On Saturday, the Registrar General of India confirmed the resolution of a mapping error that mistakenly labeled Pasighat in East Siang District, Arunachal Pradesh, as Medog, a town in China. The error was highlighted by social media user Mohonto Panging Pao, who raised concerns about the implications of such inaccuracies on the official census portal, se.census.gov.in. In response, the Registrar General clarified that the issue had been addressed with the map services provider. The self-enumeration process for the census opened on April 16 and includes several states, allowing citizens to provide information through a digital portal. Following the self-enumeration phase, field visits by enumerators will commence to verify the data collected. This census, the eighth since India's independence, will be conducted in two phases: the first focusing on housing listing and the second on population enumeration, with the latter set to begin next year. This census marks a significant shift to a fully digital process, utilizing a mobile application for data collection.
