Meanwhile, House-to-House Houselisting Operations by Enumerators are presently in progress in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Telangana and Uttarakhand. The Self-Enumeration (SE) facility has commenced today in Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh and Puducherry and will remain available till May 31, 2026. The corresponding Houselisting and Housing Census field operations in these States/UTs will be conducted from June 1 to June 30, 2026. The Self-Enumeration facility is also currently underway in Uttar Pradesh and will continue till May 21, 2026, following which the HLO field operations will be conducted from May 22 to June 20, 2026. Earlier, the Houselisting and Housing Census operations conducted from April 16 to May 15, 2026 were completed in the States/UTs of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Mizoram, Odisha and Sikkim, along with the NDMC area and Delhi Cantonment Board area in the National Capital Territory of Delhi.

More than 1.44 crore households have already completed Self-Enumeration through the official portal (se.census.gov.in) across 25 States/UTs.

Residents who have completed Self-Enumeration are requested to keep their generated Self-Enumeration ID (SE ID) ready and share the same with the Enumerator during the field visit to complete the HLO process. Households that have not opted for Self-Enumeration will be covered during the physical house-to-house visit by Enumerators.

During field visits, Enumerators are collecting data digitally through a dedicated mobile application. During this phase, information relating to housing conditions, household details, amenities available and assets possessed by households is being collected through a structured questionnaire comprising 33 notified questions. The data collected forms an important basis for evidence-based planning and implementation of welfare and development programmes. All data collected under the Census Act, 1948, remains strictly confidential and is used solely for statistical purposes and development planning. Residents in the notified States/UTs are requested to extend full cooperation to Enumerators during the Houselisting Operations and actively participate in this important national exercise.

Parag Milk Foods Launches a Milk-based Protein Drink in Collaboration with Tetra Pak
Parag Milk Foods Ltd under its sports nutrition brand Avvatar, has announced its entry into India’s fast-growing ready-to-drink (RTD) protein beverage segment through a strategic partnership with Tetra Pak. The company has launched Avvatar Protein Cold Coffee, protein cold coffee in India’s first Tetra Prisma® Aseptic 250E pack, combining convenience, nutrition, and taste in an on-the-go format that fits seamlessly into consumer daily routines. Priced at INR 120, the beverage strengthens Avvatar’s portfolio beyond traditional sports nutrition into everyday functional consumption. Parag Milk Foods Launches a Milk-based Protein Drink in Collaboration with Tetra Pak The launch comes at a time when India’s whey protein-based products market is witnessing significant growth. Despite growing awareness around nutrition, nearly 73% of Indians remain protein deficient, creating a significant opportunity for convenient, everyday protein formats. Avvatar Protein Cold Coffee has been developed to bridge this gap by integrating protein into one of India’s most familiar daily habits-coffee. The ready-to-drink beverage delivers 15g protein in a 250 ml pack, with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Available in Classic and Vanilla variants, the coffee beverage is based on milk protein with no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners offering a balance between indulgence and functional nutrition. Designed for modern consumption and mid-day energy needs, Avvatar Protein Cold Coffee reflects the brand’s expansion into a broader lifestyle and wellness space. The product is packaged in octagonal-shaped pack, which is lightweight, paper-based, recyclable aligned with the company’s focus on convenience and greener packaging. The launch also comes amid strong business momentum for Parag Milk Foods, with the company’s new-age business segment, including Avvatar, recording a 91% year-on-year growth in FY26 reflecting increasing consumer demand in the health and nutrition category on trusted brands. Speaking on the launch, Akshali Shah, Executive Director, Parag Milk Foods said, “ Protein consumption in India is evolving rapidly, but for many consumers it still feels like a conscious effort rather than a natural part of daily life. With Avvatar Protein Cold Coffee, we wanted to bridge that gap by combining the familiarity of cold coffee with the functionality of high-quality protein in a convenient ready-to-drink format. The idea was to create a product that fits effortlessly into modern lifestyles while making everyday protein intake more accessible and enjoyable. We believe the future of nutrition lies in formats that seamlessly blend taste, convenience, and performance. ” Cassio Simoes, Managing Director, Tetra Pak South Asia added, “ As functional beverages gain momentum in India, packaging is playing a critical role in enabling new categories to scale. The Tetra Prisma® Aseptic 250E format is widely used globally for RTD protein and similar beverages, offering the right balance of convenience, portion size, and safety. In addition, the metallized printing enhances on-shelf differentiation by delivering a premium and distinctive visual appeal.
