The seventy-third round of NSS is devoted exclusively to survey on economic and operational characteristics of unincorporated non-agricultural enterprises in manufacturing, trade and other services sector (excluding construction). In Indian economy, unincorporate sector is important because of the large number of enterprises in this sector and the magnitude of employment it provides to unskilled and semi-skilled persons, besides its contribution to Gross Domestic Product. This will help National Accounts Division (NAD) of Central Statistics Office to compute important components of national accounts. Specially designed three digit product codes introduced for the first time in the enterprise schedule of this round will help NAD to also make use of the survey results in preparation of Supply-Use Table. The data to be collected in this round will help in meeting the requirements of different Ministries, Organizations and researchers in general and also of: (i) National Skill Development Agency in measuring extent of skilled manpower engaged in this sector, (ii) Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in deriving distribution of enterprises by investment in plant, machinery and equipments, (iii) "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" in measuring access to toilets in workplace and waste management prevailing in the unicorporate sector enterprises, in particular.
