Govt to create valid data on district domestic product
Financial Express Kochi
|October 31, 2025
THE ANNUAL SURVEY of unincorporated sector enterprises (ASUSE), coupled with the periodic labour force survey (PLFS), would be extremely useful in calculating the district domestic product (DDP), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation Secretary Saurabh Garg has said.
“These two data sets would capture the labour and enterprise sides and the activities of all household and micro and small enterprises. Large enterprises are very easily identified” Garg said during an address at Delhi School of Economics.
He said that several states have initiated the work on calculating DDP and the ministry is working with them in this regard. “So, we'll have a bottom-up approach of calculating the DDP rather than a top-down allocation-based approach, which is what is happening right now,’ he said.
