FOREWORD
India, in accordance with its federal structure, has created a sound and robust Statistical System, which is largely decentralized with central coordination. Our statistical base has played an important role in decision-making, and has contributed to our planned economic development, since independence. Over the years, the Indian Statistical System has undergone transformation in a considerable measure to meet the emerging data requirement challenges arising out of the globalization and liberalization of our economy. 2. Being the Nodal Ministry on all statistical matters in the country, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, in order to provide up-to-date information concerning the structure and functions of major statistical organizations in the country, has been bringing out a publication entitled: Statistical System In India, from time to time, since 1951 . The last such publication was brought out in 1997. Since then, there have been rapid and extensive structural changes in the statistical system, both at the Centre 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 its credibility, timeliness and adequacy, has added a new dimension to the system. Major steps were taken to invigorate and re-energize our statistical system consequent to the recommendations of National Statistical Commission. The official statistical system is consciously gearing up to adapt itself to the fast-changing environment, particularly in view 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 to meet challenges and the growing and diversified needs of different stakeholders, it is imperative that information on its organizational structure including manpower, etc. be made available at one place, which will be useful for various functionaries in the Governments as well as the public at large to appreciate Statistical System in India in all its complexity. 3. The current publication provides a broad outline of the statistical system as it exists today, including summary information on statistical personnel at various levels in various agencies under the Central Government, State Governments, Union Territories
and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) at the Centre. Although every effort has been made to provide latest available data in respect of statistical manpower at different levels in various agencies, based on the information provided by them, these figures can 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 in the States/UTs. In this publication, an attempt has also been made to include details of 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 are interested in the field of Official Statistics will find this publication convenient and useful in understanding the Indian Statistical System. 4. I take this opportunity to thank all the Central Ministries/Departments, the State Governments/Union Territories, Public Sector Undertakings and various other organizations for their active co-operation in providing the information that has enabled the Ministry to bring out this publication. I also take this opportunity to place on record my 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 up of the country. India has a federal structure of Government. The division of responsibility for administration between the Union Government and the State Governments is on the basis of three-fold classification of all subjects, namely, the Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List. The last category represents the areas where both the Union and State Governments can operate. The subject Statistics is in this list. There is a further division of responsibility, by subjects or groups of subjects, among the different Ministries/Departments of the Union Government and among the Departments of State Governments, on the basis of their administrative functions. In accordance with this structure, the Indian Statistical System is largely decentralised with elements of central supervision. All-India large-scale statistical operations, such as Population Census, Economic Census, Agricultural Census and Livestock Census, and nation-wide sample surveys, including the Annual Survey of Industries and the Socio-Economic Surveys, as well as compilation of macro-economic aggregates like national accounts, All-India Price Indices and industrial production, are mainly Central activities, with substantial involvement of State agencies in data collection. The State Governments and statistical organisations of the States also collect and generate data on a number of variables. The Central Government acts as the coordinating agency for presentation of statistics on an all-India basis even in fields where the States have the primary authority and responsibility for collection of statistics. The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is the nodal agency for all statistical activities at all-India level. The State Directorates of Economics and Statistics (DESs) carry out the responsibility of coordination of all statistical activities at the State level and keeping liaison with the MOSPI for the purpose of coordination at all-India level, and for maintaining norms and standards in the field of official statistics. Statistical System at the Centre The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is the nodal agency for planning and facilitating the integrated development of the statistical system in the country, and to lay down norms & standards in the field of official statistics, evolving concepts, definitions, classification and methodologies of data collection, processing and release of results. The Ministry has two wings, one relating to Statistics and the other is Programme Implementation. The Statistics Wing called National Statistical Organisation (NSO) consists of the Central Statistical Office (CSO), the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), and the Computer Centre. The Programme Implementation Wing has four Divisions, namely, Twenty Point Programme Division, Infrastructure Monitoring Division, Project Monitoring Division, and Member of Parliament Local Area Development Division. The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), which is a premier statistical institute, receives budgetary support from the MOSPI.
xiii
CSO The CSO, headed by a Director General, consists of four Divisions, namely, the National Accounts Division (NAD), the Economic Statistics Division (ESD), the Social Statistics Division (SSD) and the Training Division. The CSO has an Industrial Statistics Wing, namely, the CSO-IS Wing, which is located at Kolkata. The Central Statistical Office is responsible for coordination of statistical activities in the country, and for evolving and maintaining statistical standards. Its activities include National Income Accounting; conduct of Annual Survey of Industries, Economic Censuses and its follow up surveys, compilation of Index of Industrial Production, as well as Consumer Price Indices, Gender Statistics, imparting training on Official Statistics, Five Year Plan work relating to Development of Statistics in the States and Union Territories; 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 with requisite independence and autonomy in the matter of collection, processing and publication of NSS data. In addition to the non-official Chairman, the Steering Committee is composed of academicians, data users from Central and State Government departments and senior officers of the Ministry. The NSSO is headed by the Director General and Chief Executive Officer (DG&CEO), who is also the Member-Secretary of the 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 of Economic Census, sample checks on area enumeration and crop estimation surveys and prepares the urban frames useful in drawing of urban samples, besides collection of price data from rural and urban sectors. The major activities of the NSSO pertain to Survey Design, Field Operations, Processing of data collected and releasing of the results based on surveys. Computer Centre: The Computer Centre handles the data processing jobs of the MOSPI, provides training to statistical personnel on software, maintain the MOSPIs website and the National Data Warehouse of Official Statistics. Coordination and Administration Division(CAD): This Division is responsible for coordination for the National Statistical Office with its two attached offices viz. the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). It is also responsible for coordination with State Governments/ State statistical agencies. National Statistical Commission(NSC): Through the Government of India st Resolution of 1 June 2005, Government has set up a Commission, namely, the National Statistical Commission (NSC) consisting of a part-time Chairperson, and four part-time Members, one each from the fields of economic statistics, social and environment statistics, censuses and surveys, and national accounts and state statistical systems.
xiv
The Secretary, Planning Commission is also a Member in ex-officio capacity. The Chief Statistician of India serves as the Secretary to the NSC. The mandate of the NSC is to serve as a nodal and empowered body for all core statistical activities of the country, to evolve, monitor and enforce statistical priorities and standards and to ensure statistical coordination. Legal Support for Collection of Data: The Central Governments Allocation of Business Rules, 1961 (as amended from time to time) provides for the roles and responsibilities of the MOSPI. The main Statistics Act under which data is collected by the MOSPI is the Collection of Statistics Act, 2008". The other most important Act for collection of statistics on demographic aspects of population is the Population Census Act 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 various administrative agencies on their subjects, through which statutory returns are collected by these Ministries/Departments. Central Ministries / Departments: Besides the NSO at the Centre, most of the Ministries / Departments of the Government of India have either statistical divisions or statistical cells for all the statistical activities of the Ministry / Department. These Divisions / Cells are mostly manned by officers belonging to two organised Central Services- the Indian Statistical Service (ISS) and the Subordinate Statistical Service (SSS). The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is the Cadre Controlling Authority for both these Services, which provides another layer of coordination. Furthermore, these Statistical Divisions/Cells are headed by senior level statistical functionaries of the ISS at 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 as the nodal agencies for coordination of all statistical activities in the States/UTs. While most of the States / UTs have been formally declared by the State Governments as the Nodal Agencies on all statistical activities, a few though not yet formally declared, act as coordinating agency on statistical matters in the State/UT. Most of the States / UTs have District Statistical Offices (DSOs) which act as the field offices of the DESs for collection / compilation of statistical data in the districts. The DESs perform almost the same functions in the States / UTs as the NSO at the Centre viz. bringing out some key statistics, coordination with the Central and State statistical agencies, dissemination of statistics, etc.

