CENSUS OF 2011
NPR Process:
Details such as Name, Date of Birth, Sex, Present Address, Permanent Address, Names of
Father, Mother and Spouse etc will be gathered by visiting each and every household. All usual
residents will be eligible to be included irrespective of their Nationality. Each and every
household will be given an Acknowledgement Slip at the time of enumeration. The data will
then be entered into computers in the local language of the State as well as in English. Once this
database has been created, biometrics such as photograph, 10 fingerprints and probably Iris
information will be added for all persons aged 15 years and above. This will be done by

arranging camps at every village and at the ward level in every town. Each household will be
required to bring the Acknowledgement Slip to such camps. Those who miss these camps will
be given the opportunity to present themselves at permanent NPR Centres to be set up at the
Tehsil/Town level. In the next step, data will be printed out and displayed at prominent places
within the village and ward for the public to see. Objections will be sought and registered at this
stage. Each of these objections will then be enquired into by the local Revenue Department
Officer and a proper disposal given in writing. Persons aggrieved by such order have a right of
appeal to the Tehsildar and then to the District Collector. Once this process is over, the lists will
be placed in the Gram Sabha in villages and the Ward Committee in towns. Claims and
Objections will be received at this stage also and dealt with in the same manner described above.
The Gram Sabha/Ward Committee has to give its clearance or objection within a fixed period of
time after which it will be deemed that the lists have been cleared. The lists thus authenticated
will then be sent to the Unique Identity Authority of India (UIDAI) for de-duplication and issue
of UID Numbers. All duplicates will be eliminated at this stage based on comparison of
biometrics. Unique ID numbers will also be generated for every person. The cleaned database
along with the UID Number will then be sent back to the Office of the Registrar General and
Census Commissioner, India (ORG&CCI) and would form the National Population Register. As
the UID system works on the basis of biometric de-duplication, in the case of persons of age 15
years and above (for whom biometrics is available), the UID Number will be available for each
individual. For those below the age of 15 years (for whom biometrics is not available), the UID
Number will be linked to the parent or guardian.

L. What is the Link between NPR and Unique ID Authority of India (UIDAI)? Top
The data collected in the NPR will be subjected to de-duplication by the UIDAI. After de-duplication,
the UIDAI will issue a UID Number. This UID Number will be part of the NPR and the NPR Cards will
bear this UID Number. The maintenance of the NPR database and updating subsequently will be done
by the Office of Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India.
