Census, one of the largest administrative exercises in the world, is conducted to enumerate every household and collect comprehensive economic, demographic, and social data at a specified point in time.
In the State of Assam, the process of self-enumeration is scheduled from 2nd August to 16th August. Self-enumeration is a newly introduced facility whereby, for the first time, households are given the option to independently submit their details through the designated online portal. The portal will be accessible in Assamese and 16 other languages to ensure inclusivity and ease of use. Respondents are required to carefully fill in all relevant details, including their mobile phone number, to successfully complete the process. A step-by-step guide for completing the self-enumeration process is provided in the diagram below for reference.
Households that complete the self-enumeration process will not be required to provide all details again during the subsequent phase. During the House Listing operation, scheduled from 17th August to 15th September (30 days), such households will only need to furnish their Self-Enumeration ID (SEID) to the Enumerator during the field visit. The Enumerator will verify the SEID and update the information in the official Census database accordingly.
