The Documents You Will Need to Clear National Population Register (NPR) Test!
Home > News Shots > India newsHeads of families will have to present 21 identifiers including Aadhaar, driving licence, Permanent Account Number (PAN) and voter ID during enrolment in the National Population Register (NPR).
According to an official notification, the nationwide NPR is to be held between April 1 and September 20 this year to record the usual residents of the country who have lived in an area for the previous six months or more, or persons who intend to stay there for the next six months or more.
Several state governments have stalled work on the NPR alleging that it's the first step towards a National Register of Citizens (NRC) which is widely being criticized in connection with the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are repeatedly denying any such connection between the two.
NPR was first rolled out by the Congress government along with the 2011 census. The questionnaire then included name, date of birth, sex, marital status, educational qualification, occupational activity, father and mother's name and nationality.
The questionnaire for 2020 has a new column on "date and birth place of parents" besides other fields.
“These details were recorded during the previous NPR enumeration as part of a single question on parents. This time, we have a separate question on the place of birth to ascertain if they are staying with the children or not," a government official was quoted as saying by Economic Times.
