Series Name
Industrial Statistics (Organised Manufacturing & Labour Sector) Survey
Series Information
The Collection of Statistics (Central) Rules, 1959 framed under the 1953 Act provided for, among others, a comprehensive Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) in India. This survey replaced both the CMI (Census of Manufacturing Industries) and SSMI (Sample Survey of Manufacturing Industries). The ASI was launched in 1960 with 1959 as the reference year and is continuing since then except for 1972. For ASI, the Collection of Statistics Act 1953 and the rules frame there-under in 1959 provides the statutory basis. The ASI refers to the factories defined in accordance with the Factories Act 1948, and thus has coverage wider than that of the CMI and SSMI put together.
Abstract
Introduction

The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is one of the large-scale sample survey conducted by Field Operation Division of National Sample Survey Office for more than three decades with the objective of collecting comprehensive information related to registered factories on annual basis. ASI is the primary source of data for facilitating systematic study of the structure of industries, analysis of various factors influencing industries in the country and creating a database for formulation of industrial policy.

The main objectives of the Annual Survey of Industries are briefly as follows:
(a) Estimation of the contribution of manufacturing industries as a whole and of each unit to national income.
(b) Systematic study of the structure of industry as a whole and of each type of industry and each unit.
(c) Casual analysis of the various factors influencing industry in the country: and
(d) Provision of comprehensive, factual and systematic basis for the formulation of policy.

The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is the principal source of industrial statistics in India. It provides statistical information to assess changes in the growth, composition and structure of organised manufacturing sector comprising activities related to manufacturing processes, repair services, gas and water supply and cold storage. The Survey is conducted annually under the statutory provisions of the Collection of Statistics Act 1953, and the Rules framed there-under in 1959, except in the State of Jammu & Kashmir where it is conducted under the State Collection of Statistics Act, 1961 and the rules framed there-under in 1964.
Kind of Data
Census and Sample survey data [cen/ssd]
Unit of Analysis
The primary unit of enumeration in the survey is a factory in the case of manufacturing industries, a workshop in the case of repair services, an undertaking or a licensee in the case of electricity, gas & water supply undertakings and an establishment in the case of bidi & cigar industries. The owner of two or more establishments located in the same State and pertaining to the same industry group and belonging to same scheme (census or sample) is, however, permitted to furnish a single consolidated return. Such consolidated returns are common feature in the case of bidi and cigar establishments, electricity and certain public sector undertakings.

Scope

Study notes
The survey covers all the factories registered under Sections 2(m)(i) and 2(m)(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948, i.e. 10 or more workers with the aid of power or 20 or more workers without the aid of power. The survey also covers bidi and cigar manufacturing establishments registered under the Bidi and Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act 1966. All electricity undertakings engaged in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, but not registered with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) are also covered under ASI. Defence establishments, oil storage and distribution depots etc. are excluded from the purview of the survey. However, certain activities like cold storage, water supply, gas production and distribution, motion picture production, laundry services, repair of motor vehicles and of other consumer durable are covered under the survey.

Coverage

Geographic Coverage
The ASI is the principal source of industrial statistics in India and extends to the entire country except Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram & Sikkim and the Union Territory of Lakshadweep. It covers all factories registered under Sections 2m(i) and 2m(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948.
Universe
The survey cover factories registered under the Factory Act 1948.
Establishments under the control of the Defence Ministry,oil storage and distribution units, restaurants and cafes and technical training institutions not producing anything for sale or exchange were kept outside the coverage of the ASI.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
Sampling Procedure

The sampling design followed in ASI 1999-2000 is a Circular Systematic one. All the factories in the updated frame (universe) are divided into two sectors, viz., Census and Sample.

Census Sector: Census Sector is defined as follows:

a) All the complete enumeration States namely, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
b) For the rest of the States/ UT's., (i) units having 100 or more workers, and (ii) all factories covered under Joint Returns.

