Census 2027 field operations in Uttarakhand will run from December 1 to January 4, with online self-enumeration available from November 16 to 30, officials confirmed.
Current Summary
Director of Census Operations Eva Ashish Srivastava has confirmed that Census of India 2027 operations in Uttarakhand will proceed on the pre-scheduled timeline, dismissing reports of delay or postponement. Ground-level census operations across the state will run from December 1, 2026 to January 4, 2027. Ahead of the field survey, residents will have a two-week self-enumeration facility available online from November 16 to November 30, 2026. Srivastava said media reports about a fresh notification for other non-election states should not be linked to Uttarakhand's schedule, and reiterated there has been no change or deferment. The census is being conducted in two phases: the first, covering House Listing and Housing Census, began in April 2026 and gathered information on housing conditions, household amenities and assets; the second phase, Population Enumeration, will collect individual-level demographic, social and economic details through a 40-question household schedule covering age, marital status, religion, caste and education, among other details.
