What the government approved
Government Order (Ms.) Number 19 of the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SPC) Department sanctions the Tamil Nadu Household Panel Survey under the Tamil Nadu Innovation Initiatives and State Innovation Fund programme for 2015-2016.
The survey is intended to strengthen the capacity for systematic and scientific sample surveys on social and economic development in Tamil Nadu. The original proposal estimated a total project cost of Rs.480.00 lakhs for three years. Following consideration by the State Planning Commission, the approved cost was restricted to Rs.390.00 lakhs for the same period.
Key financial provisions are:
- Rs.390.00 lakhs is sanctioned as the total project cost.
- Rs.10.00 lakhs is released as the first year cost for 2015-2016.
- Funding is to come from the State Innovation Fund through the accounts identified in the document.
- The Principal Secretary and Commissioner, Department of Economics and Statistics, is authorised to draw and disburse the sanctioned amount.
How the survey will work
The Tamil Nadu Household Panel Survey is planned in two phases:
- The first phase will establish baseline information.
- The second phase will be a follow up survey conducted one or two years after completion of the baseline survey.
Staff of the Department of Economics and Statistics will be involved in the study. The survey is expected to provide timely information about social and economic development and wellbeing in Tamil Nadu.
The survey data is intended to be made publicly available to researchers and analysts in the state. The programme also provides for outreach, training and user support to help new data analysts access and use the information effectively.
