Centre planning 33% reservation for women ahead of 2029 Lok Sabha polls: Sources
The Narendra Modi-led central government is planning to implement a 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, which is linked to the delimitation exercise, ahead of the 2029 general election, sources told India Today TV on week, the Centre announced that a nationwide population census will be conducted in 2027, and caste enumeration will be part of the exercise for the first time. The process will be done in two phases, with the snow-bound and non-synchronous areas, including Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, set for October 2026 and the rest of the country in told India Today TV that the census will be over in two years, and the delimitation will follow based on the fresh population data. The 33 per cent quota implementation will be in accordance with the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' or the Women's Reservation Bill, 2023, which was passed in September 2023. The bill, which aims to reserve one-third of seats both in Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women, can only be rolled out using the new figures from the first census conducted soon after its introduced way back in 1996 when Deve Gowda was India's Prime Minister, the bill witnessed multiple changes of governments and debates before being passed 27 years to the bill, the system of reserving seats for women would cease to exist 15 years after it comes into the census and the delimitation exercise have been points of contention between the NDA-led Centre and the Opposition. The 15th and last census in India was conducted in 2011, and was rescheduled from 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, delimitation has been held in India four times - 1952, 1963, 1973 and a layperson's term, delimitation is the process of updating the number and boundaries of parliamentary and assembly constituencies using the latest population figures. The process ensures that each MP or MLA represents roughly the same number of people, and that the population is fairly states have not been happy about the delimitation exercise, with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK boss MK Stalin raising concerns on several occasions. Experts said that if the Lok Sabha seats stay the same, northern and central states such as Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Bihar could benefit - possibly 31 seats more - while their southern counterparts such as Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala may lose around 26 seats. The northern states' faster population growth over the past few years is a vital reason behind this difference. IN THIS STORY#Tamil Nadu#Narendra Modi#Delimitation#Women's Reservation Bill

Census 2027: How India Plans To Release Population Data In Just 9 Months
Last Updated: The Centre has set March 1, 2027, as the reference date for the census - the first since the Covid-19 pandemic forced a delay in the originally scheduled 2020 enumeration India's decennial population count will enter a new era in 2027 with the country's first fully digital census, promising a major leap in efficiency, transparency, and speed. According to top government sources, the final population data, with granular details on gender distribution at the national, state, district, and taluka levels, could be available by December 2027, barely nine months after the fieldwork concludes. This marks a dramatic shift from the 2011 Census, which took nearly two years to compile and release its final datasets. Officials attribute the time savings to a complete digital overhaul, including mobile app-based data collection, multilingual support, and cutting-edge processing tools. The Centre has set March 1, 2027, as the reference date for the census – the first since the Covid-19 pandemic forced a delay in the originally scheduled 2020 enumeration. The operation will be conducted in two phases: 1. House Listing Phase: Beginning in 2026, this stage will involve identifying and listing households. 2. Population Enumeration Phase: Scheduled for February 2027, this will include the collection of individual data such as name, age, gender, education level, and other demographic indicators. Digital Census 2027: Key Innovations For the first time in history, the census will be entirely paperless. Enumerators will use specially developed mobile applications, available in 16 languages, including Hindi, English, and 14 regional tongues, to collect data directly from households. Citizens will also be given the option of self-enumeration via the app, an unprecedented feature that adds a layer of accessibility and autonomy to the process. The most striking promise of the 2027 Census is the nine-month turnaround from data collection to the release of final population figures. In previous censuses, a significant bottleneck was the physical handling of data – manual entries, paper schedule scanning, and logistics related to transporting and storing documents. The digital approach eliminates all of this. Data will be entered directly at the point of collection and instantly uploaded to central servers for analysis. According to officials, the combination of mobile-first tools, automated processing systems, and streamlined logistics could cut the traditional timeline by more than half. This will be the most high-tech and efficient census India has ever seen, a senior government source involved in the planning said, adding that the expected release of detailed population data is by December 2027.

India suffered 3 diplomatic setbacks from US; Centre's foreign policy driven by domestic politics: Congress
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Thursday claimed India has suffered three "huge diplomatic setbacks" from the US which is constantly hyphenating India and Pakistan and that the Modi government's foreign policy has "failed" as it is driven by domestic political considerations. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the US' recent statements were both a "challenge and a warning" and required serious thinking "when the PM is only interested in playing divisive politics." He also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should leave aside his "stubbornness" to call an all-party meeting and a special session of Parliament. "Yesterday, Indian foreign policy and diplomacy received three huge, undeniable setbacks. The General of the US Central Command gives a statement that Pakistan is a phenomenal partner in counter-terrorism. What is phenomenal? On May 2, 2011, Osama Bin Laden was found in Abbottabad and you are calling that country a phenomenal partner," Ramesh told PTI. So, the first "setback" is the US general giving a "clean chit" to Pakistan, he said. US Army General Michael Kurilla, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), has said Pakistan is "in an active counterterrorism fight right now and has been a phenomenal partner in the counterterrorism world." The United States has to have a relationship with Pakistan and with India, and noted that it cannot be a "binary switch" where Washington cannot have ties with Islamabad if it has relations with New Delhi, Kurilla said during a testimony before the US House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. Ramesh further said, "Failed Marshal Asim Munir, who gave such inflammatory, incendiary and provocative statements, talked about the two-nation theory, Hindus and Muslims, and there is a direct relation between his statement and what happened in Pahalgam on April 22. Same Asim Munir gets a special invitation to go to America on US Army Day on June 14, which is incomprehensible." The third setback is that the US state department spokesperson again repeated that it was US President Donald Trump who was responsible for bringing about a de-escalation between India and Pakistan, the Congress leader said. He said again the US has hyphenated India and Pakistan while Prime Minister Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar are completely silent on it. "He (Modi) meets members of delegations but does not have time for an all-party meeting to meet leaders of political parties. Our democracy is based on political parties not on individuals," Ramesh said.
