It has been reported that the government is set to commence the next census, which serves as an official survey of the population, in 2025 after a delay of four years. The census is expected to take place from 2025 through 2026.
Following the census, the delimitation of Lok Sabha seats will begin, with expectations for this process to be finalized by 2028, as stated by the sources.
This development occurs in light of demands from various opposition parties for a caste census. However, the government has not yet made a decision, and the details surrounding the census process remain to be disclosed.
