Training for Census officials in Nagpur from March 23 Nagpur: Preparations for the first phase of the Census of India 2027 have accelerated, with the district administration set to begin training sessions for census officials starting March 23. The initiative marks the beginning of field-level readiness for the upcoming houselisting operations. Officials mentioned that a group of master trainers had undergone training in Pune on March 14 and 15 and have now returned to Nagpur to lead local sessions. The training will focus on charge officers and supervisory staff, who will later guide enumerators before the door-to-door data collection process. The sessions will be conducted under the supervision of senior district officials, with both rural and urban teams being trained simultaneously. The programme will cover operational protocols, digital data collection, and coordination mechanisms. For rural areas, the administration has identified 43 charge offices to oversee operations across 13 tehsils, 29 nagar panchayats, and the Nagpur Cantonment region. Each charge officer will supervise 100 to 150 enumeration blocks. In the city, the civic body has planned 10 charge officers per zone, supported by four sub-officers each, along with around five head office officials, taking the total to over 55 officers. The district is expected to deploy over 4,000 enumerators in rural areas, while the NMC will engage around 6,000 enumerators for urban coverage. Each enumerator will handle a block of 600 to 800 residents, with supervisors assigned to monitor small teams. The census will be conducted in two phases, beginning with the houselisting and housing census between April and September 2026, followed by population enumeration in February 2027.#nagpur #nmc #census_of_india_2027 #nagpur_cantonment #nagpur_district_administration
