INDIA HAS A LARGE AND DIVERSE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DATABASE WHICH, ALTHOUGH IT COMPARES WELL WITH THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN OTHER DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, IS CHARACTERIZED BY A NUMBER OF INADEQUACIES. TO ADDRESS THESE AND RELATED PROBLEMS OF ACCESS CURRENT AND HISTORICAL INFORMATION, THE INDIAN COUNCIL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH ORGANIZED A SEMINAR ON THE CURRENT STATUS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA` AT THE INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE, NEW DELHI IN 1997. THIS VOLUME BRINGS TOGETHER THE PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE SEMINAR.
