Message from the Secretary
The Government of India has initiated the creation of an electronic National
Population Register (NPR) by collecting specific information from all usual
residents in the country during the Houselisting and Housing Census phase
of Census 2011 during April 2010 to September 2010. The NPR is acomprehensive identity database to be created and maintained by the
Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India, Ministry of HomeAffairs, Government of India. The objective of creation of NPR is to help in
better implementation of various Government schemes, improve planning
and security and prevent identity fraud.
Department of Information Technology is privileged to be associated with
the implementation of this project in 17 States and 2 Union Territories (UTs).
Work has already commenced in Chandigarh UT, where demographic
records are being digitized. Selection of Managed Service Providers for
demographic data digitization and biometric enrolment is underway in the
other zones in the allocated states and UTs. This entire exercise will lead to
the creation of an electronic database of all residents (containing the
demographic and biometric details). This database can be used for a varietyof purposes for achieving our socioeconomic development objectives
including formulation and implementation of development schemes and
delivery of public services to the intended beneficiaries.
Needless to state, such a mammoth exercise cannot succeed without the
support of all the stakeholders associated with the project and the people.
This newsletter aims at creating awareness about DIT's role in implementing
the NPR project among all the stakeholders and the public. It will provide
snapshots of various activities that are being undertaken for implementing
the project. DIT invites you to send your feedback on this newsletter at

Role of DIT in NPR Project
One of the primary objectives of various socioeconomicdevelopment programmes in the country is to ensure that the
services and benefits reach the public on time and in an easy
and transparent manner. In this context, creation of a
comprehensive identity database for all the usual residents in
the country is very important as it would help in quickly
identifying the beneficiaries of Government schemes and
programmes and avoid duplication in the provision of such
services and benefits. The National Population Register (NPR)
project being spearheaded by the Ministry of Home Affairs is
aimed at creation of this comprehensive identity database.
The NPR project consists of two components: demographicdata digitization of all the usual residents and biometric
enrollment of all such residents who are aged five and above.
The Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India,
Ministry of Home Affairs, has entrusted the work of
demographic data digitization and biometric enrollment to the
Department of Information Technology in 17 states and 2
Union Territories.
For implementation of the project, the assigned states and UTs
have been divided into urban and rural zones. It is estimated
that total population covered under the NPR project in these
states and UTs would be about 62.5 crores. The biometricenrollment would be for a population of about 56.2 crores in
the same areas. Biometric data includes photograph, all ten
finger prints and Iris capture.
This newsletter aims at generating awareness about DITs role
in implementing the NPR project among all the relevant
stakeholders and the people. I request everyone to extend their
fullest cooperation and support in making this project a successand welcome your suggestions and feedback on this newsletter
