Amidst anti-NPR agitation, Tripura all set to collect NPR data through mobile app

February 16: Amidst agitation by the opposition against the NPR, National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the Tripura Government is all ready to collect data for National Population Register (NPR) data through only mobile app. This was decided by the Tripura State Level Census Coordination Committee headed by Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar.

The NPR data in Tripura will be collected from May 16 to June 29. Further, training of around 11,000 enumerators would start soon. The decision is in line with Union home minister Amit Shah’s announcement last year where he said that the mobile app for 2021 census operation would be a transformation from paper census to a digital census.
