New Delhi, April 27 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged citizens to actively participate in the Census 2027, calling it a "shared responsibility of all", and appealed to people to make the ongoing exercise a success. Addressing the nation during his 133rd monthly radio programme, "Mann Ki Baat," the Prime Minister said citizens will have the option to self-enumerate using an app before enumerators visit households. He added that over 10 million households have already been covered in initial listing exercises. "Census 2027 has been made digital. you can enter your information yourself." This will be India's 16th decennial census and the first to be conducted entirely through digital means. Originally intended for 2021 but delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic, it will now take place in two primary phases across 2026 and 2027. He further highlighted recent developments in the country's nuclear and renewable energy sectors. India's civil nuclear programme reached a "historic milestone" after the Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu achieved criticality-the stage where a reactor sustains a nuclear chain reaction for the first time, he said. The PM noted that the reactor was built using indigenous technology and described breeder reactors as systems that can generate energy while also producing new fuel. This comes in the backdrop of the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, 2025, passed by Parliament in December last year. The bill marks an overhaul of India's nuclear energy laws. It replaces older laws from 1962 and 2010, and opens up nuclear power to private and foreign participation. The PM also pointed to progress in renewable energy, saying India's installed wind power capacity has crossed 56 gigawatts, with about 6 GW added in the past year. India now ranks fourth globally in wind energy capacity, he said, citing states like Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Rajasthan as key contributors. On wildlife, he noted the return of blackbucks in Chhattisgarh, saying their population had once declined but has now seen a revival due to sustained conservation efforts. "Blackbucks have reappeared in Chhattisgarh. Their numbers had once dwindled, but persistent efforts led to increased conservation. Today, they are once again seen roaming the open plains. This marks the return of our lost heritage," he said. Modi concluded the address by recalling historical and cultural milestones, including the upcoming birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore and the legacy of the 1857 uprising, while urging citizens to participate actively in national initiatives like the census....
