STATISTICS
is one of the tools for decision making process in the expanding area of
development programmes. The State Government has amalgamated all Statistical
work of Agriculture, Public Health and administration & intelligence
section from the Secretariat Department. A separate department was formed
in 1955 as State Statistical Bureau. Subsequently the State Statistical
Bureau was designated as the Directorate of Statistics in 1961. In recognition
of increased responsibilities and the vital role the department was redesignated
in 1968 as Bureau of Economics and Statistics and accordingly declared as
a major Technical Department in 1969.
Recognising the role, the Bureau had to play in the evolution of a sound
statistical system. The State Government accorded the DES a status of a
NODAL AGENCY in 1982 for all statistical activities in the state. The nomenclature
of the department was once again changed in 1984 as the Directorate of Economics
and Statistics.
