The state will use a 40-question digital questionnaire to collect demographic and socio-economic data from January 25 to February 28, 2027.
The second phase of the Census 2027 in Tripura is scheduled to run from January 25 to February 28, 2027, according to The Sentinel. Tripura Census Operations Director Ratan Biswas announced the schedule on November 14, noting that the exercise will gather demographic, socio-economic, cultural, migration, and fertility-related information.
Residents will have the opportunity to participate in self-enumeration between January 10 and January 24, 2027, before the main period begins. The process will involve a questionnaire consisting of 40 questions and will include the homeless population.
The census will be conducted using mobile applications and web-based platforms for data collection and monitoring. This marks India's eighth census since Independence and its first to be entirely digital.
A workshop was held at Pragya Bhavan in Agartala on Friday for senior and district-level officials to discuss departmental coordination and administrative arrangements. Training programmes for district functionaries, master trainers, and field personnel are also currently underway.
Tripura Chief Secretary JK Sinha attended the workshop and stated that accurate census data is vital for effective policy-making and inclusive development. The first phase of the census, which focused on housing and household amenities, was completed in August 2026.
