CM Yogi Launches Census 2027, Calls It Foundation of Inclusive Development The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, inaugurated the Census 2027 initiative on May 7, 2026, during a program held at his official residence. The event marked the beginning of a comprehensive house-listing and housing census exercise, which aims to gather detailed data on residential properties across the state. Adityanath emphasized the significance of the census, stating that it serves as a foundational step for achieving holistic, inclusive, and well-planned development. He highlighted the motto of the initiative, “Hamari Janganana, Hamara Vikas” (Our Census, Our Development), which underscores the connection between accurate data collection and sustainable growth. The census, which focuses on mapping housing infrastructure, is designed to provide critical insights into the availability, distribution, and conditions of residential properties. Adityanath asserted that such data is essential for formulating policies that address housing shortages, improve urban planning, and ensure equitable resource allocation. He reiterated that the census transcends mere population counting, positioning it as a strategic tool to guide development efforts across various sectors. The initiative follows a series of preparatory steps, including the deployment of teams to collect data from households and the establishment of a centralized database for analysis. Officials have emphasized the importance of accuracy and transparency in the process, with plans to engage local communities and stakeholders to ensure participation. The census is expected to take several months to complete, with preliminary results anticipated by late 2026.#uttar_pradesh #cm_yogi_adityanath #census_2027 #hamari_janganana_hamara_vikas #centralized_database
