Census Training Commences in Karaikal for 2026-27 Population Enumeration

A three-day training workshop for enumerators and supervisors involved in the Census 2026-27 exercise officially began in Karaikal on May 11, 2026. The initiative aims to prepare staff for the upcoming population count, which is divided into two distinct phases. The first phase, focusing on the enumeration of buildings and houses, is scheduled to take place from June 1 to June 30, 2026. The second phase, dedicated to actual population enumeration, is set for February 2027. District Collector Ishita Rathi and Sub-Collector M. Pooja are overseeing the operations, with additional support from local Tahsildars. The training sessions, held at the Kamarajar campus, Varichikudy technical college, and PKIT College, involve instruction from Assistant Director Kumaran and various college lecturers. The program is conducted in two batches, with the first concluding on May 13 and the second scheduled for May 18-20. This structured preparation ensures that personnel are well-versed in census procedures and enumeration methods before the fieldwork begins.
