Guwahati, Aug 17 (SocialNews.XYZ) Assam has completed the Self Enumeration (SE) phase of Census 2027, with more than 11.64 lakh households submitting their details online before the exercise ended on August 16, officials said on Monday.

The next stage of Census 2027, involving Houselisting and Housing Census, commenced across Assam on Monday and will continue until September 15.

During this phase, trained census enumerators will visit households door to door and collect the required information.

He appealed to residents to extend the same level of cooperation during the house‑to‑house phase, stressing that public participation is crucial for an accurate and complete database.
