Ministries seek more socioeconomic surveys; several requests made to statistics ministry for tech, manpower support
==========

Key economic ministries in India have requested technical and manpower support from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) for a fresh set of surveys. The surveys aim to bolster their database for suitable policy action and cover areas such as tourism footfall surveys, ailments among the elderly, and price estimation of industrial inputs. The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), the survey wing of the statistics ministry, will conduct these surveys. The NSSO conducts large-scale sample surveys in diverse fields across India and collects data on various socio-economic subjects. The ministry will likely start conducting the additional surveys after the elections. Private agencies may be contracted to conduct certain surveys due to resource constraints, but there are concerns about the accuracy of results from such agencies. Experts suggest expanding the capacities of the NSSO to conduct the extra surveys.
