Self-enumeration kicks off in Amritsar district

The process of self- enumeration began under the first phase of Census-2027 in Amritsar district today. Deputy Commissioner Dalwinderjeet Singh stated online self-enumeration can be completed on the SE portal from April 30 to May 14. He added that self-enumeration is a facility through which residents can themselves enter their information on the government portal. He added that citizens need to visit the official Census portal (se.census.gov.in). “They will have to log in using their mobile number and basic details. Thereafter, they must fill in the required information on the portal. Once the form is successfully submitted, the portal will generate a ‘Self-Enumeration ID’ (SEID). When the census enumerator visits the household, the citizen only needs to present this ID, which will enable verification of the information and eliminate the need to fill the form again,” he shared.

It’s for the first time, the Census Department has provided an option for self-enumeration to citizens. He appealed to all residents of the district to actively participate in self-enumeration. He added that the Census portal will remain open till May 14. Thereafter, field surveys will be conducted by enumerators from May 15 to June 13, during which they will visit households to collect data.

DC Dalwinderjeet Singh emphasised that all information collected for the Census will be kept strictly confidential by the government. He added that the Census is an extremely important exercise and will assist the government in planning new development schemes. He appealed to all residents to cooperate with the government and administration in this task of national importance and to provide accurate and clear information.
