Which body released the 121st issue of Sarvekshana?

  1. A.National Statistical Commission
  2. B.National Statistical Systems Training Academy
  3. C.Central Statistics Office
  4. D.National Sample Survey Office

Correct answer

B. National Statistical Systems Training Academy

Explanation

The correct answer is the National Statistical Systems Training Academy, usually written as NSSTA, which functions under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. Through the continued publication of this journal the academy encourages research in official statistics, promotes wider application of statistical data and methodological innovation, and strengthens the analytical foundation of evidence-based policymaking. Option A is wrong because the National Statistical Commission is the advisory body that oversees the statistical system and does not bring out this journal. Option C is wrong because the Central Statistics Office is a different arm of the statistical machinery. Option D is wrong because the National Sample Survey supplies much of the data that the journal publishes research on, but the release was made by the training academy. The issue can be accessed on the websites of the ministry and of the academy.
