India will launch its long-delayed Census on April 1, 2026, marking the first time since 1931 that caste will be officially recorded. With a digital-first approach, this Census is expected to accelerate data release and play a pivotal role in delimitation and implementing the women's reservation quota.

In a major stride towards advancing the Digital India mission, the National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT) has recently signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with eight visionary organizations at Electronics Niketan, New Delhi.
