The sessions deal with the census method, its legal provisions, key concepts and definitions, and questions on migration, fertility and economic activity. The course also gave practice on the enumeration mobile app and on drawing layout maps of enumeration blocks. Kohima district held its own Field Trainer Training for Census 2027 Phase-II on 28th October 2026.
