Contribution of high-quality data on vital events in evidence-based planning is well recognized and documented. Such data help generate evidence that can be used for most cost-effective
actions by the governments even in small geographies. The best source for data on births, deaths and causes of death is the civil registration system (CRS), which if complete, can provide important information for actions. In India, coverage of deaths under
CRS is known to be less complete than desired. In fact, millions of people are born and die every year in India without any trace of legal identity. Join us for a livewire dialogue on the issues of quality of death registration and causes of death data in
India.
