520			_aSocial Sector development has always been an important goal of development planning in India. A sound system for collection of Socio-economic Statistics is vital for the effective development of social policy, for informed decision-making on policy issues and for evaluation of the impact of social and economic policies. This has become all the more important in the context of economic liberalisation programmes currently underway in the country. As the nodal department for the official statistics, it has been the endeav our of the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) in the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MOS&PI) to make available such statistics and indicators for the use of planners, policy makers, academicians, researchers and public at large. Keeping this objective in view, CSO is bringing out a publication entitled "Selected Socio-Economic Statistics India" on a regular basis. In view of the utility of this publication, expressed by various users, it has now been made an annual publication. The present issue is ninth in the series of this publication. Efforts have been consistently made to improve the coverage, content and presentation of the publication and make it more users friendly. With this aim in view a number of new graphs and charts have been incorporated. Though the issue pertains to the year 2000, few tables based on the available results of the latest Population Census, 2001, have also been incorporated to enhance the usefulness of the publication.
