Govt releases 5 survey reports after uproar, holds back study it junked -Somesh Jha

-Business Standard

Scholars across the world had appealed for the survey reports, including one on household consumer expenditure.

The Union government on Saturday released five sets of survey reports on key socio-economic trends, most of which were approved but withheld. The junked consumer expenditure survey was not among these.

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) released the survey reports, ‘Household Social Consumption in India: Health’ and ‘Household Social Consumption in India: Education’. The survey for these was conducted along with that for the ‘Household Consumer Expenditure’ between July 2017 and June 2018.

This was a part of the 75th round of survey conducted by the National Statistical Office (NSO), earlier known as the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO).

It has also made public the unit-level data — essential for researchers and analysts to do their own analysis based on the raw survey data. All the reports have been signed by NSO Director General Vijay Kumar.

The government’s decision to release the reports comes two days after over 200 scholars from across the globe issued a statement demanding release of all withheld reports produced by the NSO, including the household consumer expenditure survey that was junked by the government last week.

The other reports released by the MoSPI on Saturday include periodic labour survey force report, which shows the trend of unemployment in urban areas for January-March 2019. It has also released results of its survey titled ‘Drinking Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Housing Conditions in India’ — part of its 75th round of survey conducted between July and December 2018.
