Incidence and Rate of Accidental Deaths due to...
The Incidence and Rate of Accidental Deaths due to Forces of Nature and Other Causes dataset, compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) under the Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India (ADSI) series, provides an extensive overview of the total number and rate (per lakh population) of accidental deaths across India, categorized by broad cause groups — Forces of Nature and Other Causes. The Incidence and Rate of Accidental Deaths due to Forces of Nature and Other Causes dataset includes annual state and national level data that captures both natural disasters (such as floods, lightning, landslides, and heat waves) and human related or other accidental events (such as road accidents, fires, drowning, poisoning, and machinery related incidents).

| Data insights | The Incidence and Rate of Accidental Deaths due to Forces of Nature and Other Causes dataset provides vital insights into the overall scale, distribution, and evolving patterns of accidental deaths across India. By distinguishing between natural causes such as floods, heat waves, lightning, and landslides and other accidental causes like road traffic incidents, drowning, fires, and electrocution, the Incidence and Rate of Accidental Deaths due to Forces of Nature and Other Causes dataset allows researchers to understand the diverse sources of accidental mortality and their differing impacts on population groups. Analysis of both incidence (number of deaths) and rate (deaths per lakh population) enables more accurate comparisons across regions and time periods. For instance, high incidence states may reflect population size, while elevated rates indicate heightened vulnerability or weaker safety systems. Temporal trends can reveal the influence of climate variability, urbanization, industrialization, and improvements in safety regulations on accidental death patterns. |

| 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. |
