This volume brings together the papers presented at the seminar on the ‘Current Status of Socio-Economic Data’, organized by Indian Council of Social Science Research, after they were revised based on comments made by discussants. They seek
to: (i) document as comprehensively as possible the sources and availability of information on different sectors and ocio- economic variables; (ii) assess the quality and reliability of the data as well as their comparability across data-sets and over
time; (iii) report on the form in which data are available and the ease with which they can be put into computer-readable formats.
