Bottleneck Analysis of Civil Registration Vital System (CRVS) in Chhattisgarh

Agency : UNICEF Chhattisgarh

The RBD Act 1969 has made registration of births and deaths compulsory. Civil registration system (CRS) is defined as continuous, compulsory recording of the occurrence and characteristics of vital events. It provides a safe guard to social status and individual benefits. The Act enables the government to regulate the registration and compilation of vital statistics in the state so as to ensure uniformity and comparability leaving enough scope to the states to develop efficient system of registration suited to the regional conditions and needs.

The aim of the bottleneck analysis is to reinforce the provisions of the RBD Act in both letter and spirit to achieve cent percent registration. The objectives of bottleneck analysis are to:

  • identify barriers, bottlenecks, and enabling factors which either constrain or advance the achievement of universal registration of births and deaths in the state;
  • assess capacity and strategy of CRVS in Chhattisgarh;and
  • suggest roadmap for accelerating civil registration with a sharper focus on equity

The results of Bottleneck Analysis (BA) are intended to strengthen the civil registration system and to achieve 100 percent birth, stillbirth and death registration. The BA provides key indicators at the district level. The study was conducted in five districts of Chhattisgarh: Balrampur, Dantewada, Raipur, Sarguja and Sukma.
