Methodology
The Census 2001 data has been used to understand the demographic profile, infrastructure availability and educational achievements at various levels. Data from the National Sample Surveys (NSSO 55th and 61st Rounds) have been used to analyze issues relating to employment, education, consumption patterns and levels of poverty. Banking data was received from different sources such as the Reserve Bank of India, National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development, Small Industry Development Bank of India, National Minority Development and Finance Corporation and National Backward Classes and Finance Development Corporation. Corroborative data was also obtained from government commissions and organisations such as National Backward Classes Commission, State Backward Classes Commission and National Council of Educational Research and Training. Finally data from sources such as ministries, departments, public sector undertakings, universities and colleges were used in preparing this report.

Famous quotes containing the word methodology:
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
