The ‘self-enumeration’ part of Houselisting and Housing Census, which forms the first phase of Census 2027, will be held in Kerala from June 16 to June 30. Self-enumeration is the process whereby respondents fill out and submit the Census schedule themselves, rather than having it done by a Census enumerator. The portal for self-enumeration can be accessed on https://se.census.gov.in. The Houselisting and Housing phase will gather information on housing conditions, availability of amenities and assets in households. The Census questionnaire for this phase (including self-enumeration) contains 34 questions, the Thiruvananthapuram district administration said in a district-level statement on the Census on Monday. The self-enumeration portal will remain open for 15 days prior to the start of house-to-house Houselisting Operations by the enumerator. Following the 15-day self-enumeration phase, enumerators will visit households, including those that have opted for self-enumeration, from July 1 to July 30 to collect data. In the latter case where self-enumeration has been completed, respondents should share the unique 11-digit ‘SE ID’ that gets generated during the self-enumeration, with the enumerator. After adding some more data and verifying the filled-in responses, the enumerator will upload the final data. Respondents can start entering the replies once they have filled in some preliminary information such as State/UT, head of household. mobile number, email (Optional), and preferred language and marking their residence on an interactive map. A user guide and FAQs are available on https://se.census.gov.in. Population Enumeration, which forms Phase II of Census 2027, will be held in February 2027.
