When does National Sample Survey (NSS) started collecting data on births and deaths ?

  • A.1950 - 51
  • B.1954 - 55
  • C.1956 - 57
  • D.1958 - 59

Answer: D

The official key gives 1958 - 59 as the period when the National Sample Survey began collecting data on births and deaths.

The NSS began in 1950 with rounds on consumption, land holdings and employment, and added fertility and mortality enquiries in later rounds. I could not confirm the round from an independent source, so the answer rests on the key.

The earlier periods (1950 - 51, 1954 - 55 and 1956 - 57) belong to rounds that dealt chiefly with other subjects, and for that reason they are the weaker choices.
