Nutritional Intake in India NSS 50th Round July 1993 - June 1994 Fifth Quinquennial Survey on Consumer Expenditure

Abstract

An all-India survey on consumer expenditure, employment and unemployment was carried out by National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) during the period July 1993 to June 1994. In view of the fact that the Planning Commission was actually engaged in various exercises required for formulation of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it was decided to accord high priority to tabulation of data from this survey. A summary Report giving Household Consumer Expenditure Patterns for all-India and for major States was brought out in March 1996. A second Report giving detailed tables for each State and U.T. of India on breakdown of the given expenditure by commodity groups, etc. has also been brought out in May 1996.
