Enterprise Census [en/census]
The first known exercise in collecting data on artisanship and processing of primary products was undertaken during the time of Rana Prime Minister Juddha Shumshere Rana. But, it was not a nationwide exercise only concentrated in Kathmandu. Formal data collection of industrial activities on a regular basis was started after established of the Central Bureau of Statistics. Central Bureau of Statistics is a national agency for collection, management and production of statistics under the Statistical Act of 1958. The first Census of Manufacturing Establishments (CME) was carried out in 1964/65 (2022 B.S.). The second census was carried out 8 years later in 1972/73 (2030 B.S.). Thereafter, the CMEs have been carried out in 5 years intervals. The CME covers all units of establishment that engaged 10 or more persons. These units may or may not use power or auto machines in their industrial operations. This coverage is adopted in CMEs since 1991/92. Before 1991/92, i.e., up to the fifth CME, it covers all manufacturing establishments engaging 10 or more persons or using auto machines irrespective of persons engaged.
This CME 2001/02 is the eighth in the series.
The Central Bureau of Statistics has been conducting the Census of Manufacturing Establishment every five year. This report contains the numerical result of CME 2001/02, which is the eighth in the serial. As per the international practice, the industries in this report are classified according to Nepal Standard Industrial Classification (NSIC), which in turn is based on International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC).The objective of the census is to fill the gap of information about the changes taking place in the manufacturing sector of the economy. The census covers all manufacturing establishments engaging 10 or more persons. The reference period for the census was the fiscal year 2001/02.
Ten (10) indicators including number of establishments, number of persons engaged, number of employees, wages and salaries, change in stocks at the end of the year, gross addition to fixed assets, gross fixed assets at the end of the year, census input, census output and census value added are defined as principal indicators. The principal indicator tables of Nepal and Urban/Rural areas are prepared by legal status, ownership, number of persons engaged and size of fixed assets and by NSIC at 4 digit levels in the National Report. But the principal indicator by legal status, ownership, number of persons engaged, and size of fixed assets and by NSIC at 4 digit level are also kept in the District Level report.
The CME-2001/02 reveals that the number of operating establishments has declined in comparison to the last census (1996/1997). Similarly, the number of persons engaged has also declined. However, the census output and value-added has increased during the same period.

Interviews were conducted by trained enumerators of 33 Branch Statistics Offices (BSOs) as 33 teams. The supervision was done jointly by Statistics Officers of BSOs and officials of the Establishment Census and Survey Section (ECSS) of CBS. The role of the BSO officer was to coordinate field data collection activities and Local supervision in their respective districts. The role of the chief of the ECSS of CBS was to manage and coordinate BSO's work, including supplies of survey equipment, finances and Central supervision.
A pilot survey was carried out during the fiscal year 2001/2002 in three districts of each ecological belt.
The census field work carried out with the help of the personnel of the Branch Statistics offices located in 33 districts of the country.
Data processing
A control form was introduced to find out the profit or loss and value added of each establishment. This form was filled by the supervisor of the BSO immediately after completing the interview of the establishment. If any inconsistencies were found during this phase, BSO's Supervisor/Officer contact to respective establishment by telephone to verify the facts. In case no telephone was available then forms were sent back to the respective establishment for verification.
During Data entry, many range checks were introduced to minimize range errors. Some cross checks were used to control errors relating to the universe and pre-question of the entry variable during data entry. One big batch edit file with many edit commands were run and verify the observed missing or overvalued or undervalued data mostly by contacting the respondent of the establishment by telephone.
To establish consistency between the CPC of data recorded in section 9 of the questionnaire and NSIC of section 4, grouping of raw materials and products was made by CPC to make one to one correspondence with NSIC.
Data appraisal
CME 2001/02 data appraisal may be categorized by 3 stages: Pilot survey, during data collection, during entry and processing. A pilot survey was conducted in 2000-01 by covering one district from each ecological belt. A technical committee headed by the Director General of CBS was formed to supervise, suggest, control and review the overall process of the census from questionnaire design to data dissemination.
A control form was used to verify establishment level input-output ratio as well as profit or loss status of the establishment at data collection stage. The data collection work was done only by the experienced permanent staff of CBS and its field offices. They were trained by the census officials of CBS worked in the head office. Statistical officers of branch offices were considered as supervisor of the census.
After entering and editing data in Cs-Pro data entry application, frequencies and percentage distribution of the principal indicators like total number of establishment, total number of persons engaged, total number of employees, value of input, value of output, value added by NSIC, ecological belts, development regions, districts were tabulated and compared with that of the previous census. Further, average output, value added, number of persons engaged, number of employees and fixed asset per establishment were calculated to discuss the final report of the census with the technical committee. The final results were published after the approval the committee.
