  34. THE SPECIAL TABLES WERE TO REFLECT MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF DATA AT ALL INDIA LEVEL. • ALL-INDIA REPORT -TWO VOLUMES- VOLUME-I OF THE REPORT -BASED ON THE DATA COLLECTED THROUGH ESTABLISHMENT LIST AS WAS DONE IN EARLIER CENSUS.

  35. VOLUME-II OF REPORT - BASED ON THE DATA COLLECTED THROUGH HOUSE LIST SCHEDULE AND ADDRESS SLIP. • VOLUME-II OF THE REPORT CONTAINS LIST OF UNITS CLASSIFIED BY VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS LIKE TYPE OF STRUCTURE, ADDRESS OF THE ESTABLISHMENTS EMPLOYING 10 OR MORE WORKERS. • VOLUME-II TO BE PUBLISHED IN SOFT FORM.

  36. FUTURE PLAN AND KEY ISSUES • ECONOMIC CENSUS CAN FORM THE BASIS FOR BUISNESS REGISTER IN INDIA. • FIRST STEP HAS BEEN MADE IN LATEST EC-2005 IN THE FORM OF PREPARATION OF “DIRECTORY OF ESTABLISHMENTS OF 10 OR MORE WORKERS”. • DISCUSSIONS ARE GOING ON AS TO HOW TO MAKE EC DATA MORE USEFUL FOR PLANNERS,RESEARCHERS AND OTHER USERS. • DELIBERATIONS OF WORKSHOP AT SEOUL MAY PERHAPS THROW SOME LIGHT IN THIS DIRECTION WHICH WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR INDIA.
