India's capital has kicked off a 15-day public outreach campaign to prepare residents for the first phase of Census 2027, deploying six mobile vans to 180 locations across the city between May 7 and 21. The initiative, run by the Directorate of Census Operations, features LED screens, interactive quizzes, and jingles designed to explain the self-enumeration process, which opened on May 1 in areas under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the city's main local governing body. Door-to-door visits by enumerators are set to begin on May 16, covering nearly 45,000 house listing blocks across Delhi.
