PEHLI PEHCHAN: Mobilizing deprived section of society for universal birth registration in Rajasthan

Agency : PLAN International/ Plan India, New Delhi

The initiatives for mobilizing Civil Society for Universalizing Birth Registration in Rajasthan from January 2006 have resulted in increased awareness of the importance of birth registration. As per the Mid-term Evaluation report (2008) one of the challenges mentioned is that registration services in rural areas need to be strengthened. To reach the most vulnerable children in rural areas the focus must be on the registration of domiciliary births, on low performing districts, blocks and villages. The focus must be given to children from socially excluded communities like Nuts, Bhils, and Banjara s who live on the margins of the society. The potential birth registration of a child should influence or should be influenced by different events that occur from the child's birth until the age of five. Early childhood services may provide an access point for registration, and the likelihood that the child is registered might be related to institutional delivery, vaccination, supplementary nutrition, and early childhood education.

After successful implementation of the birth registration initiatives in eight districts of Rajasthan, the Plan India has decided to continue working on the project activities in eight districts (Bhilwara, Bikaner, Churu, Jhunjhunu, Jodhpur, Karauli, Nagaur, and Pali) of Rajasthan focusing on the most deprived section of the society. The objectives are as follows: a) to analyze birth registration situation among the communities of deprived section of society; b) to create awareness of birth registration among the communities of deprived sections of society; c) to facilitate birth registration of all the children born during the project/ reference period among the communities of deprived section of society; and d) to facilitate birth registration of all the children aged below 10 years of the communities of deprived section s of society.
