The digital mapping exercise for Census 2027 has commenced in the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and Delhi Cantonment areas with over 700 officials deployed for the process.
Authorities said the initiative marks the beginning of the country's first technology-driven enumeration process and will continue till May 15 in these zones.
Enumerators are verifying their assigned areas by matching locations with digital maps provided to them, and door-to-door data collection is scheduled to begin on April 19.
Each enumerator has been assigned one house-listing block, covering approximately 180 to 200 households, and will receive ₹9,000 for the house-listing phase and ₹16,000 for the population enumeration phase.
Residents who have completed self-enumeration should keep their generated self-enumeration ID (SE ID) ready and share it with the enumerator during the field visit to speed up the house-listing process.
Preparations have been made to address challenges arising from the summer heat, including providing enumerators with ORS packets and toffees in their kits.
