Birth, death registrations missing in CRS

Civil Registration System is the Centre’s nationwide digital database
Telangana, an IT powerhouse base for top multinationals and home grown firms, is glaringly absent in the nationwide digital database of Civil Registration System (CRS), a dynamic births & deaths website initiated by the Union Government in 2015 for a uniform registration process across the country. While the Registrar General India (RGI) at the Centre coordinates registration activities throughout the country, in 19 States it is either the Health Department, department of economics and statistics in 12 States or respective local governments in four States which do the job. The Chief Registrar in the State is Director of Public Health with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC)’s Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) being the local registration authority. States have their own unified birth and death registration management system which continues in Telangana, whereas Andhra Pradesh has integrated the data into the Centre's CRS.More Related News
