Current Status
Progress is being made in gathering data on socio-economic and political variables at State and all India level and stored them in a user-friendly manner. These include collection, compilation and updating of secondary data and soft copies of the reports available at websites of govt. departments as well organizations having significance for academic research. The reports mainly include manuals, NSSO reports, reports of task forces/committees /working group/sub-groups set up by various governments and statistical data reports (Economic surveys- centre/states, Abstracts of Statistics, Statistics at glance, water data book etc.) Moreover, each Centre of the Institute has been requested to furnish the data already collected by them in a user-friendly manner for storing in the data bank.
Apart from these, efforts are also being made to list the entire statistical data reports available with ISEC library to reduce the hassle of search for budding researchers and helping library to keep the track on regular subscription of the these reports. The list of this is put on ISEC website and the entire work will be taken up in a time bound manner. (Click here to see data list)
