This initiative focuses on the digitization of India’s historical labor records from the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI), Part II, spanning 1960–2000. These records, previously inaccessible, offer monthly data on critical labor metrics—working days, man-days, absenteeism, turnover, and earnings. By digitizing and preserving these datasets, this project transforms them into a publicly accessible data product hosted on the Labor Bureau’s website.
