The NPR is a database of usual residents in the country who have stayed in a local area for
the past six months or more and who intend to remain in the same place for the next six
months or more. The NPR is individual and identity specific unlike the Census which only
provides information on the status of the residents of India and population swings.
The NPR database was first created in 2010. The electronic database of more than 119
crore usual residents of the country has already been created under the NPR in English as
well as the regional languages. The data collection is done under the aegis of the Office of
the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India. The NPR is undertaken under the
provisions of The Citizenship Act, 1955 and The Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and
issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003. The NPR was last updated, except in Assam
and Meghalaya, in 2015-16.
