The Census of India 2027 in Uttarakhand will be conducted according to its pre-scheduled timeline, Director of Census Operations Eva Ashish Srivastava has clarified. The announcement addresses reports suggesting that the state’s census programme may have been changed or poned.

Self-enumeration will be available to citizens from November 16, 2026, to November 30, 2026. The main census exercise in Uttarakhand will then run from December 1, 2026, to January 4, 2027.

Schedule for Uttarakhand

The confirmed dates are:

  • Self-enumeration: November 16, 2026, to November 30, 2026
  • Population enumeration: December 1, 2026, to January 4, 2027

Srivastava said reports about a new notification for other non-election states should not be connected with Uttarakhand’s census schedule. The state’s planned programme remains unchanged.

ANI News also reported on November 2, 2026, that Uttarakhand’s Census 2027 exercise would follow the December one to January 4 timeline, with self-enumeration beginning on November 16. That report is consistent with the clarification issued by the Director of Census Operations.

What the clarification means

For residents of Uttarakhand, there is no reported ponement to the census dates stated by the state census authorities. Citizens will have the self-enumeration window from November 16 through November 30, followed by the scheduled population enumeration period.

The clarification also separates Uttarakhand from reports concerning other non-election states. Those reports should not be treated as evidence of a revised census timetable in Uttarakhand.

Conclusion

Uttarakhand’s Census of India 2027 programme remains scheduled for December 1, 2026, to January 4, 2027, with self-enumeration available from November 16 to November 30, 2026. No change or ponement has been announced for the state.
