Census, SIR & empirical statistical portrait of India
The Morning Standard
|January 01, 2026
INDIA'S democracy and development rest on an unglamorous but decisive foundation: counting that brings power to society and accuracy to governance.
In this context, the population Census, scheduled to kick off in March-April 2027, and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which began in 2025 in a phased manner, starting with Bihar, are two distinct exercises with different purposes. Together, they define what India plans for and who India listens to.One without the other leaves governance lopsided-development without representation, or representation without accurate social grounding. As India navigates demographic change and democratic competition, getting these two exercises right is not a procedural detail but a democratic imperative.
