The National Population Register
The National Population Register (NPR) is a Register of usual residents of the country. It is being prepared at the local (Village/sub-Town), sub-District, District, State and National level under provisions of the Citizenship Act 1955 and the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003.
It is mandatory for every usual resident of India to register in the NPR. A usual resident is defined for the purposes of NPR as a person who has resided in a local area for the past 6 months or more or a person who intends to reside in that area for the next 6 months or more.
Objectives
The objective of the NPR is to create a comprehensive identity database of every usual resident in the country. The database would contain demographic as well as biometric particulars. The initial collection of demographic particulars has been done by visiting each and every household in the country and canvassing a questionnaire. These questionnaires have been scanned. Using the scanned images, data entry of the particulars has been done.
Persons who have not been covered in the initial enumeration would be required to furnish the required information at designated NPR centers.
The biometrics are collected for persons of age 5 years and above by conducting camps in the local area. In the initial stage, two camps are being held in every local area. In case an individual misses both these camps, she/he would have to visit the designated Centre for furnishing the biometrics.
