Lok Sabha Passes Bill Recognising Amravati as Andhra Pradesh's Sole Capital

This legislative move aims to provide clarity for infrastructure development and administrative functions in the state.

The process marks a shift from traditional door-to-door enumeration, aiming to cover over 140 crore population. It follows delays from the 2021 census postponement due to COVID-19. Full rollout is planned nationwide soon.
