Abstract
Introduction
The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is the principal source of industrial statistics in India. It provides statistical information to assess changes in the growth, composition and structure of organised manufacturing sector comprising activities related to manufacturing processes, repair services, gas and water supply and cold storage. The Survey is conducted annually under the statutory provisions of the Collection of Statistics Act 1953, and the Rules framed there-under in 1959, except in the State of Jammu & Kashmir where it is conducted under the State Collection of Statistics Act, 1961 and the rules framed there-under in 1964.

Kind of Data
Sample survey data [ssd]
Unit of Analysis
The primary unit of enumeration in the survey is a factory in the case of manufacturing industries, a workshop in the case of repair services, an undertaking or a licensee in the case of electricity, gas & water supply undertakings and an establishment in the case of bidi & cigar industries. The owner of two or more establishments located in the same State and pertaining to the same industry group and belonging to census scheme is, however, permitted to furnish a single consolidated return. Such consolidated returns are common feature in the case of bidi and cigar establishments, electricity and certain public sector undertakings.

Universe
The ASI covers all factories registered under Sections 2m(i) and 2m(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948 i.e. those factories employing 10 or more workers using power; and those employing 20 or more workers without using power. The survey also covers bidi and cigar manufacturing establishments registered under the Bidi & Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act, 1966 with coverage as above. All electricity undertakings engaged in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity registered with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) were covered under ASI irrespective of their employment size. Certain servicing units and activities like water supply, cold storage, repairing of motor vehicles and other consumer durables like watches etc. are covered under the Survey. Though servicing industries like motion picture production, personal services like laundry services, job dyeing, etc. are covered under the Survey but data are not tabulated, as these industries do not fall under the scope of industrial sector defined by the United Nations. Defence establishments, oil storage and distribution depots, restaurants, hotels, café and computer services and the technical training institutes, etc. are excluded from the purview of the Survey.
From ASI 1998-99, the electricity units registered with the CEA and the departmental units such as railway workshops, RTC workshops, Govt. Mints, sanitary, water supply, gas storage etc. are not covered, as there are alternative sources of their data compilation for the GDP estimates by the National Accounts Division of CSO.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
A new sampling design was adopted for ASI 2007-08.
For ASI 2007-2008, the Census Sector has been defined as follows:
All industrial units belonging to the five less industrially developed states/ UT's viz. Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
For the rest of the twenty-six states/ UT's., (i) units having 100 or more workers, and (ii) all factories covered under Joint Returns.
c) Strata (State by 4-digit of NIC-04) having less than or equal to six units after selecting the Census Sector units as defined above are also selected as census sector.
d) From the remaining merged frame (main frame 2004-05 plus supplementary frame 2005-06 plus supplementary frame 2006-07 plus supplementary frame 2007-08), samples were drawn considering higher allocation for states having relatively higher percentage contribution in sample sector in terms of GVA based on last 2 (two) years' available data. Accordingly, state wise census and sample sector contribution of GVA was calculated based on last two years' available data along with the RSE of GVA estimates in sample sector based on data of ASI 2005-06. In general, sampling fraction of 12% was considered for all the states within a StateXSectorX4-digit NIC with a minimum of 6 units evenly distributed in two sub-samples, except (i) Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Madhya Pradesh, Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Goa with 20% sampling fraction, (ii) Delhi & Rajasthan with 13% sampling fraction, (iii) Bihar & Pondicherry with 15% sampling fraction due to relatively higher contribution of sample sector to the total GVA and higher RSE.

Deviations from the Sample Design
The sampling design has undergone changes in the past on several occasions.

Data Processing
Cleaning Operations
Data submitted by the factories undergo manual scrutiny at different stages.
1) They are verified by field staff of NSSO from factory records.
2) Verified returns are manually scrutinized by senior level staff before sending to data processing centre.
3) At the data processing centre these are scrutinized before data entry.
4) The entered data are subjected to computer editing and corrections.
5) Tabulated data are checked for anomalies and consistency with previous results.
