The NPR has been made compulsory for the citizens, who want to exercise the right to fill the census form on their own rather than through government enumerators.For this, the census authority has designed a self-enumeration portal, which is yet to be launched.During self-enumeration, an Aadhaar or mobile number will be mandatorily collected.The Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner had prepared 31 questions to be asked.Those questions include whether a family has a telephone, internet connection, mobile or smartphone, bicycle, scooter or motorcycle or moped, whether they own a car, jeep or a van.The citizens will also be asked what is the cereal they consume in the household, main source of drinking water, main source of lighting, access to toilet, type of toilet, waste water outlet, availability of bathing facility, availability of kitchen and LPG/PNG connection, main fuel used for cooking, availability of radio, transistor, television.The citizens will also be asked about the predominant material of the floor, wall and roof of the house, the condition of the house, total number of persons normally residing in the household, whether the head of the household is a woman, whether the head of the household belongs to the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe, number of dwelling rooms exclusively in possession of the household, number of married couple(s) living in the household among others.
