Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Nagaland has initiated the digitisation of old manual birth and death certificates as part of efforts to modernise its civil registration system. Launched under the leadership of Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, the initiative aims to improve the accuracy of vital statistics, enhance citizen access to essential documents, and strengthen service delivery. The move also supports evidence-based policymaking by ensuring reliable demographic data. In line with the guidelines of the Registrar General of India, the state is transitioning to a fully online registration system, thereby discontinuing the use of manual certificates and promoting digital governance.
