Importance of CIS
Prior to CIS, the only data available on Industrial Statistics was the results of Census of Manufacturing Industries (C.M.I) that were available with the time lag of 2-3 years with a question mark on very high rate of non- response. This high rate of non-response affected the consistency of the results. Therefore, these results were of little use for current and future planning except for historical, research and academic interests/purposes.
So, to have current information on production, employment and other aspects of manufacturing activities e.g. consumption of raw material, wages/salaries, export of industrial products, imports of raw material and productivity of labour etc. for economic planning, evaluation of industrial development and taking other policy related decisions, Government of the Punjab had decided in October 1972 to undertake a Monthly Survey on Industrial Production and Employment.
Objectives of CIS
This survey was initiated in October 1972 with the objectives: -
- To minimize the time lag of CIS from 2-3 years to 30-60 days.
- To have reliable and timely industrial statistics and measuring the performance of industrial sector
The aim of this division is to assist the Punjab Planning & Development Department in formulation of Economic Plans to arrive at major policy decisions.
CIS Operations
Monthly Survey of Industrial Production & Employment in the Punjab operations are listed below:
Data Collection by Field Offices
- Printing and mailing of the questionnaires to the factories
- Collection of CIS Returns from the factories and their supply to the Head Quarter Office of Bureau of Statistics Punjab for processing of the data
