REGISTER OF INDIGENOUS INHABITANTS OF NAGALAND (RIIN)
July 1, 2019
Nagaland has decided to start a variant of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) that neighbouring Assam is updating.
About:
Nagaland Home Commissioner R. Ramakrishnan has issued a notification for the setting up of the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN).
Objective: It is aimed at preparing a master list of all indigenous peoples and checking the issuance of fake Indigenous Inhabitant Certificate (IIC) to ineligible persons.
Methodology:
It will be prepared after an extensive survey with the help of a village-wise and ward-wise list of indigenous inhabitants based on official records.
The survey will take into account whether an indigenous inhabitant is residing in his/her permanent residence or has moved elsewhere. Aadhar numbers, wherever applicable, will be also recorded.
Timeline: Designated teams will fan out to each village and urban ward from July 10, 2019. The drive for collecting information on locals and non-locals has a 60-day deadline.
Bodies involved: To be monitored by the Home Commissioner, it will be prepared under the supervision of each district administration.
