MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF STATISTICS  AND  PROGRAMME  IMPLEMENTATION;  MINISTER  OF STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  OF  THE  MINISTRY  OF  PLANNING AND  MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  CULTURE  [RAO INDERJIT SINGH]

- (a) to (e): The National Statistics Office  (NSO)  under the Ministry of Statistics  &  Programme  Implementation  (MoSPI)  is  responsible  for conducting  large  scale  sample  surveys  on  various  socio-economic subjects  on  All  India  basis.  These  surveys  cover  the  entire  country except  some  villages  of  Andaman  &  Nicobar  Islands  which  remain inaccessible. The sample is selected from all the States/UTs and the

smallest sampling unit is villages or part of village in the rural areas and urban blocks or part of urban blocks in urban areas.

In this sequence, NSO, MoSPI conducts Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE) with the primary objective of  measuring  various  economic  and  operational  characteristics  of unincorporated non-agricultural establishments in manufacturing, trade and other services sectors (excluding construction). The survey collects  data  on  various  economic  characteristics  of  this  sector including number of workers, Gross Value Added (GVA), emoluments paid, fixed asset owned, outstanding loan, besides, different types of operational  characteristics  such  as  type  of  ownership,  nature  of operation, registration status, use of ICT, etc.

As per the report of ASUSE 2023-24 conducted during October, 2023 September,  2024,  the  total  number  of  surveyed  establishments  in ASUSE 2023-24 was 4,98,024. The estimated number of establishments in the unincorporated non-agricultural sector is 7,33,99,476 during October, 2023 - September, 2024.

The total number of establishments in the sector increased substantially  from  6.50  crore in  2022-23  to  7.34  crore  in  2023-24, representing a healthy 12.84% growth.

The  sector  employed  more  than  12  crore  workers  between  October 2023  and  September  2024,  marking  an  increase  of  more  than  one crore  workers  from  2022-23  and  reflecting  robust  labour  market growth.

The Government initiatives like Mudra Yojana and Startup India have played a pivotal role in supporting the growth of unorganized enterprises in India. However, their impact is not assessed in ASUSE.

The  state-wise  estimated  number  of  establishments  and  workers  in the unincorporated non-agricultural sector according to the reports of ASUSE 2022-23 and ASUSE 2023-24 are given in Table below:
