Agenda for next government: Restoring credibility of data
6/2/2019 9:23:38 AM
New Delhi June 2,
ndia's statistical system has been under a cloud since 2015 when the Central Statistics Office (CSO) released the new GDP series (revised base year of 2011-12) showing significant faster growth in some years, compared with the earlier series, which did not square up with related macro aggregates.

Since then, there have been many instances when credibility of the official data was called into question: trimming of growth estimates for the UPA years by reversing an earlier estimate; upward revision of growth for the year of demonetisation (2016-17) to a decade's high of 8.2 per cent; resignation of PC Mohanan, acting chairman of the National Statistical Commission (NSC) and its member Prof JV Meenakshi, in protest against non-publication of employment data of the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) and gross neglect of the NSC.

In all these, the Niti Aayog played a key role even though it has no locus standi and inconvenient data were brushed aside or suppressed. These developments provoked 108 economists and social scientists to protest, expressing concerns over "political interference" in statistical data and calling for restoration of "institutional independence" and "integrity" of statistical organisations.

This article is the fourth in a series that looks at the agenda for the Narendra Modi government's second term. Read the first, second and third part on creating jobs here.
