More than 6,000 officials to be engaged as House-Listing Operations begin on June 16
As part of the preparations for the Census of India 2027, the State of Nagaland has successfully completed the training of Field Trainers for all 17 districts. A total of 130 Field Trainers from across the state underwent a three-day residential training programme conducted in four batches.
The trained Field Trainers will subsequently impart training to Census Supervisors and Enumerators during June 2026 across Nagaland, covering 157 sub-districts, municipalities and towns.
The training programmes, held from 20 to 29 May 2026, witnessed 100 per cent participation and were successfully organised under the leadership of the Deputy Commissioners of Dimapur, Mokokchung, Kohima and Phek.
More than 6,000 government officials will be engaged in conducting Census 2027 in Nagaland. The Census will be carried out in two phases.
The first phase, House-Listing Operations, will provide citizens with an opportunity to enumerate their households through the online self-enumeration facility from 16 to 30 June 2026. This will be followed by verification of the self-enumerated data and enumeration of households that are unable to complete self-enumeration by Census Enumerators and Supervisors.
The second phase, scheduled for February 2027, will involve Population Enumeration, during which population data will be collected across the state.
The Directorate of Census Operations, Nagaland, has appealed to all citizens to actively participate and extend their full cooperation in ensuring the successful conduct of Census 2027.
