Pehli Pehchan: Mobilizing Deprived Section of Society for Universal Birth Registration in Rajasthan

Agency : Plan India, New Delhi

The initiatives towards mobilizing civil society for universal birth registration in Rajasthan since January 2006 have resulted in increased awareness of the importance of birth registration. The midterm evaluation report (2008) by Plan India laid emphasis on strengthening registration services in rural areas.

Compared to the baseline (2008), birth registration among the children aged up to 18 years from deprived sections of the society increased by more than 50 percentage points in 2010. Less than one percent children had birth certificates at the time of baseline. It follows that this increased by more than 37 points as revealed by the endline survey.
