&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government is upset with the estimates of the World Health Organisation (WHO) about how many Indians died because of the pandemic. India&amp;rsquo;s official Covid-19 death count in 2020 and 2021 is 481,000. The WHO puts India&amp;rsquo;s death toll at 4.7 million till the end of 2021&amp;mdash;almost 10 times the official count. The government&amp;rsquo;s main grouse is that WHO used mathematical modelling based on data from some states to estimate India&amp;rsquo;s death data. It says the organisation should instead have relied on the official count as captured by the country&amp;rsquo;s Civil Registration System (CRS) data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government says that given the vast geography of the country and the fact that different states had different mortality rates, the WHO methodology was bound to be incorrect. According to WHO, the government said it did not have updated data when they asked for it&amp;mdash;indeed the CRS 2020 was released only after the world body had finished its exercise. And even the CRS 2020 is likely to be revised as different states update their data. After all, the CRS depends on data sent by states, and these are revised over time.&lt;/p&gt;

The WHO puts India&amp;rsquo;s death toll at 4.7 million till the end of 2021&amp;mdash;almost 10 times the official count. The government&amp;rsquo;s main grouse is that WHO used mathematical modelling based on data from some states to estimate India&amp;rsquo;s death data. It says the organisation should instead have relied on the official count as captured by the country&amp;rsquo;s Civil Registration System (CRS) data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government says that given the vast geography of the country and the fact that different states had different mortality rates, the WHO methodology was bound to be incorrect. According to WHO, the government said it did not have updated data when they asked for it&amp;mdash;indeed the CRS 2020 was released only after the world body had finished its exercise. And even the CRS 2020 is likely to be revised as different states update their data.

WHO estimate and the problem with data in India -Prosenjit Datta

-The New Indian Express The government needs to understand that better official statistics are required not just to counter estimates by global agencies. It is required for better policymaking. The government is upset with the estimates of the World Health Organisation (WHO) about how many Indians died because of the pandemic. India’s official Covid-19 death count in 2020 and 2021 is 481,000. The WHO puts India’s death toll at 4.7 million till the end of 2021—almost 10 times the official count. The government’s main grouse is that WHO used mathematical modelling based on data from some states to estimate India’s death data. It says the organisation should instead have relied on the official count as captured by the country’s Civil Registration System (CRS) data. The government says that given the vast geography of the country and the fact that different states had different mortality rates, the WHO methodology was bound to be incorrect. According to WHO, the government said it did not have updated data when they asked for it—indeed the CRS 2020 was released only after the world body had finished its exercise. And even the CRS 2020 is likely to be revised as different states update their data. After all, the CRS depends on data sent by states, and these are revised over time. Please click here to read more.
