Few of the state governments in India allow online application of birth certificates. Details of them are provided below.
Search Birth certificate online
If you belong to any of these States, check the website of that particular State whether they allow search and download of birth certificate. For example, Government of Kerala allows searching of the birth records based on Date of Birth,Gender and Mother’s Name as shown below.
So even if you lose the birth certificate , you can search for it and download it, provided your State digitised the birth records.

Birth Certificate is to be provided by the Registrar. Responsibility of registrar has been assigned to several differently designated officers/officials
At local level, Registrar can be Health officer/Executive officer of MC/Nagar Palika/In-charge PHC/CHC/Block Development Officer/Panchayat official/Gram Sevak.
So you have to reach out to any of these officers to get the duplicate birth certificate.
