Census 2027 will not track begging data for the first time
For the initial time, the 2027 Census will stop collecting separate data on begging, as the category for 'beggars and vagrants etc' has been removed from the 'non-economic activity' list. During the 2011 Census, approximately 3.8 lakh marginal workers and non-workers identified as 'beggars and vagrants'. In the upcoming 2027 survey, this population will be classified under the general 'others' category.
