Series Information
The NSSO, since its inception in 1950, has played a major role in providing the socio-economic data needed- from all spheres of life-to formulate of a vibrant plan for social and economic development. In this endeavour, NSS has collected, inter-alia, a series of data on non-agricultural enterprises, particularly those belonging to the unorganised sector. In this series, information on unorganised service sector enterprises have been collected in the 57th round of NSSo, conducted during 2001-02.
In the early periods, the household-based non-agricultural activities, irrespective of their scale of operations, were covered in the surveys of NSSO. Subsequently, the need for segmentation of non-agriculture sector into organised and non-organised, and also into sectors of economic activity was felt necessary for the collection of meaningful data. The enterprises registered under Factories Act, 1948 (known as organised sector) and engaged in manufacturing activity, were then separately covered and surveyed by the Central Statistical Organisation. The non-household based units in the unorganised sector thus remained out side the coverage, primarily due to nonavailability of a better frame and background information needed for formulating an efficient sampling design.
In order to meet the requirements of surveys on enterprises and others, a countrywide Economic Census (EC), the first of its kind, was undertaken in 1977 under the aegis of the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO). Following this census, small establishments and enterprises not employing any hired worker on a fairly regular basis (known as Own Account Enterprises (OAEs)) engaged in manufacturing and repairing activities were surveyed in 33rd round of NSS during 1978-79.
Subsequently, a series of Economic Censuses have been conducted by extending the scope of earlier Censuses during 1980 and 1990 followed by the enterprise surveys of NSSO during 1984–1985 (NSS 40th round), 1989–1990 (NSS 45th round), and 1994-1995 (NSS 51st round). The OAEs and Non-Directory Establishments (NDEs) were covered in NSS 40th and 45th round surveys, whereas the Directory Establishments (DEs) were surveyed separately by the CSO. However, in the 51st round, all the OAEs, NDEs and DEs engaged in manufacturing and repairing activities were covered by the NSS.
The latest EC, the fourth in the series, was conducted by the CSO during 1998. As a follow-up survey of this EC, a survey on unorganised manufacturing was conducted during the 56th round (July 2000-June 2001). In this survey, information from the 1998 EC was used for stratification and the EC list of villages and blocks was used as frame for selection of first stage units as far as possible. It may be worth mentioning that a survey on unincorporated proprietary and partnership enterprises, known as informal sector, was carried out along with the uinquennial surveys on ‘Consumer Expenditure’ and ‘Employment & Unemployment’ in NSS 55th round (July 1999-June 2000). The Population Census villages and UFS blocks were used as sampling frame in that round. The current survey, NSS 57th round, is on the unorganised service sector enterprises excluding trading and financial enterprises. The survey was carried out during July 2001 - June 2002 and the information was collected from the selected enterprises more or less on the lines of NSS 55th round. In this survey, the information of EC-`98 has been used for selection of units.

Abstract
As usual, NSSO conducted an integrated survey of enterprises and households in its 57th round during July 2001 to June 2002. The main focus of the survey was on the unorganised enterprises belonging to the service sector and the information was collected through Schedule 2.345 designed for the purpose. A copy of the schedule is given in Appendix C of the NSS Report No. 482 available under External Resources. In addition,a survey on household consumer expenditure including some key characteristics on employment-unemployment was carried out during this period.
The main aim of the survey on unorganised service sector enterprises was to estimate size in terms of the total number enterprises, employment, fixed assets, operating expenses, receipts, value added, loans, gross value added per worker, etc. Information on other attributes like type of ownership, type of operation, number of months of operation, whether carrying out mixed/multiple activity, whether accounts maintained, etc. was also collected. The results pertaining to size, employment and economic indicators of the enterprises have been brought out in the first of two reports - the NSS Report No. 482: Unorganised Service Sector in India: 2002-03 - Salient Features. The second report presents the size and employment in brief, and the characteristics of the enterprises in terms of ownership, social group of owner, type of operation, months of operation, whether accounts maintained, nature of problems faced, etc.

Coverage
Geographic Coverage
The survey covered the whole of the Indian Union except (i) Leh and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir, (ii) villages in Nagaland situated beyond 5 km of a bus route, (iii) inaccessible villages of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and (iv) some of the villages and blocks (numbering less than 0.1% of the total) where EC-'98 could not be conducted. Thus the corresponding State/UT level estimates and the All-India results presented in report number two relate to the areas under survey coverage.
Universe
All unorganised service sector enterprises engaged in the activities of hotels and restaurants (Tabulation Category H of NIC 98); transport, storage and communication (I); real estate, renting and business activities (K); education (M); health and social work (N) and other community, social and personal service activities (O). The survey did not cover the service sector enterprises pursuing the activities of wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and personal and household goods (G); financial intermediation (J); public administration and defence (L); private households with employed persons (P) and extra-territorial organisations and bodies (Q).

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sample Design: A stratified sampling design was adopted for selection of the sample first-stage units (FSUs). The FSUs were villages (Panchayat wards in Kerala) in rural areas and UFS blocks in urban areas. The ultimate stage units (USUs) were enterprises for the survey on unorganised service sector enterprises. Within the entire FSU, all big nonagricultural enterprises having 200 or more workers were separately listed (segment 9) and the schedule was canvassed in all the enterprises that were eligible for survey among them. Relatively larger FSUs were sub-divided into smaller parts called hamlet-groups in the rural areas and sub-blocks in the urban. Three hamlet-groups, one with the maximum number of substratum specific enterprises (called 'segment 1') and two more selected at random (together called 'segment 2') were taken for the survey.The USUs were selected independently from each of these segments. A detailed discussion on the sample design and estimation procedure followed in the survey is given in Appendix B of report 483 available under the external resources section.
A total of 15869 first stage units (6513 census villages and 9356 blocks of Urban Frame Survey) were selected for this survey. The number of sample villages and blocks allotted for survey and actually surveyed are given in report 483, in Statement 1, and the number of enterprises surveyed in Statement 2, for different states. The number of enterprises surveyed for various tabulation categories is given in Statement 3 for all-India only.

Response Rate
At the beginning, it may be noted that in the survey, the information was collected from about 244 thousand enterprises spread over entire India, of which slightly fewer than 93 thousand (38 %) enterprises were located in the rural sector. Moreover, 70 per cent of the enterprises surveyed were OAEs which did not employ any hired workers on a regular basis. This proportion was slightly higher in the rural areas (77 %) as compared to the urban areas (65%).
Weighting
For generating sub-sample wise estimates : Actual multiplier = reported multiplier/100.
For generating sub-sample combined estimates : Actual multiplier = reported multiplier/100 if NSC = NSS, and Actual multiplier = reported multiplier/200 if NSC > NSS
where NSS and NSC are sub-sample wise and combined NS counts respectively.
For more information, see the document on organization of data 'Neworgdata572' in technical documents under external resources.
