Selected Socio-Economic Statistics India 1995

Abstract

From Preface: The importance of statistics and indicators for evaluating the impact of development programmes in the country need not be over emphasized. This has become more important in the context of economic liberalization programmes underway in the country since 1991. It has been the endeavour of the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) to make available upto-date and reliable statistics and indicators for general use. The first attempt for making available a set of socio-economic indicators at one place was made in 1987 by publishing brochure entitled “Selected Socio-Economic Statistics for India”. Keeping in view the utility of the publication expressed by the users, it was made an annual publication and till now six issues of the publication have been brought out.
