However an exact comparison with the population returned by houselisting operations phase of Census 2027 is not possible, as the latter is only a provisional figure.

Census officials told TOI that the increase in households and population is on expected lines, keeping in mind the nearly 15-year interval since the last census.A census household means a group of people, whether related by blood or not, sharing food from a common kitchen, whereas census houses include all residential, non-residential or commercial units, worship places, educational institutions, offices etc.A districtwise comparison with Census 2011 data may also not be feasible as the total number of districts and their boundaries have undergone changes during the interim one-and-a-half decades. While the total districts in NCT of Delhi stood at nine in 2011, their number has since gone up to 13 with the addition of Outer Delhi, South East Delhi, Old Delhi and Central North Delhi districts.The houselisting phase of Census 2027 has returned a population of 28.7 lakh in North East Delhi, 25 lakh in South West Delhi, 24.4 lakh in West Delhi, 22.7 lakh in South East Delhi, 21.6 lakh in East Delhi, 20.6 lakh in North West Delhi, 20.5 lakh in South Delhi, 19.1 lakh in Outer North district, 17 lakh in North Delhi, 11.3 lakh in Central North district, 9.6 lakh in Central Delhi, 7.5 lakh in Old Delhi and 2.4 lakh in New Delhi.In terms of number of households, South West Delhi leads with 6.2 lakh households, followed by North East with 6.1 lakh, West Delhi with 5.9 lakh, East Delhi with 5.5 lakh, South East with 5.4 lakh, South Delhi with 5.3 lakh, North West Delhi with 4.7 lakh, Outer North with 4.4 lakh, North Delhi with nearly 4 lakh, Central North Delhi with 2.7 lakh, Central Delhi with 2.4 lakh, Old Delhi with 1.6 lakh and New Delhi with 63,050 households.South West Delhi has the most houses (for the purpose of Census) at over 8.2 lakh, followed by North East Delhi and West Delhi at a little more than 8 lakh, East Delhi at 7.5 lakh, Outer North at 7.2 lakh, South East Delhi at 7.1 lakh, South Delhi at 6.8 lakh, North West Delhi at 6.3 lakh, North Delhi at 5.4 lakh, Central North at 3.8 lakh, Central Delhi at 3.6 lakh, Old Delhi at 2.9 lakh and New Delhi at over 1 lakh.Census 2027 will be held in two phases.

NEW DELHI: Karnataka home minister Priyank Kharge on Monday wrote to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat seeking detailed disclosures on the organisation’s legal status, finances, organisational structure and tax compliance. In an open letter addressed to Bhagwat that Priyank Kharge posted on X, he congratulated the organisation on its centenary but argued that its vast scale and influence make public accountability imperative.Citing figures from the RSS’s own annual report, the Karnataka minister noted that the organisation operates 4,127 daily shakhas, 1,389 weekly milans and 60 monthly mandalis in Karnataka. He also referred to 2,194 Samajotsavas attended by over 19.6 lakh people and 562 route marches involving more than 2.2 lakh uniformed participants.”Such an extensive organisational presence, especially when it involves regular public mobilisation, uniformed route marches and large-scale social outreach, cannot be treated as a private or informal arrangement,” he wrote.The Congress leader said the scale of the organisation raises legitimate questions regarding legal status, accountability, financial transparency, permissions, sources of funding and compliance with Indian laws.Priyank Kharge called upon the RSS to place several details in the public domain, including its legal status, organisational structure, office-bearers, sources of donations and income, expenditure and assets, tax compliance records, and the legal basis on which it operates without formal registration.He also sought information on permissions and authorisations obtained for public events, route marches and mass gatherings organised by the Sangh.”In a constitutional democracy, no organisation, however old, large or influential, can remain above scrutiny,” he said, arguing that trusts, NGOs, societies, religious institutions and companies are routinely required to disclose their activities and finances.The minister further contended that an organisation that frequently invokes nationalism, discipline and duty should itself demonstrate transparency and constitutional compliance.”The RSS cannot ask ordinary Indians to follow rules while exempting itself from the same standards,” he wrote.Calling the RSS centenary an opportunity for “constitutional introspection”, Priyank Kharge urged the organisation to formally register itself, disclose its finances and activities, pay all applicable taxes and function as a transparent and accountable body under Indian law.The move came after he strongly defended Kerala CM VD Satheesan’s demand that university vice-chancellors apologise for attending an RSS programme earlier in the day. Questioning the participation of heads of educational institutions in events associated with the RSS, Priyank Kharge had asked what message such appearances send to students.”When anybody is in a position like a vice chancellor, they are responsible for an entire university where the futures of lakhs of students are decided. If you attend and sit in these RSS meetings, which promote a specific ideology and do not cultivate a scientific temperament, what kind of message are you sending to the students?” he told reporters in Bengaluru, according to news agency ANI.Get the latest India news and live updates.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday described India and Slovakia as partners with “shared trust, shared priorities, and a shared future” as the two countries elevated their relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership during his landmark visit to Bratislava, the first ever by an Indian Prime Minister to the Central European nation.Addressing a joint press conference with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico after delegation-level talks, PM Modi thanked his counterpart for the warm welcome and credited him with helping strengthen bilateral ties.“I express my heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Robert Fico for his warm welcome. He is an experienced leader and a true friend of India. His friendship and unwavering commitment have played a significant role in elevating India-Slovakia relations to new heights,” PM Modi said.Calling the visit a “historic moment” in bilateral relations, he added, “This is the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Slovakia. I am delighted that on this historic occasion, we have decided to elevate our relations to a Comprehensive Partnership. This symbolises our shared trust, shared priorities, and a shared future.”PM Modi said the two leaders held extensive discussions on expanding cooperation across key sectors and pointed to untapped opportunities despite growing economic engagement.“The progress in our bilateral trade and economic cooperation is a matter of satisfaction for us. But our potential is vast. Our aspirations are even greater,” he said.He identified automobiles, railways, advanced manufacturing and green technology as priority areas and thanked Slovakia for supporting efforts to finalise the India-European Union Free Trade Agreement.“I express special gratitude to the Prime Minister of Slovakia’s support in finalising the India-EU FTA. We will work towards its early implementation so that industries, startups, and traders from both countries can reap maximum benefits,” PM Modi said.Technology emerged as a central theme of the talks. PM Modi said a memorandum of understanding on digital technology would create new opportunities in digital public infrastructure, while welcoming the establishment of an India Chair on Artificial Intelligence at a Slovak university.“Technology is a key pillar of our future partnership,” he said, adding that cooperation in space and civil nuclear energy also held significant promise. PM Modi invited Slovak companies to participate in India’s rapidly expanding space sector.He also highlighted defence ties, saying, “Defence cooperation is a testament to our deep mutual trust and strategic convergence. I am pleased that we signed a Letter of Intent today in this important area. This will give new impetus to joint development, joint production, and cooperation between the defence industry.”Get the latest India news and live updates.
