P.C. Mohanan and J.V. Meenakshi – the only two non-government members of the commission – tendered their resignations because of the body's ineffectiveness.

New Delhi:
The only two non-government members of India’s National Statistical Commission have resigned, leaving just chief statistician Pravin Srivastava and NITI Aayog’s Amitabh Kant at the head of a body that is the apex advisory organisation for all of the country’s core statistical activities.

According to sources with knowledge of the matter, both P.C. Mohanan and J.V. Meenakshi tendered their resignations on Monday (January 28).

Mohanan is a former member of the Indian Statistical Service and Meenakshi is a professor at the Delhi School of Economics. Both of their tenures, according to the NSC’s website, were supposed to end in June 2020. Mohanan also served as the chairperson of the NSC.

Their exits were prompted, The Wire has learned, by the inability of the Modi government to interface with and effectively take on board the commission’s contributions.

Another sore issue was delays in the release of the new NSSO employment survey data, which was vetted by the statistical body. The new survey data, called ‘periodic labour force survey’, has not been made public even though it was approved by the NSC in December.
