Tracing the Contours of Official Economic Statistics in India

By: Arjun Kumar,Anshula Mehta,Ritika Gupta,Simi Mehta

The system of official economic statistics in India has undergone myriad changes since Independence. There have been various developments in its administrative structures and changing levels of focus on different economic sectors. The types of datasets available for these sectors have been ever-evolving and undergo dynamic changes owing to real-time measurement and analysis using ICT. The Agricultural and Livestock Censuses capture data on the agricultural sector. For the Industries sector, Annual Survey of Industries and the Directorate of Industries in states are the two major sources of data. Since economic liberalisation in India, there has been an increased focus on the Services sector and developing a well-organised mechanism to cover it. This sector is covered by National Sample Surveys, Ministry of Corporate Affairs’ MCA-21 Database, GSTN and others. The unorganised and informal sectors of the economy also find coverage in NSS Rounds on Employment and Enterprises. The Census of India, the Economic Census, Price Indices and NSS Rounds on Consumption Expenditure, Enterprises and Employment, among others, are major sources of economic statistics as well. We also have new arrays of data for the formal sector in the form of EPFO, Direct Tax, Property Tax and others. Using this sector-wise classification of Agriculture, Industries, and Services, and also including the unorganised and informal sectors, the paper explores India’s structure of economic statistics. While the paper draws attention to recent datasets and rounds of surveys, the focus is also on the evolution of the system of official economic statistics in India. The paper highlights issues with the credibility and utility of the available data, in light of a declining GDP growth which also gives rise to more serious questions on the reliability of the country’s data architecture and system of economic statistics. It also discusses structural changes such as those of the MoSPI and NSC. The system of official economic statistics in India now faces the challenge of adapting to Information and Communication Technology. The paper thus emphasises the role of strengthening realtime and Management Information Systems’ data to enable evidence-based policymaking and planning and realise the vision of ‘New India’ and a US$ 5 trillion economy.

Local Governance 2021

By: Tikender Singh Panwar,Simi Mehta,Arjun Kumar,Anshula Mehta

The present volume, The State of Local Governance: A Compendium of Deliberations - Local Governance 2020-2021, is a compilation of analytical and critical reflections and examination of the local governance policies adapted for guaranteed sustainable habitat and shelter, health, environment, education and employment. The compendium is a product of the conversation series, Local Governance, organised by IMPRI, Impact and Policy Research Institute, New Delhi. The series meditates upon existing policies, their execution, drawbacks and successive attempts for desired results in local governance. It explores the possible strategies adopted in the post-pandemic era for sustainable habitat and environment, the problems of housing in urban localities, and the role of local government in natural disaster-stricken areas. It contemplates initiatives for inclusive city planning, safe sanitation for all, disaster resilience plans and the role of people, such as the People Power Campaign (PPC) in development discourses.

Final Report of the Endline Impact Evaluation - Seva and Global Sight Initiative’s Strengthening Capacity and Learning To Deliver Quality Eye Care (SCALE) Project (January – March 2020)

By: Kuldeep Singh,Heidi Chase,Arjun Kumar,Anshula Mehta

Seva Foundation, a global non-profit eye care organization, established the Global Sight Initiative (GSI) to help end avoidable blindness. GSI, composed of more than 100 hospitals across 20 countries, promotes universal access to culturally appropriate, affordable, and high-quality eye care services. The purpose is to create self-sustaining, comprehensive eye care systems serving marginalized communities throughout the developing world. In January 2016, Seva partnered with Seeing Is Believing (SiB) to support the Global Sight Initiative (GSI) intervention in India through the “SCALE: Strengthening Capacity and Learning to Effectively Deliver Quality Eye Care” (SCALE) project started in mid-2016. The project’s goal was to scale up comprehensive quality eye care services through capacity building, resulting in a direct increase in the restored sight of people. The SCALE project was completed in December 2019. The purpose of this endline impact evaluation study was to review the performance of the SCALE program vis-à-vis its objectives by analyzing the program data as reported by hospitals and presenting the perceived impact and feedback from the data collected through structured questionnaires and consultations with the mentee and mentor hospitals, as well as highlighting the suggested improvements. Analysis of the quantitative program data showed a remarkable performance for all objectives of the program, with inevitable scope for improvement. Feedback from hospital partners was promising, with all noting an inclination to recommend the SCALE program to other hospitals in need of support. Based upon the overall understanding and assessment of the SCALE program, some crucial suggestions and recommendations emerged for future action in the areas of data collection and reporting, capacity building, gender inclusion, mentoring and support, cross-learning, monitoring and evaluation, and research and development, among others.
