The Census 2027 population enumeration phase 2 is scheduled to begin on August 17, starting in snow-bound northern areas. This upcoming phase marks a significant shift by capturing caste details for the first time since 1931.
In addition to caste data, the census will record the date and birthplace of respondents' parents as declared by individuals. The enumeration process may also collect passport and Aadhaar numbers on a voluntary basis.
