Civil Registration System 2018 VITAL STATISTICS OF INDIA BASED ON THE CIVIL REGISTRATION SYSTEM 2018 OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR GENERAL, INDIA MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS VITAL STATISTICS DIVISION CIVIL REGISTRATION SYSTEM SECTION WING –A, FIRST FLOOR, NDCC –II BUILDING JAI SINGH ROAD NEW DELHI- 110001 ENSURE REGISTRATION OF EVERY BIRTH AND DEATH PREFACE Birth and Deaths are the two most important vital events that define life of an individual. Not only do they describe the legal existence of an individual, registration of these events is a primary source of vital data of the population to which they belong. Civil Registration is a continuous, permanent, compulsory recording of the occurrence and characteristics of vital events, like births, deaths and still births. These vital statistics are invaluable for planning, monitoring and evaluating various programmes related to primary health care, family planning, maternal and child health, education etc. Nevertheless, information collected through registration process about vital events provides useful and important statistics. 2. This issue of the Report on ‘Vital Statistics of India based on the Civil Registration System’ for the year 2018 provides an overview of the working of the Civil Registration System (CRS) in the country and presents a compilation of data on registered births, deaths, infant deaths and still births with rural-urban & sex-wise break-up and sex ratio at birth based on Civil Registration Records. Ideally, an Annual Report on vital statistics containing more detailed information should have been brought out. However, due to limited availability of information contained in the Annual Reports of some of the States, the report for the year 2018 containing key information of events pertaining to the time period 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2018 has been brought out for the convenience of users. An attempt has been made to present more detailed analysis as compared to previous Reports. 3. The publication is divided into two parts. Part I provides a brief review of the Civil Registration System and contains a summary analysis of data on registered births, deaths, infant deaths and sex ratio at birth at State level. Part II consist of the main tables which provide State and District-wise data on registered births, deaths, infant deaths and still births with rural-urban & sex-wise break-up. 4. The data source for the report is the statutory Annual Statistical Report prepared by the Chief Registrars of Births & Deaths of States/UTs. I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all the Chief Registrars of Births & Deaths of various States/UTs for their kind co- operation in providing the requisite information. I am thankful to each one of them for their invaluable cooperation. I am hopeful for the similar response from the states/UTs in future also. I am very positive that, more dynamic implementation of the provisions the RBD Act-1969 shall help reduce the time gap and establish this as a reliable source of information on the Birth and Death registration in country. 5. The report has been prepared by the CRS Section of this office. I would like to place on record my appreciation for the efforts put in by all the officers and staff working in the CRS Section of the Office of the Registrar General and the Officers/Staff connected with the Civil Registration system in the States/UTs.

  • Proud of Sikh Heritage
    Citation of Qaumi Seva Award presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi by SGPC on the historic occasion of the inauguration of Sri Kartarpur Sahib corridor on 9th November, 2019 QAUMI SEVA AWARD On the auspicious occasion of 550th Prakash Purab of Sachey Patshah Satguru (True Emperor True Teacher) Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj, the Sikh Qaum (community) has been blessed by Akal Purakh (Eternal Entity) and the great Guru Sahibs on this historic occasion; the daily prayers of all the sangat (Congregation), belonging to every nook and corner of the world for decades are being accepted in the Dargah of Akal Purakh (The Almighty God’s Court). As a result and as a first step, a corridor connecting Dera Baba Nanak Sahib and the shrines of Guru Nanak Patshah’s life at Kartarpur Sahib (Pakistan) has been opened for the sangat. On the 550th birth anniversary of Satguru Sachey Patshah Ji, what greater divine gift could the Sikh Sangat have received than for a head of the country to become the Messiah and show political, administrative and diplomatic courage for fulfilling this wish of the Sikh community. It is only by the grace of the Guru that the joy of opening of this corridor of faith, belief and love for humanity has been bestowed upon the person, who himself is deeply in love with Sikhism and greatly devoted to the Guru’s feet. An example of this devotion is the unparalleled contribution of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in celebrating the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Maharaj, including the opening of Sri Kartarpur Sahib corridor and making Sultanpur Lodhi, the first karambhumi of Guru Sahib, a state-of-the- art smart city.

  • Output Outcome Framework for Schemes 2018-2019 Demand No
    PREFACE Major Expenditure Reforms have been undertaken by the Government over the last two-three years. This not only includes simplification of appraisal and approval processes, but also structural changes in the process of budget making itself like doing away with Plan Non-plan distinction. As a result,the cost-centres are being treated in an integrated manner, within only the statutory revenue capital framework. This enables another major structural reform, which is to bring the public schemes and projects under a monitorable Output-Outcome framework. Since 2017-18, in addition to the financial outlays of schemes of the Ministries being indicated in the Budget document, the expected outputs and outcomes of the schemes were also prepared and presented separately by each Ministry in the form of Outcome Budget. T h e s e Outlays, Outputs and Outcomes are being presented to the Parliament in measurable terms, bringing-in greater accountability for the agencies involved in the execution of government schemes and projects. utlay is the amount that is provided for a given scheme or project in the Budget; while Outpu refers to the direct and measurable product of program activities, often expressed in physical terms or units. utcome are the collective results or qualitative improvements brought about in the delivery of these services, often expressed in terms of improvements over ex-ante or earlier indicators and benchmarks. From the last year s budget, it was decided that the output and outcomes of the schemes of 68 Ministries and Departments would be available along with the financial outlays as a part of the Budget documents, so that clearly defined objectives and goals for each scheme can be seen by all.

Charles Christopher Raj Assistant Professor of History Department of Historical Studies Kasthurba College For Women Villianur, Puducherry, 605 110 INTRODUCTION Pondicherry which was a small fishing village unknown to the world was created as the window of the French Culture by the advent of the French1. Pondicherry, the very word seems to be the correction of Pudicherry2 which means a new hamlet. The Union Territory of Pondicherry constituted out of the four French establishments of Pondicherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam has the epoch of history of three hundred and fifty years3. The French showed great interest in promoting the new faith i.e., Christianity apart from their economic trade and commercial motives. The Charter of 1664 had bestowed the Royal French Indian Company perpetual concession over Madagascar and the neighbouring islands an important condition that it should promote the Catholic faith in these areas. Thus the company started its evangelical mission and Pondicherry saw the beginning of the mission by two Capuchin priests, in 1674, who came to Pondicherry along with Francois Martin to spread the Gospel among the strange population4. DEDICATION BY THE CAPUCHINS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MISSION The evangelical mission at Puducherry, saw its inception by St. Francis Xavier, which was made known by the two letters written by the saint himself in the year 1545. They reveal vicinity of the mission took in the place called Saveriacheri and they must have experienced the saints evangelical work and there are evidences that the saint made some conversion among the population and since there were no priests the new religion lost its rapport in development5.

The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.
