Shah releases birth/death registration app

• The Civil Registration System (CRS) mobile application aims to integrate technology with governance.
• The application allows citizens to register at any time, place, and in their State’s official language.
• The registration process will significantly reduce time.
• All reported births and deaths in India from October 1, 2023, will be digitally registered through the Centre’s portal dc.crsorgi. gov.in.
• Digital birth certificates will be a single document for various services like admission to educational institutions, government jobs, and marriage registration.
• The centralised database will also update the National Population Register (NPR), ration cards, property registration, and electoral rolls.
• Shah also unveiled a statue of India’s first Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at the Census Building.
