Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has put in place well-defined mechanisms to ensure timely collection and publication of official statistics

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has implemented robust mechanisms to enhance the timely collection and publication of official statistics. These include digital platforms like Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) and e-SIGMA for National Sample Surveys (NSS), incorporating real-time validation, AI-enabled chatbots, and multilingual interfaces. Similar digital improvements, geo-tagging, and time-stamping are applied to Consumer Price Index (CPI) data collection (under a new series with Base Year 2024). National Accounts Statistics (NAS) are compiled using SNA 2008, and the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) also benefits from improved data collection and validation. MoSPI ensures transparency and accessibility through an Advance Release Calendar (ARC), a revamped Microdata Portal for anonymized unit-level data, and digital platforms like the GoIStats mobile application and e-Sankhyiki Portal.
