District Census Handbook key to development planning: Collector Sumit Kumar

The government counts people and information about towns and villages.

In India, this official data is written in a book called the District Census Handbook.

A leader named Sumit Kumar says this book is very important.

It helps leaders decide how to build and develop schools, roads, and hospitals.

He spoke at a training meeting in Chittoor on Wednesday.

He told workers to check all facts carefully before writing them down.

The next big counting event is Census-2027, and officials are getting ready.

They will train many government workers in stages.

The workers will talk to many departments to gather correct information.

With careful work, the book will be reliable and helpful for everyone.
