Next-Level Census: Andhra Pradesh Leads the Way with Digital Transformation

Andhra Pradesh is gearing up for Census 2027, with the initiative set to kick off its first phase of house listing on May 1. State Census Operations Director J Nivas briefed Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on the upcoming developments during a recent meeting.

The two-phase operation will start with house listing and a comprehensive house census, examining the status of housing facilities and assets until May 30. Notably, a self-census feature will be available to citizens between April 16 and 30, empowering locals with a chance to contribute their details independently.

Starting February 2027, the next phase will focus on documenting socio-economic conditions, cultural contexts, migration patterns, and children's details. This marks the first fully digital census, with mobile applications and web portals streamlining data entry. Public participation is encouraged via a newly launched user-friendly portal operating in 16 languages.
