Inside the Census 2027: Life in Delhi's Slums Through Enumerator's Eyes

Devi Singh, a teacher by profession, spends his afternoons in the narrow lanes of New Delhi's sprawling slum areas like Sanjay Camp, fulfilling his role as one of the ten enumerators for Census 2027.

An ongoing process that begins early in the morning, Singh's day extends late into the evening. His mission is to tackle skepticism and logistical challenges to document the area's many households—housing often cramped and lacking basic amenities.

This task highlights pressing issues faced by slum dwellers, from the absence of cooking gas to expensive rent. It aims to raise awareness among authorities about the living conditions demanding attention and action.
