Speaking at the inaugural function as chief guest, Ibobi stated that Economics and Sta- tistics is a key Government department though it is little known to the public.
It is the data collected by the department's staff which are used as primary source for calculating the State's Gross State Domestic Prod- uct (GSDP).
Noting that the building inaugurated today would be a motivation for the depart- ment's staff to work more regularly, the Chief Minister highlighted the need to strengthen the department by recruiting more staff.
He continued that the Gov- ernment would look into the possibility of regularising the service of all Primary Inves- tigators who are presently working on contract basis.
Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam who presided the function asserted that meaningful development can- not be realised until and un- less there is proper planning.
The system of five-year plans was adopted by the Government of India after acknowledging the need for proper planning for speedy development of the country as a whole.
For planning to be realistic and result-oriented, collection of correct data is crucial, Gaikhangam remarked.
RD&PR and Economics and Statistics Minister Fran- cis Ngajokpa stated that MSRRDA is currently engag- ing in constructing office of the Institute of Rural Devel- opment Agency at Porompat near Imphal East DC com- plex.
The Chief Minister later released a report on Eco- nomic Survey Manipur 2015-16.Principal Secretary (Economics and Statistics) SH Khan and Principal Secretary (Cooperation) Moses Chalai were also present at the function.
