Multiple reports have been delayed (for short or long periods of time) or not released under the Modi government.

Data is considered the most precious resource, and it appears that the Indian government does want to keep it under wraps. Crime Statistics by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) haven’t been released since 2016, the controversial Periodic Labour Force Survey was delayed and released after the elections (and also ruffled a lot of feathers), migration data from the 2011 Census was released this year, and data from the Socio-Economic Caste Census collected by the UPA government in 2012-13 is yet to be released.

This is not all. The Annual Observance Report of the Special Data Dissemination Standard for 2018 by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) showed that India also did not meet multiple requirements in the release of economic and financial data as prescribed by the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) of the IMF. India delayed disseminating data in multiple categories for varying periods.

Himanshu, an associate professor at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning at JNU, says that all governments are afraid of data that is uncomfortable, but in a democracy, elected governments also have to respect institutions whether they like it or not. This is why statistical institutions are kept independent, he adds.
