Sudarsan Pattnaik to Champion Census 2027 as Brand Ambassador

Renowned sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik has been appointed as the Brand Ambassador for Census 2027 by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Known globally for his thought-provoking sand sculptures, Pattnaik will use his art to raise awareness about the importance of the upcoming census and encourage active citizen participation.

The Census 2027 is expected to be a landmark exercise, collecting detailed information on caste, social, and economic backgrounds.

The data will play a crucial role in shaping policies related to women’s empowerment, regional balance, social justice, and democratic representation.

Officials have highlighted that the census findings may also lead to the redrawing of Lok Sabha and Assembly constituency boundaries, potentially reshaping India’s governance landscape.

Pattnaik’s appointment has been widely welcomed by citizens and cultural enthusiasts, who recognise his ability to blend creativity with social messaging.

His involvement underscores how art can serve as a powerful medium to drive national awareness campaigns.
