India Debt & Investment Visit 2 , Jan - Dec 2013

NSS 70th Round

Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey The 70th round (January 2013 - December 2013) of NSS is earmarked for surveys on land and livestock holdings, debt and investment and situation assessment survey of agricultural households.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) conducted, for the first time during November 1951 to August 1952, the “All India Rural Credit Survey” in 75 selected districts spread all over the country. The main objective of this survey was to study two aspects, viz.,(i) the demand for credit from rural families and (ii) the supply of credit by credit agencies -both institutional and non-institutional. The data were collected mainly for formulating the banking policies. The design of the survey was not suitable for providing estimates of indebtedness at the state and national level. The second such survey on rural “Debt and Investment” was conducted by the RBI in the year 1961-62 for obtaining reliable estimates of debt, borrowing, capital formation etc. The third comprehensive enquiry in this series of decennial surveys was entrusted by the RBI to the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) and was conducted along with the survey on “Land Holding” during the year 1971-72, as a part of the NSSO programme in its 26th round survey operation. The fourth such survey was conducted in the 37th round (January to December 1982) along with Land Holdings as per the ten years programme charted by the Governing Council. The fifth such survey “All India Debt and Investment Survey (AIDIS)” was conducted along with “Land and Livestock Holdings” in the 48th round (January to December, 1992).

The last survey on these subjects was conducted in 59th round of NSS (January 2003 - December 2003).The objectives of the AIDIS remain the same as those of the earlier surveys, namely, to obtain quantitative information on the stock of assets, incidence of indebtedness, capital formation and other indicators or rural/urban economy which will be of value in developing the credit structure in particular, and also for obtaining other allied information required in the field of planning and development. Further, since the survey will be of the kind of a repeat survey of that of the NSS 48th round, it is considered necessary to plan the survey in such a way as to ensure, as far as practicable, comparability with the estimates of the various characteristics generated from the earlier rounds.
