Gadchiroli Field Trainers Complete Digital Census Training for 2027 A three-day training program for 40 field trainers preparing for the first phase of the 2027 digital census concluded in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, on April 8. The initiative, organized jointly by the Census Directorate, Mumbai, and the Gadchiroli collector’s office, aimed to equip trainers with the skills needed to conduct the census in a fully digital, paperless format. The 2027 census will mark a significant shift from traditional methods, relying entirely on digital tools to collect data. Field trainers will subsequently train enumerators and supervisors at the taluka level to ensure seamless implementation. The training sessions, held at the district planning hall in Gadchiroli from April 6 to 8, were led by key officials. Jogendra Tamgadge, assistant director at the Census Directorate, Mumbai, and Hemant Mohre, naib tehsildar, served as principal resource persons. Additional guidance was provided by Ashish Wankhede, resident deputy collector and district census officer, along with tehsildar Santosh Ashtiker. Participants engaged in discussions and addressed queries during the sessions, reflecting the program’s focus on practical preparation. Collector Avishyant Panda emphasized the importance of accuracy and responsibility during the closing remarks. He highlighted that precise recording of every unit would be critical for the success of the digitally conducted census. Panda urged field trainers to ensure meticulous execution at the taluka level, underscoring the need for rigorous adherence to protocols. The training program’s completion marks a pivotal step toward the 2027 census, which is expected to set a new standard for data collection in India.#avishyant_panda #census_director #gadchiroli_collector_office #mumbai_census_directorate #gadchiroli_district_planning_hall
