Some departments which are authorised sources/agencies are reluctantto share information when the Directorate of Economics and Statistics conduct survey and collect information from time to time, said the directorate's Director-in-charge Peijonna Kamei.
Speaking to media persons at the DIPR premises, Moirangkhom here today, Peijonna appealed to all the people to cooperate with field investigators of the directorate when they come for surveys.
The directorate sometimes faces difficulties when necessary information are not received at its State-level and district-level offices in time, she said.
Under the Ministry of Statistics' Programme Implementation programme, the directorate has carried out a number of survey including private hospitals, livestock farmers, socio-economic condition, land use pattern etc.
The directorate has also started compiling data for publication of reports, said the Director-in-charge.
She also mentioned that 74 posts have been lying vacant at the directorate.
