Answers
Answer:
The first round of the Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE) will be held from October 1 this year to March 2020 at the national level, Vijay Kumar, director general, (National Sample Survey) National Statistical Office (NSO), has said.
The survey will cover the economic and operational characteristics of unorganised non-agricultural establishments engaged in manufacturing, trade and other services sectors.
The last such survey was conducted during July 2015-June 2016.
Key role
The survey assumes significance as the unincorporated sector plays a vital role in the economy on account of the significant workforce it represents and its contribution to the GDP.
“This time the survey will be conducted using Computer Assisted Personalised Interviewing (CAPI) method using tablets. Employing IT tools for data collection/compilation will help NSO immensely in maintaining the quality of data and timely release of survey results in the public domain,” Mr. Vijay Kumar said here on Monday, inaugurating a three-day regional training camp for NSO field staff to equip them for the exercise.
All except Andamans
All urban and rural regions of the country, except the remote villages of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, will be covered under the survey. At the all-India level, the total sample size will be 8,000 first stage units or FSUs, essentially census villages that are an operationally convenient and readily accessible frame.
In the urban areas, the basic unit is the Urban Frame Survey (UFS), where each town is divided into Investigator Units which are further split into UFS blocks.
“Reliable and authoritative data on this sector will help planning and policy formulation. It will also enable the National Accounts Division of the NSO to compute different components of national accounts,” Sunitha Bhaskar, Deputy Director General, NSO, regional office, Thiruvananthapuram, said. The first round of the survey, from October 2019 to March 2020, is further divided into two sub-rounds, from October to December and January to March.
The second round of ASUSE will last 12 months, from April 2020 to March 2021.
NSO was formed earlier this year by merging the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) with the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO).
Results of 2015-16 survey
Key results from the 2015-16 survey had put the number of unincorporated non-agricultural enterprises in the country at 6.34 crore, of which 48.7% were in urban locations and 51.3% in rural areas.
Of these, manufacturing units accounted for 31%, trading 36.3% and other services 32.6%. In all, 84.2% of the enterprises were Own Account Enterprises (OAE) which did not employ any hired worker on a fairly regular basis.
Kerala’s share
Uttar Pradesh accounted for 14.2% of the total number of enterprises. Kerala accounted for 3.75%.
The share of workers in this sector in Kerala had stood at 4.04% of the total national figures in 2015-16.
From now now, the ASUSE is expected to be held annually.
Answer:
The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation released the report titled “Key Indicators of Unincorporated Non-Agricultural Enterprises (Excluding Construction) in India’ based on the information collected under 73rd round of its survey conducted during July, 2015 to June, 2016 as a follow-up survey of the 6th Economic Census.
Similar survey on the same subject was earlier conducted by NSSO during July 2010- June 2011 as part of NSS 67th Round.
The survey was designed to generate various estimates on the operational and economic characteristics of the unincorporated non-agricultural enterprises in industry sectors of manufacturing, trading and other services (excluding construction) such as their type of ownership, type of enterprises, employment particulars, operating expenses & receipts, Gross Value Added, indebtedness, etc.
The survey covered non-agricultural enterprises which are not incorporated (i.e. not registered under Companies Act, 1956). The categories of enterprises under the coverage of survey included, proprietary and partnership enterprises (excluding limited liability partnerships), Self Help Groups (SHGs), Non-Profit Institutions (NPIs) and Trusts etc.
The domain of ‘unincorporated enterprises’ excluded (a) enterprises registered under Sections 2m(i) and 2m(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948 or bidi and cigar manufacturing enterprises registered under Bidi and Cigar Workers (Condition of Employment) Act, 1966, (b) government/public sector enterprises and (c) cooperatives.
The survey would provide much needed information to the planners and policy makers on the unincorporated non-agricultural sector for targeted planning and policy formulation. The survey would also generate estimates at a disaggregated activity category level as required by Central Statistics Office (CSO).
The survey covered the whole of the Indian Union. The results of the survey are based on the sample canvassed by NSSO, consisting of 8,484 villages and 7,839 urban blocks, spread over all States and Union Territories of the country. The total number of enterprises in which the Schedule was canvassed was 1,43,179 and 1,46,934 in rural and urban India respectively during the period July, 2015 –June, 2016.
