“If the birth and death certificate data are preserved in a special way, development works can be planned properly. A Bill to link the death and birth register with electoral rolls will be introduced in Parliament. Under this process, when a person turns 18, his or her name will automatically be included in the electoral rolls. Similarly, when a person dies, that information automatically will go to the EC, which will start the process of deleting the name from the voters’ list. Earlier, the development process took place in fragments, because adequate data for development was not available,” he said, according to the Indian Express.

Shah also released a publication at the inauguration of the newly built Janganana Bhawan and said, “Today, history of all Census since 1981 has been compiled and published in the form of a book. The accountability can only be expected when responsibilities are fixed, and with the launch of upgraded SRS mobile application with geofencing today, employees at even the lowest level will become more responsible.”
