Vital Registration System (VRS)

Vital Registration System (VRS):

Simply speaking, VRS is the record of birth and migration. The records of vital information/ events like birth, death, marriage, divorce, migration are known as the Vital Registration System. After registration of vital events, the registration certificate is given which is required for various legal purposes.

Other data sources on crucial events such as birth, death, and migration exist in addition to censuses. Births, deaths, divorces, marriages, and migrations must all be recorded with the Registrar's office. Nowadays, these registrations are necessary even for school admission, property purchase and sale, and certain other social work. Vital statistics are the statistics derived from the compilation and modification of these data.

Vital statistics are critical in researching societal trends and making critical legislative and business choices. These figures are derived from census and registrar's reports; vital records are also kept by physicians, attorneys, funeral directors, clerics, priests, and other professions. There are two types of vital statistics: crude rates and refined rates.

The number of births and deaths per thousand persons in a particular population are examples of crude rates. Progressive rates are crucial data concerning a certain population segment, such as the number of births and deaths per 1000 persons in a specific age group, ethnic group, gender, or state population.
