GANDERBAL: In a significant step towards Digital Census 2027, Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Kangan, Mian Meher Ali today completed his Self-Enumeration through the Census Self-Enumeration Portal, becoming one of the first public representatives in District Ganderbal to do so.

The Self-Enumeration exercise was facilitated by Tehsildar Kangan, who is also the Charge Officer for Census 2027 in Tehsil Kangan. Tehsildar Kangan briefed the MLA about the importance of Digital Census, the use of Mobile App and Web Portal, and the role of citizens in ensuring error-free, real-time data collection.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Kangan said, ā€œCensus is the foundation of all planning and welfare schemes. I appeal to all residents of Kangan to come forward and complete their Self-Enumeration. This will ensure that J&K’s data is accurate and our developmental needs are projected correctly at the national level.ā€

Tehsildar Kangan, informed that Tehsil Kangan was praised at All India level for its time bound and error free completion of Census 2025 Pre-Test in November 2025. ā€œWe are committed to making Census 2027 a people’s movement. Self-Enumeration reduces workload on enumerators and improves data quality. Our teams are conducting door-to-door awareness and setting up facilitation camps in Panchayats,ā€ he said.

The demonstration was attended by General Public, Supervisors, and Census functionaries. A dedicated helpdesk has been established at Tehsil Office Kangan to assist citizens in Self-Enumeration from 10 AM to 4 PM on all working days.
