The Directorate of Census Operations of Delhi launched a 15-day awareness campaign for the first phase of Census 2027 on Thursday, deploying six mobile outreach vans across areas under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
The campaign, running from May 7-21, aims to spread awareness about the ongoing phase one of Census 2027. According to a senior census official, the outreach drive will cover 180 identified locations across the city. “The locations for the drives were picked based on the footfall in the area for maximum visibility. We will be covering 12 locations each day until May 21 to reach as many people as possible,” she said.
