He clarified that the house-to-house survey is going to start in several states in the next few days, and that the personal information of citizens collected during the census is confidential and will not be shared with any other organization, either under RTI, as evidence before courts or as evidence.

33 questions.
The government has announced that 33 questions will be asked during the Census of Population and Housing Census, which will begin from April 1 this year. The FAQs cover a wide range of topics, including general census-related queries and questions related to self-enumeration. In addition, the portal provides explanations for questions related to flooring and roofing materials of the house, number of married couples living in the family, gender of the head of the family, types of grains consumed, availability of basic and modern amenities, and types of vehicles owned.
In the first phase of the census, enumerators start with questions about the house number (municipal, local authority or census number), the main materials used for flooring, walls and roof inside the house. They then ask about the use of the house, its condition and the number of people usually living in the family. According to the FAQ, the person who manages the household and makes important decisions is identified as the head of the household. Similarly, with regard to house ownership status, if a person lives in a rented house and owns property elsewhere in India, whether it is their parents’ house or a house they have purchased, they will have to select the option of living in a rented house but owning a house elsewhere.
From April 26th in Telangana.
The Centre has released the dates for the House List, Household Census and Self-Enumeration for states and Union Territories. According to this, the ‘self-enumeration’ option will be available in Telangana from ‘April 26 to May 10’. The house-to-house survey for the census will be conducted from ‘May 11 to June 9’. Socio-economic details of citizens including migration, fertility, occupation and education will be collected.
Family status for cohabiting couples
My spouse is temporarily away. Are we still considered a couple? Are cohabiting couples considered married couples? These are some of the questions included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) published by the government ahead of the 16th Census.
