New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation in the 133rd episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, April 26. Modi urged citizens to actively participate in the Census 2027, calling it an important campaign for the nation.
Modi urged people to provide accurate details to officials and introduced a facility where citizens can enter their information themselves, with the option available 15 days before enumerators’ visits.
After processing the data on their own, people will receive a special ID on their mobile or email, which they can show to the enumerators to verify their details, the Prime Minister confirmed.
“National census isn’t just a government task. It’s the responsibility of all of us. Your participation is crucial. The information you provide is completely secure, kept confidential. Let’s make Census 2027 a success,” PM Modi said.
