UDHAMPUR: The process of self-enumeration under the first phase of Census-2027 commenced across Udhampur district today, marking the beginning of a major nationwide data collection exercise. Deputy Commissioner Udhampur, Minga Sherpa, informed that citizens can complete online self-enumeration through the official Self-Enumeration (SE) Portal from May 17 to May 31, 2026.
He stated that self-enumeration is a citizen-friendly digital facility introduced for the first time by the Census Department, enabling residents to independently submit their household information online. Citizens can access the portal at https://se.census.gov.in and log in using their mobile number and basic details.
After entering the required information and successfully submitting the form, the portal generates a unique Self-Enumeration ID (SEID). During the subsequent field verification, residents only need to share this ID with the Census Enumerator, eliminating the need to fill the form again.
The Deputy Commissioner appealed to all residents of the district to actively participate in the self-enumeration process and complete their entries within the stipulated timeline. He further informed that after the closure of the online portal on May 31, field surveys will be conducted from June 1 to June 30, during which enumerators will visit households for data verification and collection.
Emphasising the importance of the exercise, DC assured citizens that all information collected during the Census process will remain strictly confidential and will be used solely for official planning and developmental purposes. He noted that Census data plays a vital role in formulation of welfare schemes, infrastructure planning and policy implementation.
He urged citizens to cooperate fully with the administration and provide accurate and authentic information during the exercise of national importance. On the opening day of the self-enumeration drive, MLA Ramnagar Sunil Bhardwaj also completed his self-enumeration and encouraged people to participate actively in the process. Acting as an ambassador for the initiative, he called upon citizens to fulfill their civic responsibility by contributing to the Census exercise.
Meanwhile, residents from different parts of the district also participated enthusiastically in the self-enumeration process, reflecting growing public awareness and positive response towards the digital initiative.
