FOREWORD
India, in accordance with its federal structure, has created a sound and robustStatistical System, which is largely decentralized with central coordination. Our statisticalbase has played an important role in decision-making, and has contributed to ourplanned economic development, since independence. Over the years, the IndianStatistical System has undergone transformation in a considerable measure to meetthe emerging data requirement challenges arising out of the globalization andliberalization of our economy.
2. Being the Nodal Ministry on all statistical matters in the country, the Ministry ofStatistics and Programme Implementation, in order to provide up-to-date informationconcerning the structure and functions of major statistical organizations in the country,has been bringing out a publication entitled: ‘Statistical System In India’, from time totime, since 1951 . The last such publication was brought out in 1997. Since then, therehave been rapid and extensive structural changes in the statistical system, both at theCentre and in the States/UTs. Constitution of National Statistical Commission (NSC),with the mandate to revamp the entire statistical system in the country to improve itscredibility, timeliness and adequacy, has added a new dimension to the system. Majorsteps were taken to invigorate and re-energize our statistical system consequent to therecommendations of National Statistical Commission. The official statistical system isconsciously gearing up to adapt itself to the fast-changing environment, particularly inview of the Government emphasis on engaging citizens’ directly in governance reforms.In such a scenario, as the Indian Statistical System grows in size and complexity tomeet challenges and the growing and diversified needs of different stakeholders, it isimperative that information on its organizational structure including manpower, etc. bemade available at one place, which will be useful for various functionaries in theGovernments as well as the public at large to appreciate Statistical System in India inall its complexity.
3. The current publication provides a broad outline of the statistical system as itexists today, including summary information on statistical personnel at various levels invarious agencies under the Central Government, State Governments, Union Territories

and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) at the Centre. Although every effort has beenmade to provide latest available data in respect of statistical manpower at differentlevels in various agencies, based on the information provided by them, these figurescan only be of an indicative nature. A unique and distinct feature of this publication,unlike the previous issues, is that it describes the statistical set up that is prevailing inthe States/UTs. In this publication, an attempt has also been made to include detailsof publications being brought out by various agencies under the Central Government,States/UTs and PSUs as also major statistical activities. It is hoped that all who areinterested in the field of Official Statistics will find this publication convenient anduseful in understanding the Indian Statistical System.
4. I take this opportunity to thank all the Central Ministries/Departments, the StateGovernments/Union Territories, Public Sector Undertakings and various otherorganizations for their active co-operation in providing the information that has enabledthe Ministry to bring out this publication. I also take this opportunity to place on recordmy deep appreciation for all Officers of Coordination and Administration Division (CAD)for their untiring efforts to make this publication as comprehensive as possible.

