1. All new Pregnancies detected/being registered from 1st December, 2009 at the first point of contact of the pregnant mother with the health facility/health provider
2. All Births occurring from 1st December, 2009 also need to be captured

This is to be followed by capturing and entering data for all pregnant women and births from 1st April 2009. This data is already available in the registers being maintained by the ANM/Health facilities at various levels.
