By republishing the Central notification in the State Gazette, Telangana is formally bringing the 40-question household schedule under the Census Act, 1948 to the notice of all district collectors, municipal commissioners, heads of departments and the general public. The GO also routes copies to all district collectors/principal census officers, municipal corporations, the information and public relations department, and the Telangana Technology Services managing director, indicating coordinated administrative and tech support for the exercise.
