KISHTWAR: District administration Kishtwar, under the leadership of Principal Census Officer/Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Sharma today launched the training programme for conducting Population Enumeration in the snow-bound areas under the Phase-II of Census 2027.
The training is being imparted to members of the District Coordination Committee, Sub-Divisional Census Officers (SDMs), Charge Officers (Tehsildars/CEO Municipality) and their technical teams.
Addressing the participants, the Principal Census Officer (Deputy Commissioner) emphasised that Phase-II is the main and most crucial exercise of Census 2027. He called upon all officers and officials associated with the process to understand their role, responsibilities and field-level duties before entering the field.
He directed the Charge Officers to ensure complete manpower readiness, including verification of the available Enumerators, Supervisors and reserve personnel to make sure that every Enumeration Block is properly assigned and covered. He also called for special attention to remote and tribal areas, keeping in view the challenging terrain and accessibility issues of the district.
Emphasising the importance of technology in the exercise, he directed the teams to ensure that devices, applications, credentials and all other technical requirements are checked and kept fully functional before field deployment.
The officers were further directed to maintain the accuracy, confidentiality and integrity of Census data in accordance with the prescribed instructions. They were asked to closely monitor the progress on a daily basis and ensure 100 percent coverage within the prescribed timeline, without any compromise on quality.
The Principal Census Officer also highlighted that Kishtwar, with its difficult terrain and far-flung habitations, presents unique logistical challenges. He called for advance planning rather than last-minute arrangements, particularly for difficult areas such as Dachhan, Marwah, Warwan, Paddar and other remote pockets of the district.
He encouraged all officers to work with a sense of responsibility, coordination and commitment so that Kishtwar emerges as a model district in the successful conduct of Census 2027.
The programme was attended by PO ICDS Rishi Kumar Sharma, ACD/ACP Neeraj Sharma, DSEO (ADCO) Suresh Sharma, SDM Dr. Mohd Ashraf, SDM Nayeem ur Rehman, EO MC Mirza Mumtaz Iqbal, Tehsildars, CEO Sanjay Dogra, DIO NIC Faizal Khan besides other officers and concerned officials.
