VITAL STATISTICS BULLETTIN – 2005 	
 
Introduction 
 
 	
Civil Registration System is a continuous, permanent and compulsory recording of the 
occurrence and characteristics of vital events. It deals with the Vital Statistics of human 
beings is having almost a direct impact in the developmental planning of the country. The 
data generated from Civil Registration System plays a vital role in decentralized planning and 
hence these data at the lowest level of administrative area is well recognised. It is one of the 
primary source of population data. The main objective of Civil Registration System is to 
record the annual change of population at National and State level. The data obtained from 
Civil Registration System is one of the major tools used by demographers and planners for 
analyzing the composition of population.  
The registration o f births and deaths is a statutory activity performed  under the legal 
provisions of Registration of Birth and Death  (RBD)Act 1969 came into force in Kerala  on 
1	
st April 1970. the act provides suitable machinery for the effective registration of births and 
deaths. This provides safety to social status and individual benefits. The birth/death certificate 
provides multiple uses for the individual such as evidence of age, domicile, inheritance etc., 
Director of Panchayaths  is  the  Chief Registrar of Birth  and Deaths in Kerala and  is the 
Chief  executive authority for  implementing the provisions  of the Registration of Birth and 
Death Act. Chief Registrar will be assisted by a Deputy Chief Registrar.  The Additional 
Director of Economics and Statistics is designated as the Additional  Chief Registrar’ of 
Births and Deaths .  A Deputy Chief Registrar, Deputy Director of Economics and Statistics 
,assists him .Actual  work of the legislation is being done by the local registrars of births and 
deaths appointed under this act. At the District level, the District Panchayaths Officer, 
secretaries of municipalities and corporations are empowered as the District Registrar of 
Births  and Deaths. 
The Secretaries of Grama Panchayaths, health inspectors and health officers of 
Municipalities and Corporations and the executive officer of Kannur Cantonment are the 
local Registrar of the concerned registration units. 	
 
Conceptual and Empirical Frame Work 
As per the  R B D Act, births and deaths are to be registered with in 21 days after the 
occurrence of the events at the place of occurrence.  The details such as date of event, date of 
registration, sex and the details of father and mother such as their age, religion, literacy, 
occupation, order of birth etc of each  event are recorded in the registers at the time of 
registration. These details are carried over to the prescribed birth, death and still birth cards 
and are forwarded to the Deputy  Directors of the Districts Offices of Economics and 
Statistics Department.  Soft copy of the same is forwarded to Directorate for further 
processing. 	
Limitations of the data 
Registration of vital events is not complete due to under registration.  Lack of awareness 
about the need and importance  of registration of births  and deaths and lack of registration 
procedure knowledge among the public may be the reasons for the low levels of registration

particularly of infant deaths. This may adversely affect the quality of the statistical data. 
Efforts are being taken to create mass awareness about the importance and necessity of 
registration. While on analyzing the data it is seen that the vital events in urban areas are 
higher than that in rural areas. This is due to the fact that registration of births and deaths are 
carried out at the place of occurrence of the events, irrespective of the place of usual 
residence of mother.

 Maternal Death Rate 
             During    the  reporting  year,  360  maternal  deaths  were  reported,  of  which  192  were 
from rural areas and 168 from urban areas and the rate calculated is 0.64.  No maternal deaths 
were reported from the urban areas of Pathanamthitta .	
 	
Still birth 
During the year 2005, 3529 Still births  were registered in which 951 were from rural 
and 2578 from urban areas.  The still birth rate of the state for the year under report is 6.27 as 
against 4.68 of the  previous year.  District-wise break up reveals that the highest rate 9.75 
Kozhikkode  District followed by Alappuzha and the lowest 3.2  is reported from Kollam 
District. 
Conclusion 
 
               During  the  year  under  report Malappuram District has the highest birth rate as well 
as the lowest death rate.  On an analysis, it is seen that the estimated vital rates, such as Birth 
rate, Death rate, Infant death rate, Still birth rate & Maternal mortality rate show a marginal 
marginal increase when compared to those of the previous year, 2004.  As in previous years, 
the vital rates estimated for urban areas are higher than that of rural areas .The  tendency of 
utilising the modern medical facilities  available in the urban areas by the rural residents at 
the time of occurrence of events may be the reason for the urban bias.
