Describing the initiative as a landmark step, the Governor urged census officials in Mizoram to ensure the smooth and effective implementation of the nationwide exercise across the state. He also appealed to the public to take the census seriously by registering themselves and extending full cooperation to enumerators.
The Governor emphasised that officials must reach even the remotest areas of Mizoram and ensure that the enumeration process remains simple, transparent, and hassle-free for citizens.
Highlighting the Mizo tradition of community cooperation, he stressed the importance of close coordination between census officials and Village Councils and Local Councils to facilitate smooth fieldwork throughout the state.
During the programme, officials from the Directorate of Census Operations briefed the Governor on the preparedness and strategies for the census in Mizoram.
The Census of India 2027, the country’s first fully digital census, will be conducted in two phases. The Houselisting and Housing Census began on April 1, 2026, while the Population Enumeration phase is scheduled for February 2027.
Officials said the self-enumeration window will remain open from April 1 to April 15, 2026, followed by the House Listing and Housing Census across Mizoram from April 16 to May 15, 2026.
