&lt;em&gt;* NSSO and CSO are to be merged into what will be known as NSO&lt;br /&gt;
* The order puts the merged entity under Mospi secretary&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry of statistics and programme implementation (MoSPI) passed an order on 23 May to merge the Central Statistics Office (CSO) and National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) into the National Statistical Office (NSO). Mint analyses what led to the decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* When was a revamp of the statistical system first proposed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2000, a committee headed by former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor C. Rangarajan suggested the establishment of NSO as the nodal body for all core statistical activities. It would have worked under the National Statistical Commission (NSC), which was to be answerable to Parliament, not the government. The intent was to clean up collection, calculation and dissemination of data. NSC was set up in June 2005, but didn&amp;rsquo;t have a statutory role. It was given supervisory powers over one arm of the statistical system, NSSO. The idea of an NSO that would include NSSO and CSO was not effected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* What is the row over India&amp;rsquo;s growth numbers and data systems?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Narendra Modi government has been accused of fudging growth numbers and tinkering with jobs data that would have shown it in poor light. Numbers are sacrosanct and international organizations rely on them to arrive at their own estimates for a country&amp;rsquo;s growth trajectory and economic potential. These estimates help them make decisions related to investments and trade. The last straw came in January when two NSC members resigned because they felt NSSO was delaying the release of a jobs report at the behest of Mospi, though NSC had cleared it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* What does MoSPI&amp;rsquo;s 23 May order say?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The order says NSSO and CSO are to be merged into what will be known as NSO. The Mospi secretary would head NSO and three director generals would assist him.&lt;br /&gt;
