Digital data collection, Census Management and Monitoring System, Code Directory Geospatial technology and other latest technologies will be used for the next Census, said the Ministry of Home Affairs report released on Monday. The MHA Annual report 2021-22 read that Data collection in the forthcoming Census will be done digitally. An enumerator would collect and submit data directly through Mobile App, using her or his smartphone. The provision of a paper schedule is also kept in case of connectivity issues. In addition to this, it is also planned to have an online option for self-enumeration during both the phases of the Census i.e. House listing and Housing Census and Population Enumeration.
