What was one area identified for improvement in India's system for reporting causes of death?	minimal use of residual categories such as unclassifiable or ill-defined conditions	Information on causes of death has been of paramount importance both for the policy makers and researchers alike. Such information has however, been sketchy in the developing world including India. The existing reporting system of causes of death in India needed improvement in terms coverage of death reporting, minimal use of residual categories such as unclassifiable or ill-defined conditions, systematic screening of causes of death reports, and timeliness of publication of reports. In this respect, Indian Council of Medical Research undertook a study on causes of death by verbal autopsy through its Division of Non-communicable Diseases. It constituted a task force with renowned experts of the field in the country to provide guidance for the methodology and its evolution. The survey was conducted in some selected states namely Assam, Bihar, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.	313	summary	0.970	https://www.icmr.gov.in/icmrobject/static/icmr/dist/images/pdf/reports/Contents_NCD.pdf	The existing reporting system of causes of death in India needed improvement in terms coverage of death reporting, minimal use of residual categories such as unclassifiable or ill-defined conditions, systematic screening of causes of death reports, and timeliness of publication of reports.

What did the expert group recommend to ensure consistency in conducting verbal autopsies?	they need to be based on similar interviews and the cause of death needs to be arrived at in the same way in all cases	Reliable data on causes of death is essential for meaningful planning of health care and alloca- tion of resources. In response to such pressing need, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) initiated a cause of death study by verbal autopsy as a task force project through its Division of Non-communicable Diseases. The expert group under the task force discussed possible ways to collect information on causes of deaths and opined to adopt verbal autopsy method for the purpose. It was also suggested that for verbal autopsies to be comparable, they need to be based on similar interviews and the cause of death needs to be arrived at in the same way in all cases. Accordingly, a study was planned to assess probable causes of deaths in male and female population in selected states, namely, Assam, Bihar, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu, representing different regions of India.	553	factual	0.570	https://www.icmr.gov.in/icmrobject/static/icmr/dist/images/pdf/reports/Contents_NCD.pdf	It was also suggested that for verbal autopsies to be comparable, they need to be based on similar interviews and the cause of death needs to be arrived at in the same way in all cases.
