Register every birth, death, and stillbirth within 21 days: Udupi DC
Udupi: Deputy commissioner Vidya Kumari K stressed that every birth, death, and stillbirth in the district must be mandatorily registered with the appropriate authority within 21 days. She was speaking at the quarterly meeting of the district-level Birth and Death Coordination Committee held recently. The district currently has a total of 326 registration units, including 313 in rural areas and 13 in urban areas. According to available data, last year, 11,161 births were registered in the district, of which 1,185 were from rural areas and 9,976 from urban areas. A total of 12,269 deaths were registered, with 7,269 from rural areas and 5,000 from urban areas. The number of stillbirths registered stood at 61. The overall sex ratio in the district was recorded at 976 females for every 1,000 males. She said that it is the responsibility of every citizen to ensure that births and deaths are registered without delay. In rural areas, registration can be done up to 30 days with the gram panchayat secretaries, while in urban areas, medical officers at primary and community health centres, taluk and district hospitals are authorised to register these events.

In town municipalities and town panchayats, health inspectors are the designated registration officials. She explained that registration within 21 days is completely free of charge. If the registration is done between 21 and 30 days, a fee of Rs 20 is applicable. For registrations done between 30 days and one year from the date of the event, a fee of Rs 50 is charged. A birth can be registered without the baby's name, and the name can be added within 12 months without any fee. However, no corrections or alterations can be made in the records once they are finalised. She also mentioned that births that occur abroad can be registered overseas. However, if the parents of the child are Indian citizens and plan to settle in India, they must register the birth within 60 days of returning to the country.
