Meghalaya trains district and charge level officials for Census 2027

5 November 2026

Meghalaya has held a training session for district and charge level officials ahead of Census 2027. The session was held in West Khasi Hills district and dealt with the population enumeration phase. Officials were taken through the Census Management and Monitoring System, written as CMMS, which is the digital system used to run and track the count. The formation of Enumeration Blocks was explained, as these are the small areas each enumerator covers. The Population Enumeration Mobile App, through which household data will be collected, was also demonstrated. Administrative officers and clerks attended the session, and the census questions and data quality checks were covered. The guidelines and framework for the Phase-II training were explained as well. The Information and Public Relations Department of Meghalaya announced the training.

Why it matters for exams: CMMS expands to Census Management and Monitoring System and the Enumeration Block is the basic unit of a census count — both are the kind of census machinery facts that recur in Polity and Governance papers.
