Sample Registration System
The level of registration under the RBD Act 1969 was low. Therefore in order to improve the level of registration, SRS was introduced. The responsibility of SRS is on the Office of Registrar General, India.
SRS provides estimates of- Birth rate Death rate Infant mortality rate Life expectancy at birth, at 1 year, at 5 years and at 60 years The data is also classified based on urban- rural differences & sex wise difference.
Methodology SRS in India is conducted by dual method- Continuous enumeration of births and deaths in a sample of villages/urban block by a resident of that area – PART TIME ENUMERATOR Independent six monthly retrospective survey by a FULL TIME SUPERVISOR. Data from two sources are matched. Un-matched events are re-verified by a revisit.
SRS data for India 2020
Birth rate The highest Birth Rate is 25.5 in Bihar , whereas A & N Islands has the lowest Birth Rate of 10.8 .
Death rate Chhattisgarh has highest Death Rate of 7.9 , whereas the lowest Death Rate is in Delhi at 3.6 .
Infant Mortality Rate In 2020, the maximum IMR is for Madhya Pradesh (43) and minimum for Mizoram (3).
National Family Health Survey
It is a large scale survey, conducted in a representative sample of households throughout India. Provides data for- Fertility Infant and child mortality Family planning Maternal and Child health Nutrition Quality of Health and Family planning services

Goals Two goals- To collect essential data for the Ministry ( MoHFW ) and related agencies for planning policies Information for emerging issues on health and family welfare. First NFHS was done in 1992-93 Latest NFHS- 5 was done 2019-21.
TFR has reached 2.0 from previous rate of 2.2 where urban India has a TFR of only 1.6 while for rural it is 2.1 Sex ratio improved from 991 to 1020 Sex ratio at birth- Marginal improvement from 919 to 929 girls per 1000 boys. Anaemia in 6-59 months age- 67.1% Anaemia in non pregnant woman (15-49 y)- 57.2% Anaemia in pregnant woman (15-49 y)- 52.2% Anaemia in men(15-49 y)- 25%
National Population Register
It is a register of usual residents of the country. The usual residents include citizens and those foreign nationals who are residing in India from the past 6 months or more OR are willing to stay for at least 6 months. Aim of NPR is to prepare a database of identity of all the usual residents. First NPR was prepared in 2010. NPR was updated by door-to-door survey in 2015.
Current NPR survey is collecting data including details like- Birth place Name of parents Birth certificate Aadhaar card (optional) PAN card Driving license etc. NPR is prepared at the village/ward level; tehsil/taluka (sub-district) level; district level; state level; national level
