Census 2027 second phase to begin December 1 in four states

Door-to-door population enumeration, the second phase of Census 2027, will begin on December 1 in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Punjab, ahead of the rest of India in January 2027. Enumerators are being trained to ask 40 questions and spend at least 20 to 25 minutes with each respondent, unlike the quicker houselisting phase.
