The Economics & Statistics Department has informed on conducting an on-site Special Drive for the “Digitization of manual Birth and Death Certificates” of officers and staff of the Nagaland Civil Secretariat, Kohima. The drive would be held at the Lobby of the Nagaland Civil Secretariat Complex from June 2 to 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.  All Officers and Staff of Nagaland Civil Secretariat have been encouraged to avail this opportunity to digitize their old manual certificates, including certificates of their spouses and children.

The initiative is being undertaken as part of the Government’s effort towards seamless digital governance and to facilitate the creation of a secure digital database of legacy Birth and Death records. The Department is also striving to achieve 100% digitization of legacy Birth and Death Certificates in the State.

In this connection, all AHoDs, Officers and Staff have been requested to extend full cooperation and ensure participation in the Special Drive by making available the required manual Birth and Death Certificates and supporting documents, if any, during the scheduled period.

The special drive would offer services for “Registration of Birth/Death, Delayed Registration of Birth/Death” and “Correction of details in Birth/Death certificates” for events occurring within Kohima Sadar. Further, assistance for the general public login can be availed for all the districts.
