The Government of Rajasthan organized a state-level workshop on the Civil Registration System ‘Pehchan’ in Jaipur on January 15–16, 2026. The event, hosted by the Chief Registrar (Birth-Death) and the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, reviewed progress in registrations and introduced new features on the portal.
More than 550 participants, including district registrars, block officers, sub-registrars, and representatives from private hospitals across 41 districts, attended the two-day workshop.
Shri Vinesh Singhvi, Chief Registrar (Birth-Death), emphasized the importance of timely registrations and digital signing of certificates to ensure quick service delivery to citizens and urged officials to clear pending cases promptly.
Shri Amit Agarwal, Senior Director (IT), NIC, highlighted the success of the Pehchan system, noting that registration processes are now streamlined and the focus should shift toward data accuracy, security, and analytics. He also noted that Pehchan data is integrated with systems such as RGI-CRS, UIDAI, Jan Aadhaar, and other government schemes.
During the workshop, NIC officials presented updates on the portal, addressed technical issues, and demonstrated the Pehchan WhatsApp bot, which enables citizens to access registration services more easily.
Developed by NIC Rajasthan, Pehchan is the state’s unified platform for birth, death, stillbirth, and marriage registrations, in use for over 12 years. The system currently serves 15,000+ registrars and sub-registrars and over 2,400 private hospitals, ensuring transparent and timely civil registration across the state.
