    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Jan 7 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; The Ministry of Statistics &amp;amp; Programme Implementation (MoSPI), Government of India, has announced a significant initiative aimed at expanding the scope and reach of its sample surveys through the empanelment of private Survey Institutions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;The Request for Proposal (RFP) document, referenced under CPP Tender ID 2024_MSPI_781465_1 and issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO), invites proposals from private institutions interested in partnering with the government for conducting nationwide surveys on socio-economic indicators.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;The NSO's Survey Wing plays a vital role in gathering data on socio-economic topics by conducting extensive household and enterprise surveys across India. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;These surveys provide critical insights into various sectors, guiding the formulation of policies and supporting decision-making at the government level. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;To further strengthen its data collection capabilities and enhance the diversity of its surveys, the NSO is opening up the opportunity for private survey institutions to join as partners in this endeavour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;The empanelment process will help the NSO leverage the expertise and resources of these private institutions, allowing for a wider reach and more comprehensive coverage of socio-economic data across the country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;This collaboration is expected to improve the overall quality and breadth of data collection efforts, ultimately contributing to more informed policy-making.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;The submission deadline for proposals has been extended to 5:00 PM on January 13, 2025. Interested institutions are required to submit their proposals in hard copy or physical mode to the designated address specified in the RFP document. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;Institutions wishing to participate in the process can access the RFP document and submission guidelines on the official MoSPI website at &lt;a href=&quot;https://mospi.gov.in&quot; style=&quot;color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;https://mospi.gov.in&lt;/a&gt; or through the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) at &lt;a href=&quot;https://eprocure.gov.in/epublish/app&quot; style=&quot;color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;eprocure.gov.in&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;MoSPI encourages eligible institutions and agencies to submit their bids and looks forward to a wide range of participation in this crucial initiative, noting that no further extensions will be granted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
