BACKGROUND: Births and Deaths are the vital events and knowledge about these events is essential for the demography, health and other civil rights. This system of birth and death registration is called Civil Registration System and for proper implementation of vital registration India has enacted The Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969. Under this act any vital event i.e. birth, death and still birth are to be registered within 21 days of the event. OBJECTIVE: This study was done with the objective to find the level of registration of birth and to study the influence of socio demographical factors on the registration of birth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A community based cross sectional study was done where data were recorded in pretested predesigned interview schedule and data analysis was done manually. RESULTS: It was seen that only 61.63% of births were registered and in urban areas 71.05% of birth were registered whereas only 54.17% in rural areas. In case of religion it was noticed that 65.67% of Hindu births were registered whereas in case of Muslim births it was 47.37%. An association had been found between the level of education and status of registration. But no association had been noted between registration and socioeconomic status or place of delivery. Those who were registered, most (52.83%) of them got their certificate after 30 days of registration.
