The second phase of Census 2027 will be conducted across Tripura from January 25 to February 28, 2027, to gather comprehensive socio-economic and demographic data, a senior official announced on Saturday.
Following the successful completion of the first phase in August—which focused on housing conditions and household amenities—the upcoming round will concentrate on individual population enumeration. Tripura Census Operations Director Ratan Biswas stated that residents will also have a dedicated self-enumeration window from January 10 to January 24 before the door-to-door survey.
Marking India’s eighth census since Independence and its first fully digital enumeration exercise, the process will utilise mobile applications and web-based platforms for real-time data collection and monitoring.
Enumerators will administer a 40-question survey capturing demographic, cultural, migration, and fertility-related details. The exercise will also ensure the inclusion of the state’s houseless population.
To ensure seamless execution, a preparatory workshop for senior administrative and district-level officials was held at Pragya Bhavan in Agartala on Friday. Discussions centred on inter-departmental coordination, financial logistics, and the deployment of master trainers and field personnel.
Addressing the workshop, Chief Secretary JK Sinha underscored the critical value of accurate census data in shaping effective public policy and driving inclusive development across the state.
