Statistical System In India
• Central Statistical Office (CSO): The main
responsibility assigned to the CSO is to bring about
coordination of statistical activities among various
statistical agencies in the Central Government and of
Statistical Bureaus of State Governments, which were
set up for similar coordination of activities of statistical
agencies at the State level.
• National Sample Survey Office (NSSO): The main
responsibility assigned to the NSSO is to collect data on
varied Socio-Economic subjects through nation-wide
sample surveys to create and update data base.

National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)
• The Directorate of National Sample Survey (NSS) came
into being in 1950 to collect information through sample
surveys on a variety of socio-economic aspects.
• The Directorate of NSS was assigned the job ofconducting the field work.
• The work relating to finalisation of sampling design,schedules of enquiries, writing of instructions, training offield staff, processing of data and writing of reports wasall entrusted to the Indian Statistical Institute.
![Page 5: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)
• In March 1970, the Directorate of NSS was reorganised
and all aspects of its work were brought under a single
government organization called National Sample Survey
Organisation (NSSO) under the overall technical
guidance of Governing Council.
• After the formation of National Statistical Commission(NSC) on 01.06.2005, the Governing Council of NSSOwas dissolved and its work was taken over by NSC.

Basic Concepts of Survey Sampling Theory
![Page 24: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Statistical Survey Sampling
Statistical Survey Sampling is a systematicapproach to selecting a few elements (a sample)from an entire collection of data (a population) inorder to make some inferences about the totalpopulation.
The sampling methods help us to ensure thatsamples represent the entire population.
A sample of fairly modest size is sufficient to givea reasonable idea of a much larger universe.
![Page 25: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3
Advantages of Survey Sampling
less expensive
timeliness
wider range of survey data
wider choice of methods of observation,
measurement or questioning
results subject to smaller non-sampling
errors
![Page 26: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
4
Disadvantages of Survey Sampling
results of a sample survey are subject to
sampling errors.
a sample may seriously over-represent,
under-represent, or even fail to represent
infrequently-occurring subgroups of a
population.
results at disaggregated levels may not
be reliable.
![Page 27: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Sampling and Non-sampling Errors
![Page 30: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The theory of survey sampling
includes a variety of sample selection
and estimation methods
its objective is to obtain a reasonably
representative sample
![Page 31: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Methods of Sampling – three
broad categories
The three broad categories of methods
of sampling are
(a) Non-probability sampling
– Subjective or purposive or
judgment sampling
(b) Probability sampling
(c) Mixed Sampling
![Page 32: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sample Design specifies
i. the population to be surveyed, sample units to
adopt and different stages of selection if required
ii. sample selection method,
iii. sampling frame to use (list of units, maps of area),
iv. size of the sample,
v. stratification,
vi. allocation of size to different strata,
vii. statistic to be used
viii. treatment of non-response
ix. estimation procedure of sampling error.
![Page 33: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
11
Sample Selection Procedures / Schemes
Some of the common selection methods of
sample are:
a. Simple Random Sampling
b. Systematic Sampling
c. Stratified Sampling
d. Cluster Sampling
e Probability Proportional-to-size Sampling
f. Multi-stage sampling.
![Page 34: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
12
Stratified Sampling
In this sampling procedure, we divide the population into relatively homogeneous groups called Strata.
Then from each stratum randomly select a specified number of elements using any of the following two criteria:
Proportional allocation
Optimum allocation
Greater the difference in the stratum means, greater is the gain in precision of stratified sampling over un-stratified simple random sampling.
![Page 35: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
13
Allocation of Sample size
In proportional Allocation
ni = (n/N)*Ni
Or n1/N1 = n2/N2 ………= nk/Nk = n/N
In optimum allocation ni’s are chosen so as to(a) Maximise the precision for (i) fixed sample
size n or (ii) fixed cost
(b) Minimise the total cost for fixed precision
![Page 36: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
14
Advantages of Stratified Random Sampling
(i) More representative
(ii) Greater accuracy
(iii) Administrative convenience
(iv) Very useful in the fields of highly skewed distributions
![Page 37: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Multistage Sampling
As the name suggests, multistage sampling refers to a
sampling technique, which is carried out in various stages.
Example:
If we are interested in obtaining a sample of households from
rural areas of a particular State, the first stage units may be
districts, the second staged units may be villages in the districts
and third stage units will be households in the villages.
Each stage thus results in a reduction of the sample size.
![Page 38: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Contd….
• Multistage sampling consists of sampling first stage units by
some suitable method of sampling.
• From among the selected first stage units, a sub-sample of
secondary stage units is drawn by some suitable method of
sampling which may be same as or different from the method
used in selecting first stage units.
• Further stages may be added to arrive at a sample of the
desired sampling units.
![Page 39: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Merits and Limitations of Multistage sampling
• Multistage sampling is more flexible as compared to other
methods of sampling.
• It is simple to carry out and results in administrative
convenience by permitting the field work to be concentrated,
yet covering large area.
• Most practical advantage of multistage sampling is that we
need the second stage frame only for those units which are
selected in the first stage sample.
• This leads to great saving in operational cost.
• However, a multistage sampling is generally less efficient
than a suitable single-stage sampling of the same size.
![Page 40: National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012102/6169f84811a7b741a34d6262/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Sampling Design used in Socio-economic Surveys undertaken by NSSO
A stratified multi-stage sampling design is generally used in Socio-economic Surveys undertaken by NSSO.
The first stage units (FSU) are the Census Villages (Panchayat Wards in case of Kerala) in the Rural sector and Urban Frame Survey (UFS) Blocks in the Urban Sector.
The ultimate stage Units (USU) are households in both Rural & Urban Sectors.
In case of large FSUs, one intermediate stage of sampling is done by selecting two hamlet groups/ sub blocks from each of such rural/ urban FSU respectively.

