Bahraich: Preparations for the second phase of the Census in Bahraich district have been completed, with a 15-day self-enumeration campaign scheduled to begin on Monday. Under the initiative, residents will be able to enter their family details online from the comfort of their homes. Officials and employees involved in the census process have undergone 15 days of training to ensure the smooth implementation of the campaign.During a programme organised at the Udyan Auditorium, DM Rajesh Kumar Pandey appealed to the public to actively participate in the campaign. He said people’s cooperation would make the census process easier and help enumerators complete their work within the stipulated time.Representatives of public bodies, voluntary organisations, government offices, employees of the Economics and Statistics Department and individuals associated with Panchayati Raj institutions would also participate in the exercise.Residents have been advised to keep the ID generated after completing their self-enumeration safely. When enumerators visit their homes, they will need to provide this ID to facilitate verification and completion of the census process. This will help ensure that the exercise is completed efficiently and within the scheduled timeframe.Officials said the self-enumeration process was demonstrated during the training programme and no major network-related difficulties were encountered. In case of any technical or administrative problems, immediate assistance will be available through the control room established at the National Informatics Centre (NIC). A state-level team and senior officials will also remain available to provide support whenever required.To create awareness among residents, particularly in rural areas, tutorial materials have been prepared and awareness posters are being displayed in villages. The posters will also carry helpline numbers through which people can report problems or register complaints. SDMs of all tehsils in the district and other concerned officials were present at the programme.
