A review meeting regarding the groundwork was held on February 3 in coordination with the directions of the office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, and the Census Directorate, Maharashtra. The meeting was attended by the city census officer and 15 other census officers from Pune, who were briefed on timelines and responsibilities.
Officials were instructed to ensure that all arrangements are completed within the stipulated schedule. Notably, this will be the first time the Census in India is carried out in a fully digital format.
