Enterprise Survey [en/oth]
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.
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.
Sample survey data [ssd]
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.

The final unit level data of ASI 1999-2000 is available now in electronic media. This document describes additional information regarding ASI 1999-2000 data from the point of data processing. Users of the data are requested to read this document carefully before they attempt to process the unit level data for their own purpose. They are also requested to refer to the schedule and the instruction manual for filling up the schedule before interpreting contents of various data fields.
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.

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.
There was no deviation from sample design in ASI 1999-2000.
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
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)
After pre-data entry scrutiny, all the scrutinised schedules were entered in the ORACLE data base by manual typing through data entry software which was prepared in Visual Basic. Client-Server architecture has been used for in house data entry and validation using Oracle as a back end data base and Visual Basic as the front-end tools. There were many data entry operators doing the data entry and validation through software. After data entry, verification of the schedules was also done programmatically. After all kinds of coverage checking and verification, logical validation was done and then the tables were prepared as per the tabulation programme.
The results of ASI are produced in the form of two volumes. Volume - I presents statewise and industry-wise data relating to capital, employments, output - gross and net and several other economic parameters relevant to the industrial sector. Volume -II provides details on materials consumed and ex-factory of products and by products both at all-India level as well as at the level of state/UTs.

FOD (NSSO) under the Ministry of Statistics and PI, Government of India is responsible for supervision of data collection.
Data Collection : The Deputy Director General, FOD(NSSO) has been designated as the SDtatistics Authority under the Collection of Statistics Act, 1953. The FOD of NSSO through its elaborate network of regional and sub-regional offices located in various parts of the country, carries out the field work. Notices are issued by the FOD (NSSO) to owners of the factories enclosing, inter-alia, a complete set of the schedule and instructions requiring them to submit the returns pertaining to the previous financial year by a specified date. Data collection is spread over a prescribed time frame as decided for specific ASI and the returns are regularly despatched to the tabulating agencies after conducting necessary data consistency checks by the NSSO field offices, in accordance with well designed scrutiny procedures and checks.
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.
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.
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.
