Uttar Pradesh and three other poll-bound States — Uttarakhand, Goa and Punjab — are set to begin the second phase of Census 2027 on December 1, according to the input details. The exercise will involve around 34 lakh enumerators being trained by field trainers.
The training is focused on 40 questions that are expected to require longer and more sensitive interviews, along with digital data entry. Among the topics listed are caste, religion, Aadhaar access and parents’ details.
Officials are preparing for the rollout of the census work in the four States as part of the broader Census 2027 exercise. The process is currently at the training stage ahead of the December launch.
