|July 14, 2025
As the country's largest enumeration exercise, the Census 2027, is expected to commence with the gazette notification issued on June 16 after a delay of five years, the Directorate of Census Operations (DCO) in Tamil Nadu has swung into action, making arrangements for a pre-test.
The DCO is expected to engage 1.5 lakh enumerators to carry out the enumeration in TN.
In an interaction with TNIE, M Sundaresh Babu, Director of Census Operations (and Director of Citizen Registration) for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, said the state government has been asked to freeze any changes to administrative boundaries by December 31.
Stating that further details are awaited from the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, regarding enumeration of castes, which the country will be doing for the first time since Independence as part of Census 2027, Babu emphasized that the state government would also be consulted in the process.
