The Directorate of Economics & Statistics, J&K has grown out of the nucleus of a “Statistical Section” consisting of one Research Officer, One Research Superintendent and two Senior Assistants in the Planning Department. The first expansion took place in 1957 when a Survey Section consisting of one Statistician, one Statistical Assistant and four Field Investigators was set up. This was followed, a little latter, by creation of a few more posts and designating the unit as “Statistical Bureau” with the staff strength of twenty officials.
The Directorate of Economics & Statistics, as it is now, was set up in 1967-68 and since then Organization has grown both vertically and horizontally.
