Please bring about a reform in naming Indian citizens so as to remove the caste/ surname based biases and prejudices and so as to standardise the way names are coined in different states of our country. May I suggest the following: given-name-of-the-new-born followed by mother's-given-name followed by father's-given-name followed by place of birth ?

The definition section under Sec 2 needs further amendments. The meaning of birth and death to be modified as its natural meaning instead of present one. Also the definition for Digital Depository of Births and Deaths is to be incorporated. Further untraceable and declared as offical death also to be included if the person is untraceable for 7 plus years. Also registration of birth and death through OTP and use of technology through online mode also to be incorporated under the definition.

As in the case of AADHAR, National Depository of Birth and Death is to be maintained in the electronic form and the unique ID can be referred in school admission, higher education, etc and porting of data to AADHAR will help to update the AADHAR, Electoral Roll, etc become easier and more accurate than the present system. Respective changes shall be made in the relevant Acts, Rules, and procedures too.
