OUR VISION
To be the best and most innovative National Statistical System in the world; and to
Effectively Monitor the Programmes and Projects for ensuring efficient use of
National Resources.
NSSTA: NSSTA (erstwhile know as NASA) is to be a Center of Excellence in imparting
training on Official Statistics and undertaking research activities thereto.
INTRODUCTION
1) The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) came into
existence as an independent Ministry on 15th October, 1999 after the merger of the
Department of Statistics and the Department of Programme Implementation. The
ministry is the nodal agency for the planned and organized development of thestatistical system in the country and coordination of statistical activities among different
stakeholders in Government of India, State Governments as well as meeting
requirements of the International Agencies. The Ministry has two wings, viz. Statistics
Wing, called National Statistics Office (NSO) and Programme Implementation (PI)
Wing. The Programme Implementation Wing has two Divisions, namely (i)Infrastructure and Project Monitoring and (ii) Members of Parliament Local Area
Development Scheme. Besides these two wings, there is a National Statistical
Commission (NSC) created through a Resolution of Government of India and one
autonomous institute viz. Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) which is declared as an
institute of national importance by an Act of Parliament, known as “Indian Statistical
Institute Act No. 057 of 1959”.
2) The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation attaches considerable
importance to coverage and quality aspects of statistics released in the country and uses
technology to achieve the same. The statistics released by the Ministry are based on
administrative sources, surveys and censuses conducted by the Central and State
Governments and non-official sources and studies. The surveys conducted by the
Ministry are based on scientific sampling methods and are supervised by the National
Statistical Commission. Data is collected through dedicated field staff who are
regularly trained in the concepts and definitions of the items and the scope of thesurvey. In line with the emphasis on the quality of statistics released by the Ministry,3the methodological issues concerning the compilation of national accounts are overseen by an Advisory Committee on National Accounts, industrial statistics by aStanding Committee on Industrial Statistics and price and cost of living indices by aTechnical Advisory Committee on Price Indices. The Ministry compiles data sets basedon current data, after applying standard statistical techniques and extensive scrutiny andsupervision.
3) The Administration Division of the Ministry functions as the Cadre Controlling
Authority of offices of Indian Statistical Service (ISS) and Subordinate Statistical
Service (SSS) cadres including matters relating to their training, career progression andmanpower planning.

