Explanation
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), through the National Statistical Office (NSO), conducts several key socio-economic surveys. The Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) was launched in 2017 to provide frequent employment data [4]. The Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE) provides critical data on the unorganized sector [7]. Additionally, MoSPI conducts the Household Social Consumption survey focusing on Health, with fieldwork for the latest round scheduled through 2025 [3]. The Comprehensive Modular Survey (CMS) is a newer initiative covering specific themes; recent rounds include modules on Telecom and ICT skills (January-March 2025) and Education [7]. These surveys are designed using scientific sampling to assist in government planning and decision-making [6]. Therefore, all four listed surveys are conducted by MoSPI.
