Economic Data on India: Ministry of Statistics
THE Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation consists of two wings namely:Statistics Wing and Programme Implementation Wing. The Ministry is the apex body in the official statistical system of the country. It is the authority that controls the Indian Statistical Service (ISS) and Subordinate Statistical Service (SSS). It is also the Administrative Ministry for the Indian Statistical Institute, an autonomous registered scientific society of national importance. The Ministry includes, inter-alia, the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO).
INDIAN STATISTICAL SYSTEM (ISS)
India has a federal structure of Government and the Indian Statistics System functions within the overall administrative set up of the country. 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 Concurrent list represents the subjects where both the Union and State Governments can operate, and it includes the subject Statistics. Three is a further division of responsibility, by subjects of groups of subjects, among the different Ministries/Departments of thee Union Government and among the Departments of State Governments, on the basis of their administrative functions.
The Indian Statistics System, therefore, may be treated as both decentralized and centralized system. For example, the large-scale Statistics operations conducted all over the country like Population Census, Economic Census, Agricultural Census and Livestock Census, as well as nation-wide sample surveys including the Annual Survey of Industries and the Socio-economic surveys is the responsibility or Central agencies.
Similarly, compilation of national accounts, preparation of all-India Prices and Industrial production indices are also Central activities. In the case of States, the State statistics. Similarly, compilation of national accounts, preparation of all- India Prices and Industrial production indices are also Central activities. In the case of States, the State statistics Organizations 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 State Directorates of Economics and Statistics (DESs) carry out the responsibility of coordination of all statistics activities at the State level and keeping liaison with the MOSPI for the purpose of maintaining uniformity and consistency in the data produced and consolidated different levels.
CENTRAL STATISTICAL OFFICE (CSO)
The Central Statistical Office is responsible for coordination of Statistical activities in the country, and evolving and maintaining statistical. Its activities mainly include National Income accounting; conduct of Economic Census and its follow up surveys, processing of data collected through Annual Survey of Industries and preparation of Reports, compilation of Index of Industrial Production, as well as Consumer price Indices, Gender Statistics, and imparting training on Official Statistics. CSO brings out a number of publications periodically including Statistical Year Book earlier known as Statistical Abstract, Monthly Statistical Abstract, and India in Figures-A Ready Reference, Energy Statistics, Environment Statistics besides disseminating statistical information to various national and international agencies.
The other activities include preparation of Five Year Plan and Annual Plans, holding conferences with the Central and State statistical agencies, revision of National Industrial Classification, preparation and implementation of Strategic Plans to make available data on key parameters, to improve the quality and reliability of existing data sets, to make available new data sets on emerging fields to meet increasing data demands, and to reduce time lag in dissemination of data.

It provides statistical information to objectively and realistically assess and evaluate the change in the growth, composition and structure of the organised manufacturing sector. This sector comprises activities related to manufacturing processes, repair services, generation, transmission, etc., of electricity, gas and water supply and cold storage.
The survey is conducted annually under the statutory provisions of the Collection of Statistics Act, 1953. The ASI extends to the entire country except the States of Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Sikkim and the Union Territory of Lakshadweep. It covers all factories registered under Sections 2m(i) and 2m(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948. The survey also covers bidi and cigar manufacturing establishments registered under the Bidi and Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act, 1966.

These factories have provided gainful employment to Rs.1,13,27,485 persons and distributed Rs. 1,29,44,123 Lakhs as emoluments to employees.
ENERGY STATISTICS 2011
Energy sector is one of the most important basic infrastructure sectors, for any country. Proper energy planning is essential for achieving energy security. Every country has to formulate its policy to optimize the use of different energy soures for meeting the demands of its households, agricultural industrial and commercial sectors. This necessitates an integrated and updated database of the production and consumption of different energy sources viz., coal, crude, petroleum, natural gas and electricity.
The CSO brings out an annual publication "Energy Statistics" incorporating data on reserves, installed capacity, potential for generation, production, consumption, import, export and wholesale price of different energy commodities as available from the concerned line Ministries of the Government of India. "Energy Statistic 2011", is the 18th issue in the series. The objective of this publication is to meet the information needs of national and international policy markers, administrators and researchers concerned with the energy sector.
Energy Statistics 2011 contains information on the reserves, installed capaity, production, consumption, foreign trade, etc. to give a holistic view of all energy resources, The publication has also brought energy commodity balance which provides sector wise production and consumption for the last two years. To improve the unity of the publication, various indicators viz. growth rates, compound annual growth rates, percentage distributions, have been provided in relevant tables. For the first time analytical highlights on the performance of the sector has also been brought out.