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN STATISTICAL SYSTEM
The Indian Statistical System functions within the overall administrative set upof the country. India has a federal structure of Government. The division of responsibilityfor administration between the Union Government and the State Governments is onthe basis of three-fold classification of all subjects, namely, the Union List, the StateList, and the Concurrent List. The last category represents the areas where both theUnion and State Governments can operate. The subject Statistics is in this list. Thereis a further division of responsibility, by subjects or groups of subjects, among thedifferent Ministries/Departments of the Union Government and among the Departmentsof State Governments, on the basis of their administrative functions.
In accordance with this structure, the Indian Statistical System is largelydecentralised with elements of central supervision. All-India large-scale statisticaloperations, such as Population Census, Economic Census, Agricultural Census andLivestock Census, and nation-wide sample surveys, including the Annual Survey ofIndustries and the Socio-Economic Surveys, as well as compilation of macro-economicaggregates like national accounts, All-India Price Indices and industrial production, aremainly Central activities, with substantial involvement of State agencies in data collection.The State Governments and statistical organisations of the States also collect andgenerate data on a number of variables.
The Central Government acts as the coordinating agency for presentation ofstatistics on an all-India basis even in fields where the States have the primary authorityand responsibility for collection of statistics. The Ministry of Statistics and ProgrammeImplementation is the nodal agency for all statistical activities at all-India level. TheState Directorates of Economics and Statistics (DESs) carry out the responsibility ofcoordination of all statistical activities at the State level and keeping liaison with theMOSPI for the purpose of coordination at all-India level, and for maintaining normsand standards in the field of official statistics.
Statistical System at the Centre
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is the nodal agencyfor planning and facilitating the integrated development of the statistical system in thecountry, and to lay down norms & standards in the field of official statistics, evolvingconcepts, definitions, classification and methodologies of data collection, processingand release of results. The Ministry has two wings, one relating to Statistics and theother is Programme Implementation. The Statistics Wing called National StatisticalOrganisation (NSO) consists of the Central Statistical Office (CSO), the National SampleSurvey Office (NSSO), and the Computer Centre. The Programme ImplementationWing has four Divisions, namely, Twenty Point Programme Division, InfrastructureMonitoring Division, Project Monitoring Division, and Member of Parliament Local AreaDevelopment Division. The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), which is a premier statisticalinstitute, receives budgetary support from the MOSPI.
xiii
CSO The CSO, headed by a Director General, consists of four Divisions, namely, theNational Accounts Division (NAD), the Economic Statistics Division (ESD), the SocialStatistics Division (SSD) and the Training Division. The CSO has an Industrial StatisticsWing, namely, the CSO-IS Wing, which is located at Kolkata.
The Central Statistical Office is responsible for coordination of statistical activitiesin the country, and for evolving and maintaining statistical standards. Its activitiesinclude National Income Accounting; conduct of Annual Survey of Industries, EconomicCensuses and its follow up surveys, compilation of Index of Industrial Production, aswell as Consumer Price Indices, Gender Statistics, imparting training on Official Statistics,Five Year Plan work relating to Development of Statistics in the States and UnionTerritories; dissemination of statistical information, work relating to trade, energy,construction, and environment statistics, revision of National Industrial Classification,etc.
NSSO: The NSSO functions under the overall direction of a Steering Committee withrequisite independence and autonomy in the matter of collection, processing andpublication of NSS data. In addition to the non-official Chairman, the Steering Committeeis composed of academicians, data users from Central and State Governmentdepartments and senior officers of the Ministry. The NSSO is headed by the DirectorGeneral and Chief Executive Officer (DG&CEO), who is also the Member-Secretary ofthe Steering Committee.
The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) carries out socio-economic surveys,undertakes field work for the Annual Survey of Industries and follow-up surveys ofEconomic Census, sample checks on area enumeration and crop estimation surveysand prepares the urban frames useful in drawing of urban samples, besides collectionof price data from rural and urban sectors. The major activities of the NSSO pertain toSurvey Design, Field Operations, Processing of data collected and releasing of theresults based on surveys.
Computer Centre: The Computer Centre handles the data processing jobs of theMOSPI, provides training to statistical personnel on software, maintain the MOSPI’swebsite and the National Data Warehouse of Official Statistics.
Coordination and Administration Division(CAD): This Division is responsiblefor coordination for the National Statistical Office with its two attached offices viz. theCentral Statistical Office (CSO) and National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). It is alsoresponsible for coordination with State Governments/ State statistical agencies.
National Statistical Commission(NSC): Through the Government of IndiaResolution of 1st June 2005, Government has set up a Commission, namely, the NationalStatistical Commission (NSC) consisting of a part-time Chairperson, and four part-timeMembers, one each from the fields of economic statistics, social and environmentstatistics, censuses and surveys, and national accounts and state statistical systems.
xiv
The Secretary, Planning Commission is also a Member in ex-officio capacity. The ChiefStatistician of India serves as the Secretary to the NSC. The mandate of the NSC is toserve as a nodal and empowered body for all core statistical activities of the country, toevolve, monitor and enforce statistical priorities and standards and to ensure statisticalcoordination.
Legal Support for Collection of Data: The Central Government’s Allocation ofBusiness Rules, 1961 (as amended from time to time) provides for the roles andresponsibilities of the MOSPI. The main Statistics Act under which data is collected bythe MOSPI is the ‘Collection of Statistics Act, 2008". The other most important Act forcollection of statistics on demographic aspects of population is the ‘Population CensusAct 1948’, which is administered by the Office of the Registrar General of India,functioning under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Besides these two important Acts,there are a number of Acts, Rules and Procedures being administered by variousadministrative agencies on their subjects, through which statutory returns are collectedby these Ministries/Departments.
Central Ministries / Departments: Besides the NSO at the Centre, most of theMinistries / Departments of the Government of India have either statistical divisions orstatistical cells for all the statistical activities of the Ministry / Department. These Divisions /Cells are mostly manned by officers belonging to two organised Central Services- theIndian Statistical Service (ISS) and the Subordinate Statistical Service (SSS). The Ministryof Statistics and Programme Implementation is the Cadre Controlling Authority for boththese Services, which provides another layer of coordination. Furthermore, theseStatistical Divisions/Cells are headed by senior level statistical functionaries of the ISSat the JAG / SAG level for effective coordination with NSO.
Statistical System in the States / UTs
The Directorates of Economics and Statistics (DESs) in the States / UTs act asthe nodal agencies for coordination of all statistical activities in the States/UTs. Whilemost of the States / UTs have been formally declared by the State Governments as theNodal Agencies on all statistical activities, a few though not yet formally declared, actas coordinating agency on statistical matters in the State/UT. Most of the States / UTshave District Statistical Offices (DSOs) which act as the field offices of the DESs forcollection / compilation of statistical data in the districts. The DESs perform almost thesame functions in the States / UTs as the NSO at the Centre viz. bringing out some keystatistics, coordination with the Central and State statistical agencies, dissemination ofstatistics, etc.

1. MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE
The Ministry of Agriculture is broadly responsible for formulation and implementation
of National policies and programmes aimed at achieving rapid agricultural growth through
optimum utilization of the country’s land, water, soil and plant resources; coordination and
promotion of agricultural research & education in the country, and; all matters relating to
livestock production, preservation, protection from diseases and improvement of stocks and
dairy development, and also all matters pertaining to fishing and fisheries. The Ministry consists
of three departments viz. Department of Agriculture and Cooperation; Department of Animal
Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, and; Department of Agricultural Research and Education
(DARE). Each department has its own statistical set-up.
1.01 Department of Agriculture and Cooperation
The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is responsible for the formulation and
implementation of National policies and programmes aimed at achieving rapid agricultural
growth through optimum utilization of the country’s land, water, soil and plant resources. The
Department undertakes all possible measures to ensure timely and adequate supply of inputs
and services such as fertilizers, seeds pesticides, agricultural implements and also provides
agricultural credit, crops insurance and ensures remunerative returns to the farmer for his
agricultural produce. The Department is entrusted with the responsibility of collection and
maintenance of a wide range of statistical and economic data relating to agriculture, required
for development planning, organizing agricultural census, assisting and advising the States in
undertaking scarcity relief measures and in management of natural calamities e.g. flood,
drought, cyclone, etc. Matters relating to formulation of overall cooperative policy in the country,
national cooperative organizations, cooperative training and education come under the purview
of the Department.
Various subject matter Divisions / Directorates / Commission of the department have
their own statistical set up and activities as follows:
1.01.01 Agriculture Census Division
The Agriculture Census Division of the department, established in 1969-70 and headed
by a Joint Secretary, is mainly responsible for organizing the quinquennial agricultural census
and input surveys in the country in collaboration with the State Agricultural Census Units.
There are two main statistical activities of the Division- one is Agriculture Census and
another is Input Survey. These two surveys are conducted after five years interval. The
Agriculture Census forms part of the broader system of collection of Agriculture Statistics. It is
a large –scale statistical operation for the collection and derivation of quantitative information
about the structure of agriculture in the country. As operational holding is the ultimate unit for
taking decision for development of Agriculture at micro level, it is for this reason that an
operational holding and not an ownership holding is taken as the statistical unit of data collection
Statistical System in India 2009

for describing the structure of agriculture. In Agriculture Census, aggregation of data is done
at various levels of administrative units, like, Tehsil/Taluk/Block, District and State.
So far seven Agriculture Censuses from 1970-71 and six Input Surveys since 1976-77
have been completed at five yearly intervals. The field work for Eighth Agriculture Census 2005-
06 and Seventh Input Survey 2006-07 in most of the States has been completed and compilation/
validation of data work is in progress.
The Division brings out the following three publications after the quinquennial surveys
of Agriculture Census and Input Surveys are over:
Ø All India Report on Agriculture Census
Ø All India Report on Input Survey
Ø All India Report on Number and Area of Operational Holdings.

