VITAL STATISTICS OF INDIA BASED ON THE CIVIL REGISTRATION SYSTEM 2010 OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR GENERAL, INDIA MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS VITAL STATISTICS DIVISION WEST BLOCK-I, R. K. PURAM NEW DELHI- 110066 ENSURE REGISTRATION OF EVERY BIRTH AND DEATH PREFACE The Civil Registration System (CRS) may be defined as a unified process of continuous, permanent and compulsory recording of the vital events and characteristics thereof, as per legal requirements in the country. In India, the Civil Registration System covers registration of births and deaths only. It provides the best source of information on the vital rates at all levels. 2. This issue of the Report on ‘Vital Statistics of India based on the Civil Registration System’ for the year 2010 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 and infant deaths 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 non-availability of Annual Reports from some of the major States and limited availability of information contained in the Annual Reports of some of other States, the report for the year 2010 containing key information 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 and sex ratio at birth. 4. The data source for the report is the statutory Annual Statistical Report prepared by the Chief Registrars of Births & Deaths. In respect of States where these reports have not been prepared, the information provided by the Chief Registrars has been used. 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. 5. The report has been prepared by the Vital Statistics Division of this office. I would like to place on record my appreciation for the efforts put in by Smt. P. A. Mini, Deputy Registrar General, Shri R. K. Gautam, Joint Director, Shri Ajay Khanna, Deputy Director, Shri Sandeep Rai, Assistant Director and Shri Vimal Kaul, Sr. Compiler under the overall guidance of Shri Deepak Rastogi, Additional Registrar General, India.
