Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma announces Census 2027 starting May 1, 2026, urging citizens to participate in self-enumeration and assist census personnel for accurate data collection to support the vision of a developed Rajasthan and India.
In his address, Sharma stated that from May 1 to May 15, 2026, citizens will be able to complete ‘self-enumeration’.

Highlighting the logistical scale of the exercise, the Chief Minister noted that Rajasthan, being the largest state in the country in terms of geographical area, will require census workers to travel long distances to reach households.
He appealed to the public to uphold Rajasthan’s tradition of hospitality and extend full cooperation to the census personnel by providing accurate information. Emphasizing the importance of public participation, Sharma said that the correct data shared today will play a crucial role in realizing the vision of a ‘developed Rajasthan’ and a ‘developed India’.
The announcement outlines both the administrative framework and the public responsibility tied to the upcoming census process. The Chief Minister’s message underscores the critical role of accurate data collection in shaping future governance, planning, and development initiatives across the state.
