Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): ‘Census 2027’ or ‘self-enumeration’ began across India on Thursday. Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav appealed to residents to actively participate and cooperate in the process.

Sharing the information on his official social media handle, CM Yadav said, “I appeal to all residents of the state to fill the self-enumeration form and, when the census team comes to your home, definitely provide them with all necessary information. This is for the bright future of our children.”
The Chief Minister requested people to carefully fill out their self-enumeration forms and fully cooperate when census officials visit their homes to collect information.
He added that the census is the backbone of the country and plays an important role in building a better future for children.
Chief Minister Yadav officially launched the process by filling out the self-enumeration form at the CM House.
According to officials, the house listing work will continue till May 30, while the self-enumeration phase will run until April 30.
From April 16 to April 30, citizens can fill out an online form and answer 33 questions related to their house and family details.
After this, census workers will visit homes from May 1 to verify the information. For those who do not fill the form online, officials will collect the details and upload them to the census software.
