Write a tribute at SRINAGAR: In a major push towards promotion of Self-Enumeration under Census 2027, Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary today successfully completed his Self-Enumeration exercise at Civil Secretariat in Srinagar. The exercise was done under the guidance of Amit Sharma, Chief Principal Census Officer and Director Census Operations & Citizen Registration, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
Ministers including Sakeena Itoo, Javid Ahmad Dar and Satish Sharma also undertook the Self- Enumeration for Census- 2027.

During the exercise, Amit Sharma guided the dignitaries regarding various features of the Self-Enumeration process and assisted them in successfully completing their digital Census submissions through the online platform.

He described the initiative as an important step towards transparent, modern and participatory governance.
The Deputy Chief Minister called upon all citizens and residents of Jammu & Kashmir to actively join in the Self-Enumeration process at se.census.gov.in and complete their Census submission by 31st May 2026. He stated that Census is an exercise of national importance and accurate demographic data plays a crucial role in planning, governance and implementation of welfare and developmental programmes.
He further appealed to youth, students, government employees, urban households and digitally aware citizens to come forward and actively participate in the Self-Enumeration initiative and also motivate their families and communities to undertake the exercise. The Ministers and legislators also appreciated the efforts of the Directorate of Census Operations, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, for introducing citizen-friendly digital initiatives and carrying out extensive awareness campaigns regarding Census 2027 and Self-Enumeration across Jammu and Kashmir.
While interacting with the participants, Amit Sharma highlighted that Census 2027 is going to be India’s first fully digital and paperless Census exercise and will incorporate several technology-driven features including Self-Enumeration, mobile-based digital data collection, geo-referenced mapping and real-time monitoring systems.
