The Union Home Ministry informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that “data validation” for the three statistical reports published by the National Crime Records Bureau for the year 2023 is in final stage. NCRB releases three annual statistical reports namely ‘Crime in India’, ‘Accidental Deaths & Suicides in India’ and ‘Prison Statistics India’. Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar, while responding to a question on the reasons for delays in the release of the NCRB reports, said in a written reply, “The publications collate data of a calendar year, hence, the process of collection of data is initiated only after the completion of the respective year. Data validation for the 2023 reports is in final stage.” The reply added that the data is collected digitally through a dedicated software application developed by NCRB and its “consolidation and compilation is done at various levels in the District and States and subsequently by the NCRB”.
