The news of the Government allocating Rs 11,700 crore for Census 2027, with the headcount beginning in April, resonates deeply with my long-standing conviction about the fundamental importance of data. This isn't merely a bureaucratic exercise; it's a profound commitment to understanding the very fabric of our nation. It's about taking the pulse of India, meticulously counting every individual, every household, to build a comprehensive picture of who we are and where we are headed.
For years, I have emphasized the critical role of robust data in shaping effective policy and fostering sustainable growth. I’ve often spoken about the significance of a "Digital Data Platform," aligning with the government's focus on data governance, as highlighted in my past reflections on "Awaiting : Govt Action on Monetization of Data" [http://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2024/10/awaiting-govt-action-on-monetization-of.html]. The census is the ultimate foundational layer for such platforms, providing the raw, irrefutable truth about our demographics, economy, and social trends.
This massive data collection effort is vital for understanding the dynamic shifts within our society. I’ve often pondered the immense human potential of our nation, whether in envisioning "TEN MILLION ENTREPRENEURS?" [https://emailothers.blogspot.com/2015/10/ten-million-entrepreneurs.html] or observing the "Influencer Boom Fuels Demand for Talent" [http://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2025/04/influencer-boom-fuels-demand-for.html]. The census will give us a clearer picture of these emerging segments, helping us grasp their scale and impact. Moreover, my earlier observation about the annual addition of 12 million youth to our “Working-Age” population, as discussed in “Idea Whose Time Has Come” [http://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/02/idea-whose-time-has-come.html], finds its definitive validation and granular detail through such a comprehensive headcount. This data empowers us to strategically plan for job creation, education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
The core idea Hemen wants to convey is this — take a moment to notice that he had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. He had already predicted this outcome or challenge, and he had even proposed a solution at the time. Now, seeing how things have unfolded, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, he feels a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context.
