The National Sample Survey (NSS), was initiated on the basis of a
proposal from P.C. Mahalanobis in 1950 to conduct a nation-wide,
large-scale, continuous survey operation conducted in the form of
successive rounds to fill up data gaps for socio-economic planning
and policy making through sample surveys.
In 1970, the NSS was reorganized and
all aspects of its work were brought under a single Government
organization, namely the
National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO). The major activities of the NSSO pertain to
Survey Design, Field Operations, Processing of collected data and
releasing of the results based on surveys. The Survey Design and
Research Division and Data Processing Division have its headquarters
at Kolkata. The
major activities
of NSSO are to carry out socio-economic
surveys,
to undertake field work' for the
Annual Survey of Industries
and
follow-up surveys of Economic Census,
sample checks on area enumeration and crop estimation surveys and to
prepare the urban frames useful in drawing of urban samples, besides
collection of price data from rural and urban sectors.

The Central Research Institute for Jute & Allied Fibres (CRIJAF)
started functioning almost immediately after the partition of India
in
1947. From the
initial years,
CRIJAF scientists developed a
number of high yielding strains and vastly improve their production
technologies. By 1960-61 ultimately enables India to produce enough
|
|
jute and mesta not only to cater all the mills but also to export
raw jute in the world market. This remarkable achievement was
possible only due to the phenomenal efforts made by the scientists
of CRIJAF in
various disciplines like Plant Breeding and Genetics,
Plant Physiology, Soils, Agronomy, Pathology, Entomology, Extension
and other ancillary departments. The latest trend of research in CRIJAF are to improve jute and allied fibre crops (like
mesta,
sunhemp, ramje, sisal and flax) for yield and quality under biotic
and abiotic stresses; to develop economically viable and sustainable
production technology, cropping systems, proper post-harvest
technology for improving the quality of jute _d allied fibre crops;
and to transfer technology and human resource development in
relation to jute and allied fibre crops. Apart from research
activities short-term courses, on-hand trainings and projects also
have been undertaken for development of skills / expertise under
human resource development and resource generation -scheme.
