Darjeeling30 Sep 2013: The
sixth economic census for the year 2012-13 kicked-off in Darjeeling
today as the recent statehood agitation had delayed it for a while.
However, the initial training programme for enumerators started some
time back.
Briefing media persons, additional
district magistrate (general) Kaushik Bhattacharya said, “We have
started the sixth economic census in the Darjeeling hills. We appeal to
all to cooperate with the enumerators and extend all information
possible.”
The last such census was conducted between 2005 and 2007 and lots of changes had to be updated. “There had been lots of changes given the mushrooming of business firms and companies in the hills. The government needs to remain updated so that proper planning in terms of development can be undertaken,” said Bhattacharya.
The census is being conducted under the Bureau of Applied Economic and Statistic Department for identifying the number of business establishments in the hills that are generating revenue. The data collected will be under the Collection of Statistic Act, 2008.
“The data collected will be useful to the government for its development planning purposes,” said Satakratu Ray, assistant director of BAE&S, Darjeeling.(EOI)
