Commends are welcome

1. SAMPLE REGISTRATION SYSTEM KIRTTI KUMAR BEBARTA

2. INTRODUCTION Registration of birth and death is an important source of demographic data. Voluntary basis, no uniformity . In order to unify the civil registration , registration of birth death act 1969 was established. For generating reliable and continuous data , office of general registrar of India initiated the scheme of sample registration of birth and death ,known as Sample registration survey (SRS) 1964-1965 on a pilot basis, full scale from1969-1970.

3. SRS is a dual reporting system with continuous and retrospective recording of events by two independent functionaries. The main objective of SRS is to provide reliable annual estimates of birth and death rates at the State and National level separately for rural and urban areas. Monitoring changes in vital indicators Collection of additional data - Proof of age, registration of birth, residential status. Integration of survey of causes of d eath in SRS

4. Vital indicators collected Crude birth rate  Age-specific fertility General fertility rate (GFR) Total fertility rate (TFR) Gross reproduction rate (GRR) Age-specific maritalertility rate (ASMFR) General marital fertility Fertility rate (GMFR) Total marital fertility rate (TMFR)

5. Crude death rate(CDR) Age-specific mortality rate (ASMR)  Infant mortality rate(IMR) Neo-natal mortality rate (NMR) Early neo-natal mortality rate Late neo-natal mortality rate Post neo-natal mortality rate(PNMR) Peri -natal mortality Rate (PMR) Still birth rate

6. STRUCTURE BASELINE SURVEY CONTINUOUS ENUMERATION HALF YEARLY SURVEY MATCHING FIELD VERIFICATION OF THE UNMATCHED

7. sample units and population covered India, States and Union Territories, 2016

8. SAMPLE DESIGN Its uni -stage stratified simple random sampling RURAL Villages with less than 2000- stratum I Villages with 2000 or more - stratum II Population less than 200 excluded. URBAN Stratum I- less than 1 lakh , Stratum II- 1 Lakh to less than 5 , Stratum III- 5 lakh or more, Stratum IV – 4 metro cities

9. SAMPLE SIZE Sample’s are estimated using IMR Permissible level of error 15% relative SE. Present sample consist of 8779 units out of which 4909 rural & 3870 in urban areas India/States/ Union Territories NUMBER OF SAMPLE UNITS POPULATION COVERED Bigger States/UTs 158-555 114000-534000 Smaller States 45-201 30000-146000 Union Territories 14-55 12000-48000

11. SRS Forms and their flow Baseline Survey Forms – 1,2,3 Continuous Enumeration Forms – 4,5,6,7 Half yearly Survey Forms – 9,10,15,16,17 Compilation/Tabulation Forms -8,11,12,13,14

12. BASELNE SURVEY CONTINOUS ENUMERATION BY PTE HALF YER SURVEY BY SUPERVISER MATCHING REVERIFICATION TRANSMITON TO ORGI

13. Advantages Done every year Elimination of errors of duplication Self evaluating technique Dual reporting system Sampling frame changes every 10 years once. Wider representation of population and overcoming previous limitations .

14. Disadvantages In the last 2016 half year survey, Ladakh valley of Jammu and Kashmir was not surveyed. LIMITATIONS Only state level indicators calculated Sample
