Which one of the following information is not collected as part of the National Population Register (NPR), Census of India 2011?

Correct option is D

The National Population Register (NPR) under the Census of India 2011 collected demographic and biometric details of individuals, but it did not include Aadhaar numbers, as the Aadhaar system was still in its early stages and not universally implemented at the time. NPR primarily aimed to create a comprehensive identity database of residents in India.

Information Booster:

1. The NPR was introduced under the Citizenship Act, 1955, and later updated under Census 2011.
2. It collected basic demographic details like name, date of birth, gender, marital status, and educational qualification.
3. Biometric data collection (fingerprints and photographs) was integrated into NPR but not linked with Aadhaar in 2011.
4. The Aadhaar number was not collected at that time as UIDAI was still rolling out Aadhaar registration separately.
5. The NPR data is used for governance, security, and welfare schemes.
6. NPR is different from the Census, which provides aggregated demographic statistics rather than individual records.
