The successful conclusion of the house listing process in the snow-capped regions of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh is indeed a proud moment for Census 2027.
Covering 5,292 Enumeration Blocks (4,597 in J&K and 695 in Ladakh) is an extraordinary task and an amazing feat that reflects the efforts made by all concerned.
Census enumeration in one of the world’s most difficult terrains is a challenging task, and the valiant enumerators left no stone unturned to complete the task.
They crossed daunting heights and icy bound roads and visited remote villages, cut off from the world for months to count every individual.
This mammoth task has been completed with a sense of responsibility and in the true spirit of the motto ‘No one shall be left out’.
The completion of the house listing process in the Union Territory of Ladakh and the UT of Jammu and Kashmir is indeed a matter of great pride and joy.
For Ladakh, which has vast stretches of thinly inhabited areas and for the remote reaches of Jammu and Kashmir, this is a moment to rejoice as countless Enumeration Blocks have been covered to take Census 2027 to the most inaccessible and hitherto unconquered heights.
The demographic details of these inaccessible regions will now contribute to planning and developing infrastructure and public services like schools and hospitals.
These facts and figures will aid in decision-making to chalk out schemes for the upliftment of the art and civilisation of the people of these remote areas. The Census 2027 is indeed going to make a difference in the lives of millions.
The Herculean task has also been possible due to the support and cooperation extended by the local administrative bodies and the people of these far-flung areas who allowed the enumerators to enter their houses.
As Census 2027 moves to the next level, this moment will always remind us that India is indeed a land of unity and diversity, and Census 2027 is striving hard to reach every remote corner of the country.