1.01.02 Directorate of Economics and Statistics
The Directorate of Economics and Statistics (DES), an attached office of the Department
of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC), is headed by Economic & Statistical Adviser. It is entrusted
with the responsibility of collection, collation, dissemination and publication of statistical data
on diverse facets of agriculture and allied sectors, required for planning and policy formulation
by the Government. Various Divisions of the Directorate are headed by officers of SAG level
and supported by officers/staff at various levels. Various Divisions of the Directorate and the
brief on their activities is described hereunder.
(i) Agricultural Statistics Division
As Division of the Directorate of Economics & Statistics maintains State-wise estimates
of area, production and yield of 44 principal crops (27 major and 17 minor). These estimates
are available under the two broad seasons of kharif and rabi. The estimates are updated annually
in the month of February/March after release of final estimates of area, production and yield
of the preceding agricultural year. This Division also carries out an exercise relating to demand
and supply projections of foodgrains and oilseeds and other commercial crops.
(ii) Agricultural Statistics Improvement Division
The Division implements the scheme of “Improvement of Agricultural Statistics (IAS)”.
The basic objective of IAS Scheme is to collect and improve the quality of agricultural statistics
Statistical System in India 2009
5
of principal agricultural and horticultural crops. From 2007-08, the scheme is converted to
Central Sector Scheme from Centrally Sponsored Scheme, and is funded 100% by the Centre.
The scheme has four components as given below:
• Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS): Under this component timely and reliable estimates
of area under principal crops for each of the agricultural seasons are generated on the
basis of complete enumeration of 20% villages selected randomly, within a specific
time frame. TRS is implemented in 16 land record States namely, Andhra Pradesh, Assam,
Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Jharkhand
and Chattisgarh and two Union Territories namely, Delhi and Puducherry. Implementing
States provide break-up of area under irrigated/un-irrigated and High Yielding Varieties
(HYVs). Agricultural Statistics division does compilation of data.
• Improvement of Crop Statistics (ICS): The objective of ICS component is to improve
the quality of statistics on area and production of crops through checking and supervision
of the work of (a) Area enumeration, (b) Area aggregation and (c) Crop Cutting
Experiments (CCE). Under the component 10,000 villages are covered, equally shared
by Central Agency (NSSO) and State machinery, every year. About 30,000 CCEs are
checked every year. ICS component is implemented in all the TRS States except Delhi.
Agricultural Statistics wing of NSSO does compilation of data.
• Establishment of an Agency for Reporting of Agricultural Statistics (EARAS): EARAS is
implemented in three non-land record States namely, Kerala, Orissa and West Bengal
and four North Eastern States namely, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura.
In the absence of any Government Department for the regular updation of land records
in these States, full time agency for collection of statistics of area, production and yield
rate has been established in each of the implementing States. The basic methodology
under this component is the same as in TRS.
• Crop Estimation Survey on Fruits & Vegetables (CES-F&V). Under CES-F&V, 11 States
are covered and 7 fruit crops (Apple, Mango, Citrus, Pineapple, Grapes, Banana and
Guava), 5 Vegetable crops (Potato, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Onion and Tomato) and 2
spice crops (Ginger and Turmeric) are covered. Under the component, estimates of
area, production and yield rate for the crops covered by respective States are generated
on the basis of enumeration of area and conduct of Crop Cutting Experiments following
multi stage stratified sampling techniques.
(iii) Cost Study Division
Cost Study Division implements “Comprehensive Scheme for Studying the Cost of
Cultivation of Principal Crops in India”, which is one of the five components under Umbrella
Scheme “Studies on Inputs for Agricultural Economic Policy and Development”. Under the
scheme cost data on principal agricultural crops grown across India is compiled to generate
state-wise and crop-wise Cost of Cultivation and Cost of Production estimates of principal
Statistical System in India 2009

