Addressing a one-day workshop on Economic Census 2019 here on Monday, he said the previous and sixth economic census was held in 2013 during which 42 lakh organisations and units were surveyed. In the latest economic census, up to 60 lakh units will be surveyed.

He said in the last four years, the growth rate in the country might have increased and the same would be reflected in the economic census. “The fieldwork will be completed by September 30 and two months after that, the final report will be prepared,” he explained.