Statistical System in India 2009
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 countrys 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 countrys 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
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 200506 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: All India Report on Agriculture Census All India Report on Input Survey All India Report on Number and Area of Operational Holdings. The statistical staff in position in the Agriculture Census Division of the Department is as under: Professional Intermediate Primary Total 1.01.02 : : : : 4 3 2 9
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
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. Cost Study Division
(iii)
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
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. JulyJune. 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
each District of the State. In total 17 States are covered for collection of data on agricultural wages. Statistics relating to wages paid to different types of agricultural and skilled rural labour at selected centres are collected and compiled by the Division. Based on the activities of various Divisions, the Directorate brings out the following publications: District -wise Area, Production and yield. District-wise land Use Statistics. State-wise Land Use Statistics. Agricultural Statistics at a Glance. Farm Harvest Prices of Principal Crops. Agricultural Prices in India. Agricultural Wages in India.

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.

In addition, the Department has been entrusted with the work of maintaining the Central Database Management System (CDBMS), a state-of-the-art data-repository based on the latest data warehousing technology. Regional Offices of the Department located at Chennai, Kolkata, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Lucknow form the support system for the data collection mechanism of the Department. These offices play a major role in collection, editing and compiling data pertaining to banking, corporate, balance of payments, foreign exchange and other statistics covering the regions under the respective jurisdictions. Periodically, they are conducting workshops on BSR, FETRS etc., for the bankers under their jurisdiction. These Offices are also taking leading role in IT advancements.
