President Patil enrolled under National Population Register | |
President Pratibha Patil was enrolled under the National Population Register
(NPR) at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here on Friday. Speaking after her biometric enrollment,
President Patil appealed to all residents to come forward and ensure their enrolment
in the NPR. The enrollment procedure took place in the presence of a team led
by Union Home Secretary R.K. Singh, including Census Commissioner of India Dr.
C. Chandramouli, Deputy Director General (NPR) S.K. Chakrabarti and the Director
of Census Operation, Delhi , Varsha Joshi. The demographic data for the creation
of the NPR, which is a flagship scheme of the Government of India, was collected
for the entire country during April to September 2010 through house-to-house enumeration.
The data has since been digitized and currently, biometric enrolment is in progress.
Once collected, the NPR data along with biometrics would be sent to UIDAI for
de-duplication and degeneration of UID numbers (Aadhar). The government also proposed
to issue resident identity (smart) cards under NPR. Registration in the NPR is
mandatory for all usual residents of the country under the Citizenship Act 1955
and Citizenship Rules 2003.
