India's digital census prompts fear of hidden agendas
"The self-enumeration exercise is a secure, web-based facility available in 16 regional languages. For the first time, respondents can fill in their details online at their convenience before the enumerator's visit."
"The census remains a vital tool for governance, providing foundation for India's development planning for the next decade."
India's digital census began on April 1, utilizing over 3 million enumerators and a self-enumeration portal. The first phase collects data on housing conditions and basic amenities, geo-tagging buildings for accurate infrastructure representation. The second phase will gather demographic and socio-economic data, including age, education, and occupation. A significant aspect is the comprehensive enumeration of castes, the first since 1931. The self-enumeration portal is available in 16 languages, but may challenge those with limited technology experience, particularly in rural areas.
