Chandigarh: Dr. Lalit Jain, Director of Census, Haryana, Ministry of Home Affairs, has appealed to all residents of Haryana that today is the last day for Self-Enumeration, and all citizens should actively participate and ensure completion of their census through this facility. He informed that more than 2.45 lakh households in Haryana have completed self-enumeration so far, setting a new record and reflecting strong public participation and awareness across the State. In particular, significant enthusiasm has been observed among the youth regarding self-enumeration.
Self-enumeration is a very simple process and can be completed in 5–7 minutes by visiting the portal se.census.gov.in. Afterwards, only an ID no. so issued will be required to be shared with the enumerator.
Dr. Jain stated that actual House Listing and Census Operations will commence across the State from May 1. He appealed to the general public to extend full cooperation to all Enumerators and Supervisors visiting their areas and to provide them with correct, accurate, and updated information.
He clarified that all information furnished by citizens will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with any individual or institution. Dr. Jain stated that the Census is a national responsibility, through which every citizen contributes to the nation’s development, policy formulation, and equitable distribution of resources. He further informed that refusal to provide required information to census officials or non-cooperation with them constitutes a punishable offence under the Census Act.
He urged all citizens to participate actively in this national exercise and ensure that their census is duly recorded. Dr. Jain expressed gratitude to all district administrations in the State, stating that every district has made comprehensive and excellent preparations for the conduct of census operations and has put in place highly efficient arrangements. He added that Enumerators and Supervisors are the most vital pillars of the census process, and they are expected to discharge their duties with complete dedication and commitment. The Department stands fully with them.
If any Enumerator, Supervisor, or citizen faces any difficulty, they may contact their concerned Supervisor/Tehsildar. In addition, the Census Department’s helpline number 1855 has also been made available, on which any citizen, Enumerator, or Supervisor may report issues. Appropriate action will be ensured on every complaint/problem.
