection techniques, the effective use of digital tools, and the overall framework for accurately surveying and listing all residential and non-residential structures across the nation.
The Houselisting and Housing Census is a foundational exercise, preceding the main population enumeration. It involves identifying, numbering, and listing every building, house, and household, providing a critical base map and a robust framework for the subsequent, more detailed population count. This meticulous preparatory work ensures the accuracy and completeness of the final census data.
