Why Phase II Matters

Phase II is the heart of the Census. It is the first time in independent India that caste data is being digitally collected and validated through the portal and mobile app. Self‑enumeration empowers citizens to submit their family details accurately and saves time during the house‑to‑house visit. The data collected here will shape policies on education, employment, welfare, and social justice for the next decade. Every household’s participation ensures no one is left behind.
