A Regional Training Camp organized by the National Statistics Office (NSO) for an upcoming Socio-Economic Survey on Comprehensive Annual Modular Survey (CAMS) and AYUSH was inaugurated by the Dean of R. A. Podar Ayurved Medical College Vaidya GS Khati in Navi Mumbai today. Smt. Supriya Roy, Deputy Director General, NSO Regional Office and Shri Vijay Ahir, Director, Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Maharashtra were also present on the occasion.

The National Statistics Office (NSO) under the Union Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation will launch the 79th round of Socio-Economic Survey on Comprehensive Annual Modular Survey (CAMS) and AYUSH. The survey will be conducted across the country from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The purpose of this survey is to address the urgency of compiling information that is not available from any other source, such as administrative information on high frequency socio-economic indicators. The survey will also compile information on global sustainable development objectives.

This is the first time that a survey on 'AYUSH' - Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturapathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy has been included. Information on the practice and usage of these different AYUSH disciplines will be mainly collected through this survey. While conducting this survey, special care should be taken about the treatment methods of 'AYUSH' and accurate information should be recorded about the person who changes the treatment method and type of medicine frequently, advised Vaidya GS Khati to the trainee surveyors.

The survey will be conducted uniformly across the country, except for the villages on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and will include a select 32 families from each village, informed Smt. Supriya Roy, Deputy Director General, NSO Regional Office, at the inaugural function. He also appealed to all citizens to cooperate without any hesitation by providing truthful information for the survey.

Shri Vijay Ahir, Director, Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Maharashtra, assured that the state government would extend full cooperation for this survey. The survey will cover a total of 45,695 households in Maharashtra as well as 1428 different groups, he informed.

About 100 delegates and officers involved in the survey are participating in the three-day training camp organized at the regional office of NSO at CBD Belapur in Navi Mumbai. It also includes representatives of Maharashtra's Directorate General of Finance and Statistics. The participation of representatives of the Government of Maharashtra in this training camp has been ensured for harmonization between the central and state level systems in the survey work.
