Brief MethodologyThe entire country was divided into 6 regions
Of the total sample units, 5088 were selected from urban areas and remaining 1655 from rural areas
Using Economic Census data, the urban areas (wards), within each region, were classified into four strata on the basis of number of units. These classes are wards with:
Similarly, rural areas (villages), within each region, were classified into two strata:
A stratified multistage sample design was adopted.
For selection of urban sample, towns, wards/ blocks and units were the first, second and third stage respectively while villages and units were the two stages of selection for rural sample.
Established in 1956, NCAER is India's oldest and largest independent, non-profit, economic policy research institute.
Six decades in the life of a nation is a long time. It is even longer in the life of an institution. But the promise of NCAER—to ask the right questions, gather good evidence, analyse it well, and share the results widely—has endured.
India has achieved much, and much remains undone. As the economy has changed, so too has NCAER, to continue to help understand India's rapid economic and social transformation. As newer and more complex economic challenges emerge, NCAER will have to do more to keep its promise. To do this well, that is NCAER's promise renewed.
The focus of NCAER's work in these areas is on generating and analysing empirical evidence to support and inform policy choices. It is also one of a handful of think tanks globally that combine rigorous analysis and policy outreach with deep data collection capabilities, especially for household surveys.