crops. The costs are calculated for the crops such as, Barley, Gram, Jute, Lentil, Peas, Rapeseed
& Mustard, Safflower, Sugarcane, Wheat, Arhar (Tur), Bajra, Coconut, Cotton, Groundnut, Jowar,
Maize, Moong, Nigerseed, Onion, Paddy, Potato, Ragi, Seasamum, Soyabean, Sunflower, Tapioca,
Urad, VFC Tobacco.
The prime mandate of this division is to supply cost estimates of different crops to
Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) to enable them to make suitable
recommendations on Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) of 24 agricultural commodities, namely
Paddy, Jowar, Bajra, Maize, Ragi, Arhar (Tur), Moong, Urad, Cotton, Goundnut, Sunflower seed,
Soyabean, Sesamum, Nigerseed, Wheat, Barley, Gram, Masur (Lentil), Rapeseed & Mustard,
Safflower, Copra, Jute, Sugarcane and Tobacco to the Government of India.
The 16 Agricultural/general Universities/Colleges and the Directorate of Tobacco
Development, through which the scheme is implemented, collect the primary data on Cost of
Cultivation in the states: Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh,
Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Uttar
Pradesh, West Bengal, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttranchal.
(iv) Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS) Division
The work of Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS) Division relates mainly to
collection and compilation of State and District wise data on Land Use Statistics (LUS) and
Area, Production and Yield data. Besides these, SDDS Division also computes data on quarterly
production of selected crops on the basis of advance estimates of production and also generates
report for CSO.
(v) Prices and Markets Division
• Agricultural Prices: The Division collects data on Wholesale Prices, Retail Prices, Farm
Harvest Prices and Market Arrivals of selected agricultural commodities from all over
India. Weekly wholesale prices of 154 agricultural commodities are collected from
around 600 selected markets/centres. The Division also collects weekly retail prices of
45 food items and monthly retail prices of 43 non-food items from 87 selected markets/
centres covering 32 States and UTs. The prices are collected for week on each Friday. It
also collects farm harvest prices for 26 principal crops from all major States and 5 UTs
annually. The prices of 14 essential commodities viz. rice, wheat, atta, gram dal, tur
dal, sugar, groundnut oil, mustard oil, vanaspati, tea, milk, potato, onion, and salt are
collected and monitored by the Department of Consumer Affairs.
• Agricultural Wages: Agricultural wages constitute one of the major items of cost of
production of various crops. Consequently, data on agricultural wages prevailing in the
selected villages /centres, spread over the length and breadth of the country, is collected
by DES on the monthly basis. The wage data relate to the agricultural year, i.e. July-
June. The wages are paid in both cash and kind. Money value of the wages paid in kind
is added to get the total wage. Such information on prevailing wages is collected from

fine natural harbour. The Port was declared a Major Port in December 1963. The Port is the
premier iron ore exporting Port of India with an annual throughput of around 27.33 million
tonnes of iron ore traffic. Though ore is the predominant cargo, there has been a steady increase
in liquid bulk and general cargo traffic ever since its joining the ranks of the Major Ports of
India. Excellent facilities, high productivity, streamlined administration and a dedicated
workforce all go towards making this Port one of the most efficient Port in Indian subcontinent.

Planning & Research Department was created in the Port on 21.2.1970. Now the port has a
full-fledged department of Planning & Research under a head of the Department as prescribed
in the Major Port Trust Act, 1963. The broad functions entrusted to this department are planning
and formulation of annual and five year plans; appraisal, evaluation and monitoring the progress
of plan schemes, etc.; evolving and implementing management information systems, including
maintenance of statistical data banks, for retrieval of information; conducting research studies
on port operators, economies and management; analysis of traffic, forecasting and trade
promotion, including publicity and public relations; work study covering method study, job
evaluation, organizational analysis, work measurement, layout planning, etc; manpower
planning and development; development and running in-house training center for all
categories/level of employees; maintenance of records of the Organisation on systematic basis,
retrieving records on demand from the concerned department and maintenance of Micro
filming of records, etc.
The Planning & Research Department has since been converted into a full fledged

53. RESERVE BANK OF INDIA
The Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 sets out the objectives of the Reserve Bank: ‘to
regulate the issue of Bank notes and the keeping of reserves with a view to securing monetary
stability in India and generally to operate the currency and credit system of the country to its
advantage’. The formulation, framework and institutional architecture of monetary policy in
India have evolved around these objectives-maintaining price stability, ensuring adequate flow
of credit to sustain the growth momentum, and securing financial stability. The responsibility
for ensuring financial stability has entailed the vesting of extensive powers in and operational
objectives for the Reserve Bank for regulation and supervision of the financial system and its
constituents, the money, debt and foreign exchange segments of the financial markets in India
and the payment and settlement system. In addition, the Reserve Bank pursues operational
objectives in the context of its core function of issuance of bank notes and currency management
as well as its agency functions such as banker to Government (Centre and States) and
management of public debt; banker to the banking system including regulation of bank reserves
and the lender of the last resort. Regulation, supervision and development of the financial
system remain within the legitimate ambit of monetary policy broadly interpreted in India.
