Kohima: Nagaland Governor Nand Kishore Yadav on Tuesday participated in the self-enumeration phase of Census 2027 at Lok Bhavan, Kohima, and called upon citizens across the state to actively take part in what he described as a historic national exercise.
Participating in the launch of the self-enumeration process, the Governor noted that Nagaland has joined the rest of the country in undertaking Census 2027 under the theme, “My Census, My Development.”
He highlighted that, for the first time, citizens can enumerate their households online during the self-enumeration period from June 16 to June 30, 2026, marking a significant step towards a more citizen-centric and digitally enabled Census process.
The Governor said Census 2027 is being conducted entirely in digital mode, making the exercise more efficient, inclusive and accessible. He emphasised that the Census would play a crucial role in supporting India’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 by providing reliable data for development planning and policy formulation.
According to him, the information collected during the Census will help ensure that government schemes and public services reach all sections of society while aiding decision-making in key sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure and social welfare.
The Governor also acknowledged the efforts of more than 6,100 Census officials deployed across Nagaland and urged them to carry out their responsibilities with sincerity, professionalism and integrity.
Seeking broad public cooperation, Yadav appealed to tribal hohos, community organisations, village councils, colony authorities and elders to extend their support for the successful conduct of the Census.