INFRASTRUCTURE STATISTICS - 2010
Infrastructure Statistics is one of the most important sector for any country. Given the crucial role of infrastructure in promoting inclusive and sustainable socioeconomic development, quality infrastructure statistics is very much essential for informed decision making in many spheres, the important ones being the following:
(i) Planning and policy making
Quality statistics are essential for effective planning, monitoring and evaluation of infrastructure projects and for optimal allocation of scarce resources among the competing projects to achieve the desired plan objectives of inclusive and sustainable economic development.
(ii) Business promotion
Decisions regarding industrial diversification to new areas and new markets and investment in infrastructure are to be based on up-to-date and reliable micro-level and macro-level data. Business houses can get these data either through the conduct of specialized surveys, which re very costly, or from the existing data sources of the Government, research institutions, business associations, etc.

(iii) Research and development
Research and development organizations dealing with and interested in infrastructure, require exhaustive data pertaining to all aspects of infrastructure. They need both micro-level and macro-level data on the structural and performance aspects of infrastructure for analyzing the problems and drawing meaningful conclusions.
(iv) Public awareness
Public Infrastructure is generally created, maintained and provided by the government: central, state or local bodies, although in recent years Public Private Partnerships (PPP) of different types are coming up in these areas. Infrastructure items are public goods and every citizen should have access to these without any discrimination on any ground. Further, these are required to be of admissible quality and need to be provided at costs affordable by the consumers, particularly the poor and vulnerable sections of the society. A well maintained, disseminated and easily accessible infrastructure data base enables the general public to secure the desired information for claiming their rights, for protesting about the mismanagement, corruption, nepotism in the provision of infrastructure services. It also helps the general public in framing up their infrastructure service requirements.
The first issue Infrastructure Statistics 2010 has been finalized and uploaded in MOSPI Web-site by the Economic Statistics Division, Ministry of Statisties and Programme Implementation (MoS&PI) on the basis of the characteristics recommended activities needs to be evolved immediately by the respective authorities in consultation with the MoS&PI.
Presently six broad sectors of Infrastructure viz. Transport, Energy, Irrigation, Communication, Sanitation & Water Supply and Storage with a total of 17 sub sectors are covered in the publication. For these sectors /sub sectors effort has been made to commpile data on major indicators such as accessibility, affordability, quality and fiscal cost.
Analytical highlights on the performance of Infrastructure Statistics have also been brought out. The objective of this publication is to meet the information needs of national and international policy makers, administrators and researchers concerned with the infrastructure.
INFRACTRUCTURE AND PROJECT MONITORING
The Infrastructure and Project Monitoring Division (IPMD) in the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is monitoring the performance of the country’s eleven key infrastructure sectors, namely, Power, Coal, Railways, Shipping and Ports, Telecommunications, Fertilizers, Cement, Petroleum & Roads and Civil Aviation. It prepares and submits monthly Review Reports and Capsule Reports on the performance of infrastructure sectors, inter-alia, to the Prime Minister office, and the Cabinet Secretariat.

TWENTY POINT PROGRAMME
The Twenty Point Programme (TPP) was conceived with the objective of improving the quality of life of the people, especially those living below the poverty line. It is meant to give a thrust to schemes relating to poverty alleviation, employment generation in rural areas, housing, education, family welfare & health, protection of environment and many other schemes having a bearing on the quality of life, especially in the rural areas. The programme, initiated in the year 1975 was restructured in 1982, 1986 and in 2006. The restructured programme, known as Twenty Point Programme (TPP) – 2006, became operational with effect from 1st April, 2007.
TWENTY POINT PROGRAMME(TPP) – 2006
Twenty Point Programme (TPP)-2006 originally consisted of 20 points and 66 items being monitored individually by Central Nodal Ministries concerned. One of the 66 items viz. "Sompoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY)" has since been merged with another item namely "National Rural Employment Guarantee Act" with effect from 1st April, 2008, which has now been renamed as "Mahatama Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act" (MGNREGA) w.e.f. 31stDecember, 2009, therefore SGRY was dropped from the list of 66 items under TPP-2006. The list of 65 items is given is to be 6.13.
From April, 2009, under 'Food Supply' Allocation and Off-take of food grains for Below Poverty Line (BPL) population is being individually monitored in addition to separate monitoring of Allocation and Off-take of food grains under Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) and Antyodaya Anna Yojna. Of the 65 items, 20 items, (34 parameters) were monitored monthly during 2010-11 on the basis of the monthly progress report in respect of these items supplied by various States/Union Territories (for 16 items) and the Central Nodal Ministries (for 4 items).

MONITORING DESIGN FOR TPP- 2006
The monitoring mechanism for TPP-2006 has been widened by including block level monitoring in addition to District, State and Central level monitoring. Most of the States/Union Territories have constituted the block, district and state level monitoring committees. At the Centre, the progress of individual items is monitored and reviewed by the Departments/Ministries concerned and the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MOSPI) monitors the Programme/ Schemes covered under TPP-2006 on the basis of monthly performance reports received from State Governments/UT Adminstrations and Central Nodal Ministries. The Monitoring Guidelines of TPP-2006 are again under revision.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (MIS)
The Management Information System (MIS) consists of Monthly Progress Report (MPR) for monthly monitored items based on information received from States/ UTs and Central Ministries concerned. The Monthly Capsule Report contains highlights of MPR. Monthly Progress Report and Monthly Capsule Report have been released up to March, 2010. The Ministry of Statistics and Progrmame Implementation also brings out an Annual Review Report on TPP which covers all items under TPP. The report is prepared on the basis of information received from Central Nodal Ministries and State Governments/UT Administrations and the report pertains to 2009-10.

