Census trainers flag queries on Aadhaar, caste, age and birthplace of parents as key challenges
During a census enumerator training, a trainer highlighted difficulties in collecting data on Aadhaar, caste, age, and parents' birthplace. He described tactics to encourage respondents to provide Aadhaar details, suggesting it could serve as citizenship proof. Census officials, however, denied issuing any guidance on using Aadhaar for such purposes. The session raised concerns about privacy and data security.
