Importance of Statistics
Statistics play a crucial role in supporting development policies
and in measuring the impact of interventions.
´ Accurate statistics is the base for planning, be it for the
government or the private sector.
´ Accurate and up to date statistics are essential for obtaining
an objective picture of a country's/State’s economic and social
condition
´ Flawed statistics may lead to flawed decision-making,
including vital ones involving expenditure and investment,
leading to unanticipated and undesirable outcomes.
´ Therefore, it is supremely important to ensure the accuracy
and reliability of statistics.

Background
´
´
´
´
´
The recommendations of the 5National Statistical Commission to
strengthen national and state statistical systems.
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI)
initiated the India Statistical Strengthening Project (ISSP) with the
assistance of the World Bank.
The Government of Karnataka agreed to participate in the ISSP and
prepared Karnataka State Strategic Statistical Plan( KSSSP) - LoP
The State Government has set up Karnataka Statistical System
Development Agency with all participating agencies of the State
government as members for the formulation and implementation of
the KSSSP.
The State Government constituted a high level Steering Committee
under the chairpersonship of the Chief Secretary to oversee and
monitor the formulation and implementation of the KSSSP.

Preparation of KSSSP

´
´
´
´
´
Assessment has been done of the strengths and weaknesses of the state
statistical system as a whole and whether the 20 key statistical activities
meet effectively, adequately and systemically the national minimum
standards.
The planning process started with drawing a road map and constituting
PMT
11 activities are dealt with by DES and remaining 9 activities are dealt
with more than 20 line departs.
The JD’s prepared papers dealing with their subjects regarding present
status in collection, compilation, analysis and dissemination of data, the
gaps in HR, methodology, ICT, timeliness in publishing the
reports/publications
This was vetted by the PMT and the PS and presented in the consultation
meetings of the stakeholders, including academicians, chamber of
commerce and user groups
6
Preparation of KSSSP
7
´
´
´
The same was expected by the line departs for which PS wrote the
letters to all the concerned secretaries of these departments, but
little response was received, except some depts.
Some of the department officers asked us what statistics the DES
needs that they are ready to provide. We told them that it is not
DES that only needs the data, but it is the data users, producers
themselves, the policy makers and others who needs the data, that
ought to be furnished by them.
PMT members and consultants had consultation meetings with the
nodal officers of the line departments and they were explained
about the importance of the SSSP and need for a strategic plan
based on the present status to improve upon the statistics of
theirs.
7
Preparation of KSSSP
8
´
After several consultations the departments had started to
own the responsibility and prepared their strategic plans.
´
We had meeting with E-governance department and National
Informatics Centre (NIC) for ICT strategy.
´
The Administrative Officer undertook the study in regard to
Human Resources development and Deputy Director In
charge of computers the status of the Software and Hardware
available in the DES and DSO’s offices.

Preparation of KSSSP
´
´
´
´

Based on the assessment, goals and strategies were
formulated and reforms proposed were translated into
activities.
Cost and financial plan was prepared on the basis of real
expenditure needed for each activity.
Finally key outputs and key outcomes have been set out
along with provision for monitoring, reporting and
evaluation.
The draft plan so prepared were sent to all the
stakeholders and received their comments.
The PS and the Director were the driving force in the
entire process.

Approval of KSSSP
10
• The Governing council of KSSDA and
the High Level Steering Committee have
accorded approval to the KSSSP
The KSSSP will be placed before the Cabinet after
clearance from GOI
´ The implementation of the KSSSP commences
after signing of the MOU with GOI

Karnataka State Strategic Statistical Plan
VISION of THE STATE
•
´
´
´
11
Develop a coherent and consistent system of data collection, analysis
and dissemination within the present structure of a decentralized set of
responsibilities under the constitutional framework and ensure that
official statistics meet the data needs at all levels of aggregation from
nation level down to sub district level and that it is comparable across
time and space.
To strengthen the coordination mechanism among data producers
taking advantage of the status of DES as the nodal agency and the
authority managing the statistical cadre.
Develop expertise among statistical personnel for independent design of
surveys and studies.
Generate base line data and provide subsequent data sets for carrying
out meaningful evaluation of development programs.
11
Karnataka State Strategic Statistical Plan
Mission of the State Statistical System
12
´
´
´
´
´
To elevate the status of statistics in the eyes of
administrators
To make the state statistical system an indispensable
instrument of the development, regulatory and service
functions of government
To enhance the credibility, comprehensiveness /
completeness, timeliness and usability of statistics within and
outside government
To provide physical infrastructure and to promote human
resource capabilities within the statistical system
To provide easy accessibility to users by adopting modern
technology.
12
Strengths and Weakness of present system
13
´
The statistical personnel are well versed in
manual collection and compilation of data and
presenting it in tables
´
No analysis of data or bringing out analytical
reports.
´
The DES is dependent on personnel of line
departments for carrying out primary statistical
activities
´
Large number of vacant posts
´
DES does not adequately perform as NODAL
agency for statistical activities
13
Implementation Plan
14
Following major activities are included
in KSSSP:
y
Capacity building of personnel of DES and line departments
´
Use of ICT
´
Bringing out analytical reports and dissemination
´

´
DES to perform as NODAL agency
´
Statistical advocacy and Closer interaction with data
producers and users identify new areas where data is required.
´
Meeting effectively, adequately and systematically the
national minimum standards in regard to 20key statistical
activities
14
Human Resources Development
´ There
15
is a total strength of 1648
statistical personnel in
DES and departmental statistical divisions in the state
´ 50%
of these personnel need to be trained in various
subjects every year (36 weeks )
´ Around
2000 personnel of the line departments and DES
need to be trained in 20 key statistical activities (30 weeks
´ Apart
from these training programmes, at least 10
workshops /seminars need to be conducted on different
themes (5 weeks )
´ Efforts
will be made to build the capacity of the personnel
in the analysis and presentation of primary and secondary
data and use of statistical packages
15
