The holistic approach was made in this sector to launch a scheme under the banner of Economic Census and surveys in all the States/UTs during 1976 to enter into the unorganized sectors.

The 2nd Economic Census 1980 was synchronized along with the house listing operation of 1981 population census.
The third Economic Census 1990 was conducted along with the house listing operation of 1991 population census. The fourth Economic Census was conducted independently during 1998 keeping in view the increasing demand for data on un organized sectors of the economy and considering the nature of large number of small units which are subjected to high mobility and mortality rate.
