Report on Non Profit Institutions in Punjab.

Abstract

Non Profit Institutions (NPIs) constitute a significant proportion of economic activities in countries throughout the world, accounting for 7 to 10 per cent of non-agricultural employment in many developed countries and considerable shares of the employed labour force in developing countries. But in National Accounts Statistics (NAS) in India, the NPIs sector is not shown as a separate entity due to lack of data. Keeping in view the necessity to have separate national accounts aggregates for the NPI sector in totality in the NAS and to implement the UN Handbook on Nonprofit Institutions (NPls) in the System of National Accounts, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), GOI has launched a survey on NPls to collect data on output, employment and other financial parameters.
