Tóm tắt:As institutions of local self-governments, rural and urban local bodies require dependable data base for carrying out mandated tasks effectively. Though the importance of local level statistics for decentralised planning has been emphasised by various Committees and Study, even today there is no standardised system for the same. Every Five Year Plan documents in Kerala repeatedly states that there would be a thorough revamping of all on-going schemes and institutions, but no significant changes have taken place despite rapid changes in the socio- economic condition.

Yet even now nearly 40 per cent of the statistical personnel in the state are engaged in the collection of agricultural statistics. Therefore, the State Government and the State Planning Board have to take urgent steps to re- organise the statistical system in the state to build up data base at local government level and for their aggregation at block, district and state levels.
