He said, \u201cSeveral key decisions related to the socio-economic development of Punjab depend on census data. It is crucial that people come forward and register Punjabi as their mother tongue to ensure accurate representation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Launching the first phase of Census 2027, titled \u201cHouse Listing and Housing Census\u201d, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann highlighted the Bhagwant Mann Government\u2019s push toward digital inclusion. He stated, \u201cBy completing my self-enumeration through the official online portal, I want to demonstrate that this process is simple, accessible, and citizen-centric. This is an important initiative to encourage people to actively participate in the digital census process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CM Bhagwant Singh Mann urged residents across Punjab to embrace this technology-driven exercise and contribute actively. He said, \u201cMy participation is meant to set an example so that people across the state provide accurate and timely information. I appeal to all residents to make maximum use of the self-enumeration facility available from April 30 to May 14 and contribute toward building a comprehensive and reliable national database.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emphasising the importance of reliable data, he stated, \u201cA robust database is essential for effective planning and policy formulation. Accurate census data forms the backbone of governance, ensuring that welfare schemes, infrastructure development, and equitable distribution of resources reach every section of society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlighting the benefits of digital enumeration, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, \u201cSelf-enumeration is a key feature of Census 2027, allowing individuals to conveniently fill in their demographic and socio-economic details online. This initiative enhances transparency, improves efficiency, and ensures greater accuracy of data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further added, \u201cThe digital approach reduces dependence on manual processes, enables faster data collection, and strengthens the integrity of the national database.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outlining the next phase, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, \u201cThe first phase of Census 2027 will also include door-to-door surveys from May 15 to June 13, 2026. During this period, 33 questions related to housing conditions, amenities, and assets will be asked, and every household will be counted to ensure that no family is left out of this important national exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SATAUJ (SANGRUR); 30th April 2026: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday called upon people across the state to actively participate in Census 2027 by completing their self-enumeration and registering Punjabi as their mother tongue, emphasising that crucial policy decisions on Punjab\u2019s socio-economic development depend on accurate census data.
