Policy Discussion Invite: Digital Data as an Official Population Census
As part of our collective effort toward innovation for a better and more sustainable nation, we invite policymakers, researchers, technologists, educators, and responsible citizens to participate in a constructive discussion.
**Should digital population data be recognized as an official census framework in India?**
With rapid advancements in technology and administrative data systems, we now have an opportunity to explore whether a digital-first approach can complement or evolve the traditional census model — improving timeliness, accuracy, and policy responsiveness.
We encourage everyone to share views, insights, and recommendations here:

• Advantages

• Key Issues
• Possible Solutions
Our objective is constructive collaboration — generating ideas that support evidence-based governance, inclusive development, and long-term sustainable growth.
We look forward to your thoughtful participation.
