Private school teachers can be Census enumerators
Quick dive
- The RG&CCI broadened the category of persons who may be Census enumerators to include private-school teachers and members of institutions, societies and trusts.
- About 34 lakh enumerators are required for Population Enumeration, the second and penultimate phase, which has 40 questions.
- The exercise is India’s first digital Census and the first independent-India Census to enumerate caste beyond SC and ST enumeration.
- A Census official said data is centralised and deleted from the enumerator’s end after the task, while private unaided schools received interim relief from the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a related deployment matter.
- exam_relevance: tests the specific digital Population Enumeration fact reported here, including its named institution, number or procedure; the article converts a current event into a precise prelims and mains issue rather than a generic topic.
