The Census 2027 house listing exercise is continuing across Bhopal, with officials urging residents to cooperate with enumerators and share their Self Enumeration IDs during field visits. Authorities also honoured supervisors and enumerators for outstanding performance in the ongoing census work.
Field work under the first phase of Census 2027 began on May 1 and will continue until May 30 in Madhya Pradesh. During the campaign, enumerators are visiting homes to digitally collect information related to houses, families and other structures.
Census 2027 house listing data to remain confidential
District Census Officer Bhuvan Gupta said many families have already completed the Self Enumeration process. However, some residents are still not sharing their Self Enumeration IDs with enumerators.
Officials appealed to residents to share the ID during field visits to help save time and ensure accurate information is entered in the Census 2027 house listing process. Families that have not completed self-enumeration were also asked to provide complete and correct information to authorised survey staff.
According to officials, all information collected during the census remains fully confidential under Section 15 of the Census Act, 1948. Authorities clarified that census data is used only for statistical purposes and cannot be shared under the Right to Information Act. Officials also warned that providing false information or refusing to answer census-related questions may attract penalties under the law.
