 ABOUT THE SAMPLE REGISTRATION SYSTEM (SRS)
The Sample Registration System (SRS) is a large-scale demographic survey for providing reliable annual estimates of
Infant mortality rate, birth rate, death rate and other fertility & mortality indicators at the national and sub-national levels. Initiated
on a pilot basis by the OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR GENERAL, INDIA in a few selected states in 1964-65, it became fully
operational during 1969-70 with about 3700 sample units. The field investigation consists of continuous enumeration of births and
deaths in selected sample units by resident part time enumerators, generally anganwadi workers & teachers, and an independent
survey every six months by SRS supervisors. The data obtained by these two independent functionaries are matched. The
unmatched and partially matched events are re-verified in the field and thereafter an unduplicated count of births and deaths is
obtained. The sample unit in rural areas is a village or a segment of it, if the village population is 2000 or more. In urban areas,
the sampling unit is a census enumeration block with population ranging from 750 to 1000. The SRS sample is replaced every ten
years based on the latest census frame. The current Sample is based on the 2011 Census frame and is effective from January 2014.
This is the first series of the estimate from newly selected samples. At present, SRS is operational in 8853 sample units (4,961
rural and 3,892 urban) spread across all States and Union territories.
