INDIA's urban map is set to reflect the present-day reality by capturing the existing facilities, as the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India (ORGI) has shared a set of proforma with states and Union Territories (UTs) to update the changed composition of 'Urban Agglomerations' as part of a soon-to-be-launched exercise for Census 2027.