Rest of the factories found in the frame constituted Sample sector on which sampling was done. Factories under Biri & Cigar sector were not considered uniformly under census sector. Factories under this sector were treated for inclusion in census sector as per definition above (i.e., more than 100 workers and/or joint returns). After identifying Census sector factories, rest of the factories were arranged in ascending order of States, NIC-98 (4 digit), number of workers and district and properly numbered. The Sampling fraction was taken as 12% within each stratum (State X Sector X 4-digit NIC) with a minimum of 8 samples except for the State of Gujarat where 9.5% sampling fraction was used. For the States of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Goa and Pondicherry, a minimum of 4 samples per stratum was selected. For the States of Bihar and Jharkhand, a minimum of 6 samples per stratum was selected. The entire sample was selected in the form of two independent sub-sample using Circular Systematic Sampling method.
Deviations from the Sample Design
There was no deviation from sample design in ASI 1999-2000.
Weighting
Please note that an inflation factor (Multiplier) WGT is available for each unit against records belonging to Block A: IDENTIFICATION Block., for ASI 1999-2000 data. The multiplier is calculated for each stratum (i.e. State X NIC-98 (4 Digit) after adjusting for non-response cases

Questionnaires

Type of Research Instrument
Annual Survey of Industries Questionnaire (in External Resources) is divided into different blocks:

BLOCK A.IDENTIFICATION PARTICULARS
BLOCK B. PARTICULARS OF THE FACTORY (TO BE FILLED BY OWNER OF THE FACTORY)
BLOCK C: FIXED ASSETS
BLOCK D: WORKING CAPITAL & LOANS
BLOCK E : EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR COST
BLOCK F : OTHER EXPENSES
BLOCK G : OTHER INCOMES
BLOCK H: INPUT ITEMS (indigenous items consumed)
BLOCK I: INPUT ITEMS – directly imported items only (consumed)
BLOCK J: PRODUCTS AND BY-PRODUCTS (manufactured by the unit)

Data Processing

Cleaning Operations
Pre-data entry scrutiny was carried out on the schedules for inter and intra block consistency checks. Such editing was mostly manual, although some editing was automatic. But, for major inconsistencies, the schedules were referred back to NSSO (FOD) for clarifications/modifications.

Validation checks are carried out on data files.
Code list, State code list, Tabulation program and ASICC code are may be refered in the External Resources which are used for editing and data processing as well..

B. Tabulation procedure
The tabulation procedure by CSO(ISW) includes both the ASI 1999-00 data and the extracted data from ASI 98-99 for all tabulation purpose. For extracted returns, status of unit (Block A, Item 12) would be in the range 17 to 20. To make results comparable, users are requested to follow the same procedure. For calculation of various parameters, users are requested to refer instruction manual/report. Please note that a separate inflation factor (Multiplier) is available for each unit against records belonging to Block-A ,pos:54-62 (Please refer STRUC00.XLS) for ASI 99-00 data. The multiplier is calculated for each stratum (i.e. State X NIC'98(4 Digit)) after adjusting for non-response cases.


C. Merging of unit level data
As per existing policy to merge unit level data at ultimate digit level of NIC'98 (i.e., 5 digit) for the purpose of dissemination, the data have been merged for industries having less than three units within State, District and NIC'98(5 Digit) with the adjoining industries within district and then to adjoining districts within a state. There may be some NIC'98(5 Digit) ending with '9' which do not figure in the book of NIC '98. These may be treated as 'Others' under the corresponding 4-digit group. To suppress the identity of factories data fields corresponding to PSL number, Industry code as per Frame (4-digit level of NIC-98) and RO/SRO code have been filled with '9' in each record.

It may please be noted that, tables generated from the merged data may not tally with the published results for few industries, since the merging for published data has been done at aggregate-level to minimise loss of information.


G. Record Identification Key
Record identification key for each factory is Despatch Serial No. (DSL, pos: 4-8) X Block code (Blk, pos: 3). Please refer STRUC00.XLS for item level identification key for each unit.

Data Appraisal

Estimates of Sampling Error
Relative Standard Error (RSE) is calculated in terms of worker, wages to worker and GVA using the formula (Pl ease refer to Estimation Procedure document in external resources). Programs developed in Visual Faxpro are used to compute the RSE of estimates.
Data Appraisal
To check for consistency and reliability of data the same are compared with the NIC-2digit level growth rate at all India Index of Production (IIP) and the growth rates obtained from the National Accounts Statistics at current and constant prices for the registered manufacturing sector.