4) ISS Division deals with the different types of works like Recruitment & Recruitment
Rules, Joining of DRs, Transfer & Posting, Promotions, Deputation, Empanelment,
APARs, Court Cases, Cadre Review, Grant of NFU/NFSG, RTI and various service
matters of ISS Officers.
5) This Ministry also acts as the Nodal Ministry for the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI)and ensures its functioning in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Statistical
Institute Act, 1959 (Act No. 57 of 1959). It also administers the Collection of Statistics
Act, 2008 (Act No. 7 of 2009)6) The Allocation of Business to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementationof the Ministry has been designed, created and is being maintained by the Computer
Centre within Data Informatics and Innovation Division of NSO of the Ministry. A
large number of reports of the Ministry are available on the website for access/use ofvarious stakeholders. System of on-line registration has also been introduced for
downloading/viewing the reports.
7) Statistics Day: In recognition of the notable contributions made by (Late) Professor
Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis in the field of economic planning and statisticaldevelopment, the Government of India has designated 29th June every year, coinciding
with his birth anniversary, as the Statistics Day in the category of Special Days to becelebrated at the national level. The objective of this Day is to create public awareness,among the people specially the younger generation for drawing inspiration from (Late)
Prof. Mahalanobis about the role of statistics in socio-economic planning and policy
formulation.
8) The National Accounts Division (NAD) of the NSO is responsible for preparation ofnational accounts, which include the estimates of Gross Domestic Product (GDP),
National Income, Government/Private Final Consumption Expenditure, Capital
Formation and Saving along with details of transactions of institutional sectors. NAD
annually brings out a publication titled “National Accounts Statistics”, containing these4statistics. NAD releases annual and quarterly estimates of Gross Domestic Product(GDP) from time to time as per pre-specified schedule given in Advance Release
Calendar.
9) The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is designed to measure the changes over time ingeneral level of retail prices of selected goods and services that household purchase forthe purpose of consumption. CPI numbers are widely used as macroeconomic indicatorof inflation, and also as a tool by government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) fortargeting inflation and monitoring price stability. CPI is also used as deflators in the
National Accounts. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) uses CPI, released by MoSPI, asmeasure of inflation for its bimonthly monetary policy announcement. The NSO,MoSPI releases data on Inflation and CPI on 12th of every month (on next working
day, in case of 12th being a holiday). Therefore, time lag in release of this data is only
12 days. The release contains State-wise comprehensive inflation figures for the usageof various stakeholders.
10) International Comparison Programme (ICP) is the largest statistical initiative in theworld under the aegis of United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). The World Bankis implementing this programme at global level and Asian Development Bank is thenodal implementing agency at Asia Pacific Region. The main objectives of ICP are to
produce Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs) and Price level indices and to convert
volume and per capita measures of GDP into common currencies using PPPs. India has
been participating in ICP since 1970 and MoSPI is the nodal agency to represent India
in this Programme. The Price Statistics Division (PSD) of National Staistics Office,MoSPI is responsible for providing data to ADB for inter-country validations andcompilation of PPP etc. The data for ICP is collected from different sources including
Field Operations Division (FOD) of MoSPI, Central Public Works Department(CPWD), Engineers India Limited (EIL), administrative data sources available with
Ministries etc.
11) The Social Statistics Division (SSD) of NSO developed a National Indicator
Framework (NIF) for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with identified data
sources and periodicity for facilitating the monitoring of the SDGs at national level.
The framework is dynamic in nature and is reviewed and refined every year. The
division also compiles Environment Account using United Nations System ofEnvironmental Economic Accounting Framework (UN SEEA Framework). The
division also collates and compiles statistical information on social, environment andmulti-domain statistics and brings out various publications to provide data at one-place
to facilitate policy makers and researchers.
12) India is a subscriber to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Special Data
Dissemination Standards (SDDS) and is currently fulfilling the Standards. The
Ministry maintains an ‘Advance Release Calendar’ for its data categories covered under
the SDDS, which is disseminated on the Ministry’s website as well as on the5Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board (DSBB) of the IMF. The Ministry releases thedatasets covered under the Real Sector of SDDS through press notes and its web-site
simultaneously.
13) The Ministry is entrusted with the development of indicator framework for
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in India to facilitate monitoring of SDGs. The
Ministry organises technical meetings on a regular basis on various topics to assess thedata-gaps in the system and the quality of statistics currently released. The NSO staff
participates in meetings and seminars organized by international and regionalorganizations, such as, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asiaand the Pacific (UNESCAP), on statistical compilations and international practices.
India has a strong system of official statistics and is among the leading countries in thearea of official statistics. The Ministry’s officials have been associated with international
agencies on the development of methodologies, particularly in the areas of national
accounts, informal sector statistics, large-scale sample surveys, conduct of censuses,
service sector statistics, non-observed economy, social sector statistics, environmental
statistics and classifications. The contribution of the Ministry’s officials in international
meetings on these subjects has been highly appreciated.

SURVEYS OF NSSO
Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS): PLFS is conceptualized to produce periodic dataon key labour force indicators to cater to the need of policy makers and researchers. The
objective of PLFS is primarily of two-fold viz. (i) to measure the labour force indicators inthe short time interval of three months for the urban areas in the Current Weekly Status(CWS) and (ii) to generate estimates of all important labour force parameters in both usual
status (principal status+ subsidiary status) and CWS annually for both rural and urban
areas. PLFS is a continuous survey undertaken by the Ministry since 2017 and the result of
the survey is released in the form of Quarterly Bulletin (urban) and Annual Report (bothurban and rural sectors). The survey is conducted in CAPI platform through tablets by field
enumerators. Till now 20 QBs and 6 Annual reports of PLFS have been released. Latest
annual report of PLFS for the period July 2022- June 2023 has been released in October,2023.The following QBs of PLFS have been released in 2023:

Time Use Survey (TUS): Time Use Survey (TUS) has been conceptualized to gauge thetime use pattern of individuals to meet the requirement of different stakeholders. The
primary objective of Time Use Survey (TUS) is to measure participation of men andwomen in paid and unpaid activities. TUS is an important source of information on thetime
spent in unpaid caregiving activities, volunteer work, unpaid domestic service producing
activities of the household members. It also provides information on time spent onlearning, socializing, leisure activities, self-care activities, etc., by the household members.
The first Time Use Survey (TUS) was conducted during January- December, 2019. Reportof that survey named as “Time use in India – 2019” has been released. The next TUS has
been launched in January, 2024.