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT LOCALAREA DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
The Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD) was launched by the Government of India on 23rd December, 1993, to enable Members of Parliament to recommend works of developmental nature with emphasis on the creation of durable community assets based on the locally felt needs to be taken up in their Constituencies/States. Initially the MPLADS was under the control of the Ministry of Rural Development. The subject relating to the MPLADS was transferred to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme implementation in October, 1994. The Scheme is governed by a set of Guidelines, which have been comprehensively revised from time to time. The present Guidelines were issued in November, 2005. Some of the salient features of the scheme are enumerated below:-
l The MPLADS is a Plan Scheme fully funded by the Government of India, under which funds are released in the form of Grants-in-Aid, as special Central Assistance to States.
l In 1993-94, when the Scheme was launched, an amount of Rs. 5 lakh per MP was allotted which was enhanced to Rs. 1 crore per annum from 1994-95 per MP constituency. This was further increased to Rs. 2 crore from 1998-99. It is released in two equal instalments of Rs. 1 crore each by the Government of India directly to the District Authorities for execution of the eligible works recommended by the MPs by following the established procedure of the concerned State Government. Now it has been proposed to increase from Rs. 2 crore to Rs. 5 Crore from 2011-12.
l The funds released under the scheme are non lapsable i.e. the funds not released in a particular year will be carried forward for making releases in the subsequent years subject to eligibility.
l Examining the eligibility, sanctioning, funding, selection of implementing agencies, prioritization and overall execution, monitoring of the scheme at the ground level, is done by the District Authorities.
l The Lok Sabha Members can recommend works in their respective constituencies. The elected members of Rajya Sabha can recommend works anywhere in the State from which they are elected. Nominated Members of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha can recommend works for implementation anywhere in the country.
l Right from the inception of the Scheme, works for creation of durable assets of national priorities viz., drinking water, primary education, public health, sanitation and roads, etc have been given priority.
l MPs can also recommend community infrastructure and public utility building works for registered Societies/Trusts subject up to a ceiling of Rs. 25 lakh. The Basic Economic Data 149 ownership of the land may remain with the Society/ Trust, but the structure constructed with MPLADS funds shall be the property of State/UT Government.
l Special attention is given for infrastructural development of areas inhabited by Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population by earmarking 15% and 7.5% respectively of MPLADS funds for those areas and if there is no tribal population inthe constituency of the Lok Sabha members of Parliament, they can recommend works within their state of election upto 7.5% of their annual entitlement in the notified CD blocks with more than 50% tribal population.
l Also to encourage Trusts/Societies to work for the betterment of the tribal people, the ceiling of Rs. 25 lakh has been increased to 37.50 lakhs where the additional amount of Rs.12.50 Lakh should be used for the creation of public utility building assets primarily for the benefit of tribal people exclusively in the notified tribal CD blocks with more than 50% tribal population.
l In order to undertake rehabilitation works in the areas affected by calamities in a State, Lok Sabha MPs from the non-affected areas of that State can recommend permissible works to the tune of up to Rs. 10 lakh per annum in those areas. In the event of calamity of severe nature in any part of the country, an MP can recommend works up to a maximum of Rs. 50 lakh for the affected district.
l MPs can promote education and culture of a State/UT wherefrom they are elected at a place outside that State/UT by selecting works relating to education and cultural development not prohibited under the Guidelines on MPLADS up to a maximum of Rs. 10 lakh in a financial year.
l At the time of the constitution of Lok Sabha, and election of a Rajya Sabha Member, the first instalment of Rs. 1 crore will be released to the District Authorities.
l To bring in more financial accountability, furnishing the Utilization Certificate for the previous financial year and the Audit certificate for the funds released for the MP concerned in the year prior to the previous year are also prerequisites for release of the second instalment. The first instalment of the fund will be released in the beginning of the financial year, subject to the condition that second instalment of the previous year was release for the MP concerned.
l The normal financial and audit procedures prevalent in the states in which the works are executed apply with regard to the implementation of the works. l An effective mechanism of monitoring of implementation of MPLADS is most essential, for efficacious implementation of the Scheme. Ministry has, therefore, envisaged direct physical monitoring of MPLADS works on sample basis in selected districts, through an independent agency viz. NABARD Consultancy Services (NABCONS) launched from 2007-08. This initiative was envisaged as an important instrument for monitoring and a source of feedback on the status of implementation at the ground level so that corrective action may be taken. So far, 133 districts of the country have been covered in first three phases such as 30 districts in 2007-08, 43 districts in 2008-09 and 60 districts in 2009-
10. The concerned District authorities have been asked to take corrective measures on the basis of the report, In fourth phase during 2010-11, monitoring of 75 districts have been taken.
