National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) & Ayush

National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) Survey for Department of
AYUSH
Database/Statistics is an essential base for good and effective Planning.
However, Department of AYUSH as yet had no benchmark Statistics available
either from census or adequate sample size based enquiry. Therefore, National
Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) was persuaded vigorously to undertake the
Survey for AYUSH.
NSSO has now for the first time included some questions in their Consumer
Expenditure Schedule for the 68th annual round on Socio-economic Surveys for
collecting information for Department of AYUSH. The NSSO will collect
information from about one lakh households nationwide both in rural and urban
areas. The survey will commence from July 2011 and will be conducted in 4 subrounds
upto June 2012.
The survey results are expected to become available in 2013. The survey
result will give authenticated base level assessment from the households/population
about the usage and acceptability of AYUSH systems in the country. Department of
AYUSH will use the survey results for better future planning and road map for
AYUSH.
Sample of the questionnaire is attached.
