Section 2

The Central Government needs adequate and accurate countrywide registration data for purposes of national planning, organising public health and medical activities and developing family planning programmes. Population is one of the most dynamic factors in the present economy of the country but it is here that information on trend furnished by the registration data is very defective and unreliable. The national interest requires an acceptable level of performance by the States and technical uniformity of the methods and standards used in the collection and compilation of data throughout the country. The Government, therefore, consider that in order to develop a sound and unified system of registration in the country, Central legislation is necessary on the subject.