11

Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE): Annual Survey ofUnincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE) will provide information on unincorporated
sector enterprises of the country to meet the requirements of the stakeholders. ASUSE is
designedtohaveinformationontheoperational
andeconomic
characteristics of this sector for effective policy formulation. At the same time, theestimates generated from this survey could be used in National Accounts. The first annual
survey, namely, ASUSE 2021-22 was launched from April, 2021 and continued till March,
2022. Thereafter, ASUSE 2022-23 has commenced since October, 2022 and has continued
till September, 2023 and its data processing work is in progress. The field work of ASUSE
2023-24 has been initiated in October, 2023.
Annual Survey of Service Sector Enterprises (ASSSE) has been conceived to estimate
key characteristics, such as, Gross Value Added (GVA), fixed capital, Capital formation,
number of persons engaged, etc. pertaining to the all-important corporate services sector of
the country. The survey also aims to bridge the data-gap of non-availability ofcomprehensive database of the services sector of Indian economy. A list frame, using
GSTN dataset, consisting of corporate service sector enterprises has been developed forthis survey.
Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES): Information collected in thesurvey will be primarily used for preparation of weighting diagram through determinationof budget shares of different commodity groups in total consumption for compilation of
consumer price indices for rural and urban India. In addition, statistical indicators of levelof living, social consumption and well-being, and inequalities therein will also be compiled
from the data collected in the survey.
HCES 2022-24 has been launched in August, 2022. Field work for the first year of
the HCES 2022–24 has been completed, and the survey is continuing from August 2023
for a period of one year.

Comprehensive Annual Modular Survey (CAMS): CAMS aims to cater to the need ofrequirements of a number of Ministries simultaneously by focusing on generation of highfrequency socio-economic indicators combining the requirements of different line
ministries in a number of modules of questions. It has been launched in the 79 th round of
National Sample Survey (NSS) from July, 2022 to June, 2023.
Annual Survey of Industries (ASI): Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is the principal
source of industrial statistics in India. The survey is conducted under the statutory
provisions of the Collection of Statistics (COS) Act, 2008 (as amended in 2017) and therules framed there-under in 2011. Results of ASI 2019-20 have been released. Field work
for ASI 2020-21 and ASI 2021-22 has been completed. The field work of ASI 2022-23 isunder process.

12

Urban Frame Survey (UFS): Urban Frame Survey (UFS) is regularly conducted by Field
Operations Division (FOD) of MoSPI for formation and updation of UFS blocks forproviding frame for selection of first stage sampling units in urban sector for use in various
Socio- Economic Surveys of NSSO.
Note: Digitization of survey instruments and reduction in time lag in National
Sample Surveys: In respect of systemic improvement and timely publication of data,
modern IT tools are being adopted for improved data capturing and processing. As apart of this, all the ongoing NSS surveys are now being conducted in CAPI (Computer
Assisted Personal Interview), loaded with in-built Computer Scrutiny Points (CSP),
for data validation at different stages of data capturing which is a cloud based digitalplatform ensuring simultaneous data processing. It enables faster validation andimproved data quality along with the time cycle involved in publishing the survey
result. This technological improvement caused a drastic reduction in the time lag of
release of Quarterly Bulletins (QB) of PLFS from nine months to 2-3 months from thecompletion of field work. The time lag in release of PLFS Annual Report 2022-23 has
also been brought down to around 3 months from 8 months of release of PLFS Annual
Report 2021-22 from end of survey period.

OTHER ACTIVITIES OF NSSO, MoSPISARVEKSHANA:
