India officially recorded more than 99% of its estimated births and deaths in 2024, according to the latest official data released earlier this month. This marks a significant increase in coverage in around a decade.

Data on #births, #deaths and #stillbirths are recorded under a continuous and compulsory mechanism known as the Civil Registration System (#CRS).

It serves as a foundational source of India’s population data — how many people are being born, how many are dying, where these events are occurring, and so on — for the accurate estimation of #mortality, #fertility and #sex ratio at birth.

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has said artificial intelligence should remain an aid to judges—not a substitute for judicial decision-making. His remarks come after the Supreme Court found that AI-generated hallucinations, including fabricated legal citations, had been relied upon in a judicial proceeding.

The CJI said AI can assist with legal research, translations and case summaries, but stressed that decisions involving rights, fairness and equity must remain in human hands.
