Deputy Commissioner Ramban Mohammad Alyas Khan today briefed media persons regarding the upcoming Census 2027 operations with special focus on the initial Phase-House Listing and Self-Enumeration scheduled to commence across the district from May 17- 2026.
Addressing the media, the Deputy Commissioner informed that the self-enumeration portal will go live at 6:00 am on May 17 and remain open till May 31, 2026, enabling residents to conveniently submit their household details online through mobile phones, laptops or other digital devices.
He said that the self-enumeration process involves answering around 33 simple questions related to household particulars. To facilitate smooth participation, the district administration would widely circulate a tutorial video, direct portal link and user-friendly flowcharts through mainstream media and official social media handles for public guidance.
Highlighting the advantages of self-enumeration, the Deputy Commissioner said that the facility would ensure greater convenience, improved data accuracy and enhanced privacy, as citizens can fill in details as per facts and figures. Upon successful submission, a Unique Identification ID will be generated, which residents must preserve for verification.
He further informed that official enumerators shall conduct door-to-door field verification from June 1 to June 30, 2026. Households that complete self-enumeration would only need to share their Unique Identification ID with the visiting enumerator, thereby simplifying the process.
The Deputy Commissioner stated that the district has been divided into 610 House Listing Blocks to ensure comprehensive and efficient coverage. “One enumerator will be deputed for each House Listing Block to facilitate systematic, accurate and hassle-free enumeration,” he added.
To ensure effective implementation, all Tehsildars and Executive Officers of Municipal Areas have been designated as Incharge Officers, while dedicated Help Desks and trained teams of enumerators and supervisors have been deployed to assist the public.
Appealing for active public participation, the Deputy Commissioner urged citizens to make full use of the self-enumeration facility and called upon media houses to widely publicize the initiative for the successful conduct of this important national exercise.
