Enterprise Survey [en/oth]
The Collection of Statistics (Central) Rules, 1959 framed under the 1953 Act provided for, among others, a comprehensive Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) in India. This survey replaced both the CMI (Census of Manufacturing Industries) and SSMI (Sample Survey of Manufacturing Industries). The ASI was launched in 1960 with 1959 as the reference year and is continuing since then except for 1972. For ASI, the Collection of Statistics Act 1953 and the rules frame there-under in 1959 provides the statutory basis. The ASI refers to the factories defined in accordance with the Factories Act 1948, and thus has coverage wider than that of the CMI and SSMI put together. ASI Summary 1977-78 is one more survey on the Annual survey of Industries.
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. Industrial sector occupies an important position in the State economy and has a pivotal role to play in the rapid and balanced economic development. 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.
Sample survey data [ssd]
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 same scheme (census or sample) 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.

Scope
The survey covers all the factories registered under Sections 2(m)(i) and 2(m)(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948, i.e. 10 or more workers with the aid of power or 20 or more workers without the aid of power. The survey also covers bidi and cigar manufacturing establishments registered under the Bidi and Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act 1966. All electricity undertakings engaged in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, but not registered with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) are also covered under ASI.
In the absence of an electronic/hard copy of the manual of instructions to the filed staff details could not be provided. There is no soft copies of the reports available. Code list being used in this survey is for the year 1980-81 and presumed there is no change.
Coverage
Coverage of the Annual Survey of Industries extends to the entire Factory Sector, comprising industrial units (called factories) registered under section 2(m)(i) and 2(m)(ii) of the Factories Act.1948, wherein a "Factory", which is the primary statistical unit of enumeration for the ASI is defined as:- "Any premises" including the precincts thereof:-
(i) wherein ten or more workers are working or were working on any day of the preceding twelve months, and in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried on with the aid of power or is ordinarily so carried on,
or (ii) wherein twenty or more workers are working or were working on any day of the preceding twelve months, and in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried on without the aid of power. In addition to section 2(m)(i) & 2(m)(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948, electricity units registered with the Central Electricity Authority and Bidi & Cigar units, registered under the Bidi & Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act,1966 are also covered in ASI.
The survey cover factories registered under the Factory Act 1948.
Establishments under the control of the Defence Ministry,oil storage and distribution units, restaurants and cafes and technical training institutions not producing anything for sale or exchange were kept outside the coverage of the ASI.

Sampling
All the factories in the updated frame (universe) are divided into two sectors, viz., Census and Sample.
Census Sector: Census Sector is defined as follows:
a) All industrial units belonging to the 12 less industrially developed states/ UT's viz. Goa, Himachal Pradesh, J & K, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & diu and Pondicherry were completely enumerated every year along with census units.
b) For the rest of the states/ UT's., (i) units having 50 or more workers and using power or 100 or more workers without using power and all electricity undertakings.
(ii) all the industry groups for which the total number of units did not exceed 50 at all-India level
c) Remaining units, excluding those of Census Sector, called the sample sector, was covered in two consecutive years (50% samples in alternate years). The sampling strategy was stratified uni-stage with State X NIC 3 digit as stratum. The strata were formed by grouping factories within each State/UT by the industry group at the ultimate digit level of NIC. Thus in each state, each indutry group constitutes a stratum. Within each stratum the districts were first arranged in ascending order of district codes and within each district the factories were then listed in descending order of their employment size. The factories within each stratum having been arranged in the above manner were allotted a running serial number. Factories with odd serial numbers were surveyd in the first year and those with even numbers in the second year of a cycle of two years.
The sampling strategy was stratified unistage with state X NIC 3 digit as stratum.
There was no deviation from sample design in ASI 1977-78.
Please note that an inflation factor (Multiplier) WGT is available for each unit against records belonging for ASI Summary 1977-78 data.
Survey instrument
Annual Survey of Industries 1977-78 Questionnaire is divided into different blocks : (However only Summarised data is available for processing and analysis). Therefore, there is only one merged data file for ASI Summary 1977-78. Record Layout of the merged file is provided.

Statutory return submitted by factories as well as Face to face.
ASI Schedule has two parts: Part-I and Part-II. Part-I of ASI schedule aims to collect data on assets and liabilities, employment and labour cost, receipts, expenses, input items - indigenous and imported, products and by-products, distributive expenses etc. Part-II of ASI schedule aims to collect data on different aspects of labour statistics, namely, working days, mandays worked, absenteeism, labour turnover, man-hours worked, earning and social security benefits.
General Remarks regarding filling up of ASI schedules
The ASI work involves a number of stages. There are some general procedural aspects.
A separate return for each registered factory/electricity supply undertaking should be submitted as a rule. In following this, the aspects to be taken note of are:
Unless ownership has changed during the reference year, only one return is to be compiled for one factory.
If a part of a registered factory has been operated by the owner and another part by the occupier the total manufacturing activities of both the owner and the occupier should be duly recorded in one return.
If the factory as a whole has been rented out, the return for the factory may be filled from the occupier's point of view.
If for a factory, which is served with notice, is found that its products are meant for training of inmates and has no sale value and are produced as a product during training, the facts may be reported to the Statistics Authority and data need not be collected This is normally applicable to Training Centers and Jails which are registered as factories. Further, workshop in jails registered under factories Act should be canvassed for ASI only when the products of the workshop are meant for sale. In case the products are not sold but are incidental to training to the convicts engaged at the workshop, such a workshop is outside the purviews of ASI.
Data processing
Pre-data entry scrutiny was carried out on the schedules for inter and intra block consistency checks. Such editing was mostly manual, although some editing was automatic. But, for major inconsistencies, the schedules were referred back to NSSO (FOD) for clarifications/modifications.
Code list, State code list and NIC 70 code list may be refered in the External Resources which are used for editing and data processing as well..
Data appraisal
Relative Standard Error (RSE) is calculated in terms of worker, wages to worker and GVA using the formula. Programs developed in Visual Foxpro are used to compute the RSE of estimates.
To check for consistency and reliability of data the same are compared with the NIC-2 digit level growth rate at all India Index of Production (IIP) and the growth rates obtained from the National Accounts Statistics at current and constant prices for the registered manufacturing sector.
