‘Taking all such union councils on board for registration of vital events in the short span of 6 years is a colossal achievement for the organization,’ he said, adding that this current project of NADRA with the help of UNFPA will support CRMS in the rural areas of the country where performance is comparatively low.

He said that ‘this short term project meant for 7 months will be transformed into a long term programme for five years.’ He told the gathering that teams of CRMS Directorate are working day and night in coordination with UNFPA to develop a comprehensive strategy for the implementation of the project throughout Pakistan.
