💨 Abstract

The Indian government is planning to conduct a census "soon," following its decision to include a caste enumeration alongside the decadal exercise. The census will be overseen by the Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India and will be the first digital census, allowing self-enumeration. The budget allocated for the census operation indicates it may not occur this year, but a senior government functionary considers this a minor issue.
