The Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Rajasthan, orchestrated a State Level Workshop on the Civil Registration System, Pehchan, in Jaipur. The workshop aimed to acquaint participants with new features on the portal and updates regarding the RBD Amendment Act 2023. Attended by District Registrars, Block Officers, Registrars, and Sub Registrars, the event facilitated a comprehensive understanding of the system’s advancements.
Senior officials from NIC Rajasthan delivered an in-depth presentation on the Pehchan portal, delving into technical intricacies and addressing queries from participants. During his inaugural speech, the Chief Registrar of Rajasthan lauded the state’s pioneering status in IT-enabled Civil Registrations and online citizen services.
Pehchan, developed by NIC Rajasthan, stands as a unified portal for Birth, Death, Still Birth, and Marriage Registrations, seamlessly operational for over a decade. It boasts usage by all 14,500+ Registrars and Sub Registrars, alongside approximately 1,900+ private hospitals. The portal’s primary objective remains transparent and timely registration of vital events in the state.
Integration with various departments ensures authentication of registrations and retrieval of digitally signed certificates. Daily data sharing with the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Government of India (GoI), Registrar General, GoI, and Jan Aadhaar, Government of Rajasthan, enhances administrative efficiency. Pehchan also offers a plethora of online services for citizens, including certificate downloads, registration applications, baby name additions, and legacy certificate computerization. Additionally, mobile apps cater to both citizens and registrars, augmenting accessibility.
Certificates generated through Pehchan find a secure abode in DigiLocker, further streamlining document management. The workshop not only shed light on these advancements but also served as a testament to Rajasthan’s commitment to leveraging technology for efficient governance and citizen-centric services.
