Noida: The district administration has created 5,752 house listing blocks (HLBs) across urban and rural areas ahead of the upcoming house listing and enumeration exercise, officials said. A total of 7,135 personnel, including enumerators and supervisors with a 10% reserve pool, will be deployed. House listing and housing enumeration is scheduled to take place between May 22 and June 20.District magistrate Medha Roopam said manpower support will also be drawn from public sector undertakings (PSUs) such as Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and GAIL (India) Limited to meet staffing needs for the large-scale enumeration drive.“As administration does not have as many staffers as required, we will be tapping into staffers from PSUs. Under the provisions of the Census Act, they will be considered as govt officials and will be paid for enumeration as well,” DM Roopam said.The district has planned to deploy 6,114 enumerators, including reserve staff, and 1,021 supervisors for field monitoring and verification work. Enumerators will be responsible for collecting household-level data, while supervisors will oversee the accuracy and progress of the enumeration process. The training sessions for the enumerators began earlier this week.Among all administrative units, Greater Noida Industrial Township (G Noida ITS) has the highest number of HLBs at 2,313, followed by Noida ITS with 2,127 HLBs and YEIDA region with 543 blocks. Dadri tehsil accounts for 332 HLBs, while Sadar tehsil has 62 and Jewar tehsil has 61.For Greater Noida ITS, officials will deploy 2,519 enumerators and 419 supervisors, taking the total workforce in the area to 2,938. In Noida ITS, 2,292 enumerators and 381 supervisors will be assigned, making the total deployment 2,673 personnel. YEIDA area will see deployment of 495 enumerators and 83 supervisors, totalling 578 staff members.Among municipal regions, nagar panchayat (NP) Dadri has 179 HLBs and will require 220 personnel, while NP Jewar has 44 HLBs with 54 staff planned. Smaller urban bodies such as NP Bilaspur, NP Rabupura, NP Dankaur and NP Jahangirpur together account for a modest share of blocks and manpower deployment.The inclusion of a 10% reserve workforce aims to ensure continuity of field operations in case of absenteeism or additional workload during the enumeration drive, officials said.The inclusion of a 10% reserve workforce aims to ensure continuity of field operations in case of absenteeism or additional workload during the enumeration drive, officials said.
