Write a short note on NSSO and census of India?
Dear Student,
National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) is the largest and a very prominent agency of India working for the collection of data on various economic variables such as education,health,literacy rates, etc. This organisation works under Ministry of Statistics of India with the purpose of providing information regarding various economic aspects to all the people of the country,especially to the policy makers and planners of India. The information provided by NSSO helps in framing the future policies needed for the growth of the economy. The statistical data generated by NSSO is very reliable as the the data is collected by conducting the surveys covering almost all the population of India.
Census of India is responsible for the collection of data related to different demographic characteristics. Data is collected for characteristics such as birth rate, fertility rate, mortality rate, size and composition of the population etc. The information related to all aspects of the population are collected by the investigators appointed by the government. They collect information from each and every household of the country. In India, this exercise is carried after every 10 years. The data collected by the Census of India acts as a mirror for assessing the impact of various programmes and development policies initiated by the government. It also helps in identifying the improvement areas and making the future policy. The first census was conducted in the year 1872 in India and next in 1881.
