The Union government has approved the National Population Register (NPR) in recently held cabinet meeting. It will be implemented from next year. In this, a register will be prepared on basis of data collected from each household in the country. This is completely different from NRC.
In this, the names of people living in every village, city and states in the country will be recorded in a register. If a person has been living in the local area for six months or more, then he should register himself in the NPR.
NPR can also be called census work in other words. The Government of India had undertaken similar process of preparing a house-to-house list for Census 2011 during April 2010 to September 2010. Information will be kept in the National Population Register for every citizen. It is prepared at the local, sub-district, district, state and national levels under the provisions of the Citizenship Act 1955.

The populations register means that it will include details of people living in a demarcated area of a village or rural area or town or ward or any ward or urban area. There is a lot of confusion in the country about how the Population Register (PR), National Population Register (NPR), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Register of Indian Citizens (NRIC). But NPR and NRC are completely different and it can only be linked to the census.
