  <param>true</param>

</action>

Also i tried giving this piece of code in local.xml. But none worked. Can anyone please tell me what should be done or where i went wrong?

Magento 1.9 – How to Add Customer Attribute Field to Registration Form

You can add your attributes through a layout update. There is a call for a block inside the customer registration template:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('form.additional.info'); ?>

You can use this to add your block:

<customer_account_create>
    <reference name="form.additional.info">
        <block type="yourBlockClass" name="yourAttributes" template="yourTemplate"/>
    </reference>
</customer_account_create>

Your content will be visible under the password field and above the register button.

If the position in the template doesn't fit your needs, then there are only ugly options like:

Add your content via Javascript on document ready
Add your content via template override
Add your content via string replace on magento block output event
