South Dinajpur district has begun preparations for the upcoming national census, introducing an online self-reporting system for the first time in an effort to improve the accuracy and transparency of data collection.
At a special training session held on Saturday afternoon at Baluchhaya Bhavan in Balurghat, District Magistrate Bala Subrahmanyan T. announced that residents will be able to submit their census information through a designated online portal from August 1 to August 15. The submitted information will then be verified through door-to-door visits by census enumerators between August 16 and September 14.
To ensure the smooth execution of the exercise, the district administration will appoint special charge officers across its eight blocks and three municipalities. The census operation will also involve 595 supervisors and 3,588 enumerators, who will oversee data collection and verification.
The administration aims to publish the preliminary census list by February next year and complete the entire process by March. Officials believe that the introduction of online self-reporting will encourage greater public participation while significantly reducing errors in data collection.
