The online self-enumeration phase for Census 2027 in Uttar Pradesh concludes today, making Thursday the final deadline for residents to submit their details digitally.
According to census officials, more than 4.4 million people across the state have successfully completed the online forms since the initiative launched on May 7. The digital drive kicked off earlier this month with Governor Anandiben Patel and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath filling out the initial self-enumeration forms.
Under this digital system, heads of households were required to log in to the official portal (ce.census.gov.in) to complete the data entry. State’s Chief Census Officer Sheetal Verma said that residents who missed the online deadline need not worry. Starting tomorrow, May 22, the census will move to its next phase, featuring door-to-door visits by official enumerators. During these field visits, enumerators will personally interview the heads of households, a process expected to take 10 to 15 minutes, and fill out the physical or digital forms based on the responses provided.
According to the district-wise data, Azamgarh leads the state in digital participation, with 264,000 residents completing the self-enumeration process. Shahjahanpur follows closely with 261,000 submissions, while Bareilly rounds out the top three at 251,000. Other notable high-performing areas include Moradabad with 220,000 completions and Sonbhadra with 159,000.
Lucknow figures among the bottom five districts, recording a meagre 84,158 online submissions. The lowest engagement was seen in Kaushambi with just 12,537 forms, followed by Hamirpur (14,600), Sant Kabir Nagar (14,874), Gautam Buddha Nagar (15,543), and Jalaun (15,905).
