Dharamshala, Oct 30 (UNI) The National Statistical Office (NSO), Dharamshala, will conduct a series of socio-economic surveys in Kangra and Chamba districts of Himachal Pradesh during November to collect data on employment, migration, household income, credit, investment and unorganised sector enterprises.
Assistant Director of the NSO Sub-Regional Office, Dharamshala, Simran said trained officials would undertake fieldwork in selected rural and urban areas of the two districts.
She said the data collected through these surveys would provide an important basis for government policy formulation, evaluation of development plans and assessment of various welfare schemes.

Twenty sample units have been selected, including eight villages in Kangra and four in Chamba district.

The Migrant Survey will cover four sample units — Ghurkadi Khas, Tatehal and Reserve Forest Masroor Juni in Kangra district and Batara village in Chamba district. It will examine the reasons behind migration for employment, education, marriage and better living conditions, besides assessing its socio-economic impact.
Under the National Household Income Survey, Bangoli Nichli village in Kangra and Chandru and Goli villages in Chamba have been selected to collect information on household income and living conditions.
Similarly, Jarpal and Bagh villages in Kangra, Chari village in Chamba and the urban area of Dharamshala have been selected for a survey to assess credit and investment patterns, land ownership, agriculture and livestock-related activities.
The Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises will assess the economic and employment conditions of enterprises engaged in manufacturing, trade and other services. Data on employment, wages, profits and losses, and outstanding loans will be collected from Nerna village in Kangra, Shiunwai village in Chamba, and the urban areas of Palampur, Jawali and Chamba.
