It is being created by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) under the provisions of the Citizenship Act, 1955. The NPR is being linked to the Census of India, 2021. The objective of the NPR is to create a comprehensive database of residents of India for the purpose of planning and implementation of various government schemes and programs. The NPR will also be used for the purpose of national security and law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>The NPR will contain the following information about each resident:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Name<\/li>\n<li>Date of birth<\/li>\n<li>Gender<\/li>\n<li>Address<\/li>\n<li>Marital status<\/li>\n<li>Educational qualification<\/li>\n<li>Occupation<\/li>\n<li>Religion<\/li>\n<li>Caste<\/li>\n<li>Tribe<\/li>\n<li>Language spoken<\/li>\n<li>Whether a citizen of India or not<\/li>\n<li>Aadhaar number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The NPR will be created by conducting a house-to-house survey. The survey will be conducted by the Registrar General of India (RGI) and the State Registrars of Census Operations (SRCOs). The survey will be conducted in two phases. The first phase will be conducted in 2020 and the second phase will be conducted in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The NPR is a very important initiative of the Government of India. It will help the government to plan and implement various government schemes and programs in a more effective manner. The NPR will also help the government to improve national security and law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aadhaar-based biometric identification is a separate initiative of the Government of India. It is not linked to the NPR.<\/li>\n<li>Ration card distribution is a welfare scheme of the Government of India. It is not linked to the NPR.<\/li>\n<li>Voter ID updation is a process of updating the voter list. It is not linked to the NPR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;A comprehensive database of residents&#8221; option2=&#8221;Aadhaar-based biometric identification&#8221;
