Census 2027 will be India’s first fully digital enumeration, leveraging mobile‑based data collection to provide reliable and comprehensive data for informed policymaking and inclusive development, an official fact-sheet said on Saturday. It introduces several pioneering features, such as near real-time monitoring through the Census Management & Monitoring System (CMMS) portal, an optional self-enumeration facility, and extensive use of geo-referenced jurisdictions, an official fact-sheet said. The Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs has decided to include caste enumeration in the Census. Until the 2011 Census, the exercise included the systematic enumeration of only Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs).
