Developing training manual for functionaries of Civil Registration System in India

Agency : UNICEF, Delhi

Civil Registration System (CRS) hierarchy is not uni-linear i.e. officers at different levels are drawn from one or more departments of the State Government. It is an absolute necessity to acquaint the personnel engaged in registration work at different levels with various aspects of civil registration. The level of efficiency varies within and across the states in the country.

The main objective of developing this manual was to bring in uniformity and optimality in the training programs for all stakeholders across different states /UTs in order to strengthen the CRS across the country. The manual was developed and pre-tested with CRS functionaries in Delhi and Rajasthan. Training of trainers was conducted in four batches (two in Rajasthan, one in Assam and one in MP). The manual was translated into 13 major languages as a guiding material for imparting training in both better performing and poor performing states and as a tool to help sustain 100 per cent registration level in the states which have achieved it, and to improve and achieve the target of complete registration in those which have lagged behind. Using a single manual across all levels will help usher in uniformity of information and its validity.
