The Directorate of Census Operations, Goa, organised a press conference at Secretariat, Porvorim, Goa on today 13 Nov to create awareness about the second phase of Census 2027 – Population Enumeration (PE) and encourage people to actively participate in the Census process.
Addressing the media, Ms. Cheshta Yadav, Director of Census Operations, Goa, explained the schedule and various arrangements for conducting the Census in the State. The press conference was organised in collaboration with the Department of Planning, Statistics and Evaluation (DPSE), the State Nodal Department, Press Information Bureau and DIP, Goa. During the press conference Deputy Director of Census operations Sweta Nandwana was present.
Ms. Yadav informed that Self-Enumeration (SE) will be conducted from November 16 to November 30, 2026, while the Population Enumeration (PE) will take place from December 1, 2026, to January 4, 2027. A revisional round will follow from January 5 to January 9, 2027.
The reference date for Census 2027 in Goa will be 00:00 hours of January 5, 2027. The Census data for Goa, whenever released, will be based on this reference date.
Explaining the Self-Enumeration facility, Ms. Yadav said that people can submit their household information online through the official website http://se.census.gov.in during the 15-day period from November 16 to 30. The facility will allow residents to provide their family details conveniently from anywhere, before the commencement of the house-to-house enumeration.
During Population Enumeration, Census Enumerators will visit households and collect information through a mobile application. The process will cover 40 questions relating to demographic, socio-economic, educational, language, migration, fertility and other details.
People who complete Self-Enumeration will receive a Self-Enumeration ID (SE ID), which they can share with the Census Enumerator during the household visit. If the entire family is away on vacation during the enumeration period, the SE ID may be written on a piece of paper and displayed on the front door of the house. Those who have not completed Self-Enumeration will have to provide the required information directly to the Enumerator.
The Director Yadav also explained the roles of Enumerators and Supervisors and stressed the need for people to provide correct and complete information. She highlighted that all information collected during the Census will remain confidential under the Census Act, 1948. She also reminded the public that providing information for the Census is mandatory under the Act.
Appealing to the people of Goa to cooperate with Census officials, aslos Ms. Yadav urged the media persons to spread awareness about the Census schedule and Self-Enumeration facility through newspapers, television, digital platforms and other communication channels.
