Ex-Chief Statistician Pronab Sen: For data credibility, need to fix calendar for its release -Aanchal Magazine & Anil Sasi

-The Indian Express

As of now, the government does have a calender for release of data sets such as national accounts, Index of Industrial Production and inflation. But there are no specific timeline for release of labour force statistics and consumption expenditure surveys.

Putting in place a release calendar for all official economic data sets and ensuring their timely release is key to restoring the credibility of India’s statistics, according to Pronab Sen, former Chief Statistician of India. He now heads the recently-formed Standing Committee on Economic Statistics.

Responding to a question by The Indian Express if like China, withholding of key government data sets has dented India’s global image on official statistics, Sen said suppression of data and the subsequent leaks have progressively resulted in the “demonising of data” and ended up demoralising the country’s statistical system.
