INTEGRATED SAMPLE SURVEY SOLUTIONS(eLISS) FOR MAJOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS
The Animal Husbandry Statistics (AHS) Division of Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying (DAHD) is entrusted with the generation of Animal Husbandry Statistics through the Centrally Sponsored Scheme “Livestock Census and Integrated Sample Survey”. The scheme is being implemented by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying through State Animal Husbandry Departments. Under this scheme, the quantum of four major livestock products (MLPs) like Milk, Egg, Meat and Wool is estimated based on the annual sample survey namely “Integrated Sample Survey” both at National and State level. This has been an essential survey to measure the contribution of livestock sector and its products in the total economy. The survey is carried out in the entire country covering 36 States/UTs both in rural and urban areas. The survey period is from March to February and the entire period of one year is divided into three seasons namely summer, rainy and winter having four months period each. This helps in bringing up progressive estimates of aggregates and also takes care of seasonality if any in the characters under study.
eLISS Software
In this survey, the traditional approach of using paper schedules for filling-in information at field level is replaced by the Computer Aided Personal interviewing (CAPI) method. The data is being directly entered into tablets/handsets from the filed by the enumerator using a specialized software developed by the department in collaboration with ICAR-IASRI under the project “Integrated Sample Survey Solution for Major Livestock Products” started in 2019.
The software consists of a web portal and an android based application “eLISS” which is launched in 2021 first time to collect MLP data in digitized mode. This development will help in bringing out reliable and consistent estimates of production of livestock products on timely basis. The webportal consists of a data selection module for selecting first stage units in accordance with sampling design and a data analysis module using which disaggregated as well National and State/UT level estimates can be generated. On the other hand, the mobile application contains all the eight schedules of Integrated Sample Survey in digitized format.
The software has GIS module under which thematic maps will be generated. This feature will help to produce National level, State level and district level maps of production estimates of MLPs.
