Series Information
The Department of Census and Statistics started to conduct its series of Annual Survey of Manufacturing
Industries (ASMI) in 1979 with reference year as the previous year 1978. 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). The frame of the new series was the register of industrial
establishments which was a by-product of Census of Industry - 1983
This survey is the 13th of the ASI series, conducted in 1997 and the reference period is 1996. The report contains
the important industrial indicators relevant to the whole frame (all establishments with 5 or more workers). The sample data are inflated and the non response is adjusted.

Abstract
The Department of Census and Statistics continues to conduct the Annual Survey of Industries which commenced in 1984, replacing the Annual Survey of Manufacturing Industries and covers all activities categorized under the three industrial divisions, namely : Mining & Quarrying, Manufacturing and Distribution of Electricity, Gas and Water.
This survey helps to derive estimates for important industrial indicators in respect of all the industrial establishments that have been included in the register of industrial establishments for the year 1998.
Information had to be adjusted for non-responding establishments and the sample data inflated.
The Objectives of the Annual Survey of Industries are:
1. To provide indicators of the performance and the structure of the industrial sector.
2. To update the list of industrial establishments already available.

Unit of Analysis
Industrial establishments
Statistical unit of ASI is the establishment which is defined as a unit engaged in the single or related activities of Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing and Generation and Distribution of Electricity, Gas and Water in one location under a single ownership or control. 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
are available. Any 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 establishments.

Scope
Notes
The scope of the ASI covers all the activities categorized under three industry divisions namely,
Mining and Quarrying,
Manufacturing and
Generation and Distribution of Electricity, Gas and Water
of the International Standard Industrial classification Revision 2 (ISIC) of the United Nations. All private sector establishments with 5 or more persons engaged, state owned industries and industries coming within the purview of Board of Investment have been covered in this survey. However, due to financial limitations and the none availability of a proper frame, the establishments with less than 5 persons engaged were not covered.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sampling Procedure
ASI is predominantly a postal survey . But Statistical Officers are send to the non responding establishments to get the questionnaires completed.
All industrial establishments with 5 or more persons engaged is the target population of ASI. The list of industries with 5 or more persons as in the Census of Industry - 1983 was the frame ( sample population ) of ASI.
The whole frame was divided into two sectors as establishments with 25 or more persons engaged and establishments with 5-24 persons engaged. All establishments in the 25 or more sector ( census part ) and probability sample of 5 to 24 sector (survey part ) were canvassed. The census part of the frame updated from time to time and the survey part remained unchanged.
The survey part was further stratified according to the geographical locations, industrial activity and size. Geographical strata were 24 administrative districts. Industrial activities were defined as the industry group levels (4 digit level of ISIC]. The persons engaged size classes which were defined as 5-9, 10-14 and 15-24 persons engaged, were used as the size strata.
There were approximately 2500 establishments in the census part and approximately another 2500 were selected for the sample out of about 12000 industries. Higher probabilities were given to select rare industries. The sample was selected systematically within the strata.
The estimated value of a variable was given by (pl see the report Sample design section)
Y(hat) = (Sigma i=1 to 24[Sigma j=1 to 84[Sigma k=1 to 3 Nijk Yijk

Response Rate
Non response adjustments
It was tried to collect information from all the establishments with over 500 million rupees output. The non responses of the sample were automatically imputed when applying weights. The other establishments were imputed using previous year's information whenever available or, otherwise using either the district or province averages of the category to which the establishments belongs.

Mail Questionnaire [mail]
Supervision
The questionnaires and instruction manual along with covering letter were posted to each establishments. However,
the most instances, the statistical officers (SO) of the department compel to visit the non responding establishments
quite a number of times to get the questionnaire completed. The collection of accurate data from industrial
establishment is very tedious and time consuming. Sometimes officers had to visit them several times in order to get
a good response.

Reference period of the survey was the calendar year (i.e. 1st of January to 31st of December). But in some cases establishments keep records not for the calendar year but for the financial year. (1st of April of current year to 31st of March the following year) In those situations, financial year data were accepted when there was no significant difference between the two 1st quarters of both years. Otherwise estimates for the calendar year were accepted.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
There were 18 questions in the questionnaire. The first 12 questions were on identification information. Questions
13-16 were on inputs and output and question number 17 and 18 were about the investment and labor of the
establishments.
The value of goods moved out, receipt of industrial services done for others and opening and closing stocks of output were collected to compile the gross output.
Inputs were the addition of value of raw materials consumed of the year 1996. (i.e. Cost of raw materials adjusted for stocks ) and the consumption of electricity, fuel and water. Book value at the beginning of the year, gross additions during the year, and Depreciation were canvassed under the four components of fixed assets namely, Land, Building and Other Constructions, Machinery and Other Equipment 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 separately, but salaries were canvassed only for the total number of employees. In addition to the above non-national employees and their salaries also were canvassed.
Further information extracted from the report : -
Output
Information 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.

i. Contract and Commission work done for others on materials owned by them,
ii. Repairs and installation work done for others,
iii. Sales of scraps and refuses,
iv. Own account investment work, have been included here.
d. Value of output
The value of output was obtained from the value of shipments and other receipts of Industrial
Services adjusted for changes in the values of stocks of finished goods during the reference
period. Value of Output = (Value of products moved out) +
(Closing stocks of finished goods) - (Opening stocks of finished goods) + (Receipts from Industrial Services)
