of Crop Statistics (ICS) |
| Objectives
|
The
objective of this scheme is to bring about improvement in crop
statistics by conducting spot supervision of: i)
area enumeration, ii)
area aggregation, and iii)
crop cutting experiments in 10,000 villages. Supervision is
carried out by Central and State equally (5,000 villages by central
agency NSSO and 5,000 villages by State machinery). |

| Salient
Features |
In India,
estimates of area under crops are obtained by the method of
complete enumeration based on field to field inspection done by the
village revenue agencies in all land record States and the sample
surveys in the States where land utilisation record is not
maintained. The estimates of yield of principal crops are
based on random sampling, crop cutting experiments conducted under
the general crop estimates surveys. The whole exercise is of large
scale data generation in a decentralized set up hence the quality
and timeliness is susceptible to several factors. The scheme
is needed to locate, through the joint efforts of the Central and
State authorities., lacuna, if any, in the State system of
collection of agricultural statistics and suggest measures to effect
lasting improvements in this system. The joint effort take the
farm of sample check on (I) area enumeration, (ii) page totaling of
khasara registers (iii) and crop cutting experiments. |

utilisation through which the survey/ sub-survey number are put
during each season as observed by the supervisor. The entries
made by the primary workers in the Khasara register in respect of
these survey/sub-survey numbers are also obtained and
recorded. The results of check are filled in a specially
designed schedule. The sample check of preparation of crop abstract
consists of checking of page wise totals of area figures recorded
under crops and utilisation in the khasara register and recording
the totals of crop areas and utilisation. Inspection of crop cutting
experiments at harvest stage under the scheme covers specified major
crops and consist of examining whether the State primary worker
conducts the experiments conforming to the procedure laid down under
the general crop estimation surveys of the State. The aspect
of check include the selection of survey numbers/sub-survey numbers,
fields, random coordinates, marking of plots, harvesting and
weighing of produce. The observations of supervisory staff on
these aspects are filled in a specially designed schedule. |
