According to official sources, the plan will focus on greater state-level collaborations, putting emphasis on artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) to take a central role in statistics, and finding new data sources to align with administrative statistics.

The integration of AI/ML will mainly be done to improve data collection for surveys, and further for its compilation.

FE had reported earlier that AI/ML will be used for the eight economic census exercise, scheduled to begin in April 2025.
