Speaking after inaugurating the office building of the Directorate of Census Operations (Assam) here, Shah stressed the importance of proper enumeration for better planning of the country's development.
“With the next census to be conducted in e-mode, it will be a 100 percent perfect enumeration and on its basis, the country's developmental planning for the next 25 years will be undertaken,” he said.
“Census is important from various aspects. For a state like Assam, which is population-sensitive, it is even more vital,” the home minister added.