Sample Design - Outline
A stratified multi-stage design will beadopted for the 72nd round survey.
First Stage Units (FSU) –
2011 Census list of villages in the rural sector
Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks (UFS2007-12 Phase) in the urban sector
In case of large FSUs, hamlet-groups (hg’s) inrural areas and sub-blocks (sb’s) in urbanareas will form the intermediate stage units.
The ultimate stage units (USU) will behouseholds in both the sectors.

Total sample size (FSUs)
14088 FSUs are allocated for central sampleat all-India level.
◦ 8016 for Rural Sector
◦ 6072 for Urban Sector

Allocation – central sample
Allocation of total sample to States/UTs:Proportional to State/UT population as perCensus 2011.
A minimum of 16 FSUs (minimum 8 each forrural and urban sectors separately) will beallocated to each State/ UT.
State/ UT level sample size is to be allocatedbetween two sectors in proportion topopulation as per Census 2011 with doubleweightage to urban sector.

Stratification
Within each district of a State/UT, two basicstrata will be formed:
◦ (i) rural stratum comprising all rural areas ofthe district and
◦ (ii) urban stratum comprising all the urbanareas of the district.
Sample Design11

Sub-stratification - Rural
If ‘r’ be the sample size allocated for a ruralstratum, the number of sub-strata formed willbe ‘r/4’.
The villages within a district as per frame willbe first arranged in ascending order ofpopulation.
Then sub-strata 1 to ‘r/4’ will be demarcated insuch a way that each sub-stratum will comprisea group of villages of the arranged frame andhave more or less equal population.

Sub-stratification - Urban
Let, ‘u’ be the sample size allocated for an urbanstratum
‘u/4’ sub-strata will be formed within each stratum
UFS blocks identified as ‘Affluent Area’ within thestratum is made separate sub-strata
Sample Design13

Sub-stratification – Urban (contd.)
if there is no ‘Affluent Area’ block in the stratum, allthe UFS blocks will be divided into ‘u/4’ sub-strata
if only one sub-stratum is formed with the ‘AffluentArea’ blocks, then all the remaining non-affluentblocks will be divided into ‘(u-4)/4’ sub-strata
if two sub-strata are formed with the ‘Affluent Area’blocks, then all the remaining non-affluent blockswill be divided into ‘(u-8)/4’ sub-strata

Sub-stratification – Urban (contd.)
All the UFS blocks within the stratum will be firstarranged in ascending order of total number ofhouseholds in the UFS Blocks as per UFS phase2007-12
Sub-strata will be demarcated in such a way that eachsub-stratum will have more or less equal number ofhouseholds
The above procedure will be followed separately for‘affluent’ and ‘non-affluent’ part of the stratum

Allocation to strata and sub-strata
Allocations at stratum level will be adjusted tomultiples of 4 with a minimum sample size of 4.
For both rural and urban stratum, allocationwill be 4 for each sub-stratum.

Selection of FSUs
Rural sector - Probability Proportional to SizeWith Replacement (PPSWR), size being thepopulation of the villages as per Census 2011.
Urban sector - Probability Proportional to SizeWith Replacement (PPSWR), size being the numberof households of the UFS blocks as per UFS phase2007-12.
Equal number of samples will be allocated amongthe four sub rounds.

Selection of hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks
Formation of hg/sb: By equalizing populationmaintaining geographical contiguity.
Two hg’s/ sb’s will be selected:
• The hg/sb with the largest percentage share ofpopulation will always be selected and termedhg/sb 1;
• one more hg/sb will be selected from theremaining hg’s/sb’s by Simple Random Sampling(SRS) and termed hg/sb 2.
Listing and selection of the households will be doneindependently in the two selected hamlet-groups/sub-blocks.
