    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 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

    Sample survey data [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.

    Merging of unit level data
    As per existing policy to merge unit level data at ultimate digit level of NIC'08 (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-08 (5 Digit) with the adjoining industries within district and then to adjoining districts within a state. There may be some NIC-08 (5 Digit) ending with '9' that do not figure in the book of NIC '08. 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-09) 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 the loss of information.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    Sampling Procedure

    The sampling design followed in ASI 2008-09 is a stratified 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 industrial units belonging to the six less industrially developed states/ UT's viz. Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura, Sikkim and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
    b) For the rest of the twenty-six states/ UT's., (i) units having 100 or more workers, and (ii) all factories covered under Joint Returns.
    c) After excluding the Census Sector units as defined above, all units belonging to the strata (State by 4-digit of NIC-04) having less than or equal to 4 units are also considered as Census Sector units.

    Remaining units, excluding those of Census Sector, called the sample sector, are arranged in order of their number of workers and samples are then drawn circular systematically considering sampling fraction of 20% within each stratum (State X Sector X 4-digit NIC) for all the states. An even number of units with a minimum of 4 are selected and evenly distributed in two sub-samples. The sectors considered here are Biri, Manufacturing and Electricity.

    Deviations from the Sample Design

    There was no deviation from sample design in ASI 2008-09.

    Response Rate

    No. of units to be surveyed No. of units responded No. of units non-responded Response rate (in %)

       58300                       52376                                    5924                          89.84
    Weighting

    WGT (Multiplier factor) is the weighting variable from Block A: IDENTIFICATION Block. For Census data WGT has been given weight as 1.

    Survey instrument

    Questionnaires

    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)

    Methodology notes

    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. 40 Desktop computers were connected in LAN with the server for data entry and validation. There were 30 data entry operators doing the data entry and validation through software, their average productivity being between 20-25 ASI schedules per working day. 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. RSE of estimates at all India level are also available in Volume-I.

    Data Collection Notes

    ASI Schedule has two parts: Part-I and Part-II. Part-I of ASI schedule aims to collect data on assets and liabilities, employment and labour cost, receipts, expenses, input items - indigenous and imported, products and by-products, distributive expenses etc. Part-II of ASI schedule aims to collect data on different aspects of labour statistics, namely, working days, mandays worked, absenteeism, labour turnover, man-hours worked, earning and social security benefits.

    The major additions and deletions of items in ASI 2008-09 schedule in comparison to ASI 2007-08 schedules are given below.

    Information on 'How many units located in the same state' collected in Block B of ASI 2007-08 has been dropped.
    Information regarding 'ISO Certification, 14000 Series' is additionally be collected in Block-B along with information regarding 'original investment in plant and machinery'.
    'Depreciation on deduction/adjustment' has been reintroduced in Block-C.
    Information on 'Child Workers Employed Directly' (Row 3) of the existing schedule would not be collected separately in Block-E
    Information on 'Subsidy' has been additionally collected in Block-G.
    Data on 'Gas Consumed' has been collected additionally in Block-H
    Information on 'Export made by the unit' additionally collected in Block-J

    General Remarks regarding filling up of ASI schedules

    The ASI work involves a number of stages. There are some general procedural aspects.
    A separate return for each registered factory/electricity supply undertaking should be submitted as a rule. In following this, the aspects to be taken note of are:
    Unless ownership has changed during the reference year, only one return is to be compiled for one factory.
    If a part of a registered factory has been operated by the owner and another part by the occupier the total manufacturing activities of both the owner and the occupier should be duly recorded in one return.
    If the factory as a whole has been rented out, the return for the factory may be filled from the occupier's point of view.
    If for a factory, which is served with notice, is found that its products are meant for training of inmates and has no sale value and are produced as a product during training, the facts may be reported to the Statistics Authority and data need not be collected This is normally applicable to Training Centers and Jails which are registered as factories. Further, workshop in jails registered under factories Act should be canvassed for ASI only when the products of the workshop are meant for sale. In case the products are not sold but are incidental to training to the convicts engaged at the workshop, such a workshop is outside the purviews of ASI.

    Submission of Joint Returns
    Although, as per rules for such registered unit of inquiry a separate return should be furnished, in special circumstances, where the accounts of two or more registered units cannot be bifurcated factory wise a joint return may be accepted in a particular ASI if all the following conditions are fulfilled:
    They are located in the same State.
    They belong to the Census Scheme i.e. 100 or more workers only.
    They belong to the same industry at the ultimate NIC code level.

    There will be no joint return in sample sector. Also there will be no joint return with Census and Sample. In such cases appropriate apportions should be done to avoid any complications in estimation different parameters. In census sector also appropriate apportions should be made if some changes occur in joint returns.

    Data processing

    Data Editing

    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.

    A list of validation checks carried out on data files is given in External Resources "Validation checks, ASI 2008-09".
    Code list, State code list, Tabulation program and ASICC code are also may be refered in the External Resources which are used for editing and data processing as well..

    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 Foxpro 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.
