Author : Alok Kumar* ,K.N.S. Yadava** ,Vipul Kant Singh |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The main objective of this study is to look into the extent of coverage of birth
registration in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Vital registration being an important
source of demographic data for socio-economic, health and other related
planning of a nation particularly at the micro levels, its recognition in terms
of its coverage and its value to socio-economic planning cannot be
underemphasized. The coverage of birth registration in eastern Uttar Pradesh
has been found only 21 per cent-11 and 43 per cents respectively in rural and
urban areas. Lack of knowledge about the procedure of birth registration,
least interest among the people due to their thinking that there is no use of
birth certificate(s), have been found to be some of the important reasons of
low coverage of birth registration in the area under study. This study has
tried to see the extent of birth registration, knowledge and attitude of masses
about it and specific reasons for not getting momentum in birth registration
in the region under study. Some ways and means by which the vital
registration system can be strengthened in the country are also pointed out.
