Data insights	The Age and Gender-wise Distribution of Total Accidental Deaths dataset provides crucial insights into the demographic patterns and population groups most vulnerable to accidental fatalities in India. By analyzing accident-related deaths across different age categories and gender, the dataset reveals the uneven burden of accidental mortality and highlights key public health and safety challenges. Temporal and regional trends enable policymakers to identify states or time periods with rising accidental mortality, possibly linked to industrial growth, traffic density, or inadequate safety enforcement. These findings are instrumental for designing age and gender responsive safety interventions, including road safety campaigns, occupational hazard controls, and community awareness programs. By integrating this dataset into broader public health and safety planning, governments and researchers can better target prevention efforts and reduce the human and economic toll of accidental deaths across India.

Methodology	The Accidental Deaths data compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) is sourced primarily from police records, based on First Information Reports (FIRs) and related investigations of accidental deaths registered across all police stations in India. Each case of accidental death whether due to natural causes, transport accidents, fire, drowning, or other circumstances is documented under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) or Special and Local Laws (SLLs) and submitted by state and union territory police departments to the NCRB. The NCRB employs a standardized reporting framework to ensure uniformity in data collection nationwide. District Crime Record Bureaus (DCRBs) and State Crime Record Bureaus (SCRBs) collate information from local police stations using prescribed formats that capture details such as age, gender, cause and type of accident, place of occurrence, and victim occupation or demographic group. The consolidated state-level data are then transmitted to the NCRB headquarters, where they are verified, aggregated, and analyzed for publication in the annual Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India (ADSI) report.
