The frame of this survey was restricted to manufacturing establishments registered with the Ministry of Industries and the state owned industrial establishments.(i.e. Public Corporations, Departmental undertakings, Govt. owned Business undertakings). The last survey of this series was carried out in 1982. After the Census of Industry conducted in 1983, the ASMI was replaced by the Annual Survey of Industries(ASI) covering Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing and Generation and Distribution of Electricity,Gas and Water. The Industrial frame genareted from the Census of Industry 1983 was used to conduct the series of Annual Survey of Industries from 1984 to 2003.The frame of the new series is the register of industrial establishments which is a byproduct of Census of Industry - 2003 \/ 2004.\nThis survey is the 22th of the ASI series, conducted in 2007 and the reference period is 2006.

However, industrial enterprises which are engaged in production of more than one related activity in one location or one activity in several locations were treated as one unit of enumeration whenever no separate records\nare available. \n\nAny way in the analysis, the ideal definition of the establishment was followed. The information collected of enterprise level was disaggregated into establishment level using the proportion of output. Ancillary units such as warehouses, garages, etc were treated as part of the main establishment.","universe":"All industries with 5 or more persons engaged."},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"ASI is predominantly a postal survey . But staitistical officers are send to the non-responding establishments to get the questionnaires completed.\n\nAll industrial establishments with 5 or more persons as in the Census of Industry 2003 \/ 2004 was the frame (sample population) of ASI. \n\nThe whole frame was divided into two sectors as establishments with 500 or more persons engaged and establishments with \"5 to 499\" persons engaged. All establishments in the 500 or more sector (Census part) and a probability sample of \"5 to 499\" sector (Survey part) were canvassed.\n\nThis survey part was further stratified according to geographical locations, industrial activity and size. Geographical strata were 25 administrative districts. Industrial activities were defined as the industry group levels, 2 digit level of ISIC. The size classes were defined as \"5-9\", \"10-14\", \"15-19\", \"20-24\", \"25-29\", \"30-49\", \"50-99\", \"100-149\", \"150-199\", \"200-299\", \"300-499\", \"500-999\" and \"1000\" according to the number of people engaged and size strata was used where the number engaged exceeds 1000\n\nThere were 446 establishments in the census part and another 1922 were selected for the sample out of 24091 industries. Higher probabilities were given to select rare industries.The sample was selected systematically within the strata.\n\n\n(Pl.see the Technical part under the External Resources)","coll_mode":["Mail Questionnaire [mail]"],"research_instrument":"There were 20 questions in the questionnaire. The first 14 questions were on identification information. Questions 15-18 were on Inputs and Output and question number 19 and 20 were about the Investment and Labour of  the establishmnets. The value of goods moved out, receipt from indutrial services done for others and opening and closing stocks of output were collected to compile the gross output. Input were the addition of value of raw materials consumed for the year 2005, (i.e. Cost of raw materails adjusted for stocks ) and the consumption of Electricity, Fuel and Water. Book value at the begining of the year, gross additions during the year, and Depreciation were canvased under the four components of fixed assets namely, Land, Buildings and Other Constructions, Machinery and Other Equipments and Transport Equipment. The information on employment and earnings, was collected under two sub categories National and Non-Nationals. The number of mail and female national persons engaged were collected seperately, but salaries were canvased only for the total number of employees. In addition to the above non-national employees and their salaries also were canvased.\n\nFurther information extracted from the report : -\n\nOutput\nInformation on output has been collected on shipment basis. The variables canvassed were the value of products moved out from the establishment, value of stocks of finished goods and receipts from industrial services rendered to others.\n\na. Value of products moved out\ni. Value of products made by the establishment using its own raw materials.\nii. Products made by another establishment using material inputs owned by the establishment,\nhave been considered, as the products made by the establishment and the following three\nsituations have been considered as cases of moving out.\ni. sending to another establishment or a person\nii. sending to another branch of the same enterprise\niii.sending abroad\n\nThese products were valued at the price at which the producer disposes of his goods to the customer (i.e. producer's price). All duties and taxes which fell on the products when they leave the establishment are included and subsidies recovered are excluded. Price rebates, discounts and allowances on returned goods allowed to the customer have been deducted and any transport charges which may be invoiced to the purchaser or user have been excluded. Products released to other establishments of the same enterprise have been treated as though sold and valued at producer's prices.\n\nb. Stocks of finished goods\nThe values of stocks of finished goods at the beginning and at the end of the year 2006 have been collected.
