A special dedicated web portal will be available for self-enumeration during the upcoming Census. It will be available for both phases of Census -2027.  In a series of social media posts,  the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India said it will be the first digital census in the country, and the data will be collected using Mobile Apps in English, Hindi and regional languages. It added that enumerators and supervisors will use their own mobile devices for data collection.
