The Sample Registration System (SRS) in India primarily collects data on:

• A Morbidity and disease burden in rural areas
• B Fertility, mortality and other vital events through dual-record system ✓
• C Hospital-based birth and death statistics
• D Census-linked population enumeration data

Explanation

The Sample Registration System (SRS) is a large-scale, continuous demographic survey by the Registrar General of India. It uses a dual-record system: continuous enumeration by a part-time enumerator and an independent six-monthly retrospective survey, with regular matching to ensure completeness. SRS provides estimates of birth rate, death rate, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality ratio, and cause-of-death data by state and rural/urban areas.
