Economic Census survey launched in Vikarabad

Vikarabad: The 7th Economic Census, which is being conducted nationwide through common services centres (CSC), was launched here on Thursday. As many as 400 enumerators and 150 supervisors will conduct the survey in the district. District Collector Pausumi Basu explained to them how to carry out the survey.

CPO K Ravinder, DIO Nagamani, district manager, CSC, Kishan Rathod and others were present. Conducting periodic Economic Census has been the means of measuring the diversity of non‐farm economic activities in all its major dimensions. In respect of units operating in fixed premises/ locations, the Economic Census is expected to provide updates on units actually operative to the concerned registering /licensing authorities, most of whom have no mechanism to maintain live registers.

In respect of units without fixed premises /location and invisible units, the Economic Census is expected to provide location‐wise information on number of units along with other characteristics.
