Srinagar, May 04: People in Jammu & Kashmir will be able to submit their household details online from May 17 to May 31 before enumerators arrive at their homes as part of the of the Census-2027.
Talking to news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Amit Sharma, Director of Census Operations and Chief Principal Census Officer, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, said that people can fill in their household details online themselves between May 17 and May 31 for Phase I of the Census.
“The people can fill in these details themselves before the arrival of enumerators,” he said, adding that enumerators will still visit the house.
As part of Census 2027, the Houselisting Operations will be carried out in Jammu & Kashmir between June 1 and June 30.
The second phase of the Census- enumeration of population- will be carried out in snow-bound areas of the Union Territory in September 2026 and in non-snow areas in February 2027. Got it — keeping your version exactly as you wrote it, no changes to anyone:
The 2027 Census is significant for Jammu and Kashmir for two reasons — political and quota-related. While it will become the basis of the next electoral delimitation, it will also reveal the population of all reserved categories for the first time in J&K’s history.
This is important given that reservation has become a major issue in Kashmir, with non-reserved people alleging disproportionate quotas for the reserved population. (KNO)
