National Statistical Commission

National Statistical Commission:-

 The Government of India through a resolution dated 1st June, 2005 set up the National Statistical Commission (NSC). The Setting up of the NSC followed the decision of the Cabinet to accept the recommendation of the Rangarajan Commission, which reviewed the Indian Statistical System in 2001.
It is an Autonomous Body 
Headquarters:- New Delhi
Chairmain(NSC):- Prof. Bimal Kumar Roy
Formed:- July 12 2006
The NSC was Constituted with effect from 12th July 2006 with a mandate to evolve policies, priorities and standards in statistical matters.

 The NSC has Four Members besides a Chairperson, each having specialization and experience in specified statistical fields.

The Objective of its constitution is to reduce the problems faced  by statistical agencies in the country in relation to collection of data.

 Statistical agencies like the Central Statistical Office(CSO) and The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) face numerous problems in collecting data from State and Central Government departments, But An Autonomous body like NSC is thought to be more able to coordinate things as a Statutory status would lend it teeth.

 It would lay special emphasis on ensuring collection of unbiased data so as to restore public trust in the figures released by the Government.
