[@siguramrohith6442]

avuna ok. 😁😁😁😁😁

Thank you for explaining it so well. I have a query related to the recent NSS round data that's been released. I followed a similar process as shared by you in the video but while extracting data for level 2 and 11, after creating dictionary files for these levels I was unable to extract data. Some error showed up. Also, for level 5, the extracted data had one less observation as compared to the number of records mentioned in the readme file. Could you please guide?

[@urvashi1659]

I have no words to say you thank you. Very informative and helpful video 🙏

[@DrAmitKumar-iv3zz]

Thanks for uploading this useful video. I think this is the only video on youtube regarding NSSO data extraction. Would like to learn various techniques of NSSO data analysis from you.

[@RashiJain-ue8zw]

Thank you for creating video on such an important topic. Sir, the data I am downloading from website is not having files similar to yours and therefore, I ain't able to follow your guided steps. I request you to kindly make a video of downloading the data from Mospi site and guide us which all files to use. Thank you so much again.

I used a curly bracket from the line after dictionary to the end of the data, a line appeared parallel to the data on left hand side, and now dictionary file is working

Very informative and useful. I would suggest if you can say if the process is the same for ASI or Economic Census. If yes can be please show the process for ASI data.

[@DataOperationsandResearch]

The process is majorly same. Read the readme file correctly and you should be able to extract the ASI data.

Thanks for this video! I am getting one less than the number of observations for all the blocks. What could have gone wrong?

[@mahtabalam379]

Sir, I am trying to extract NSSO75th round, follow all procedure but it shows dictionary is invalid..

[@urvashisirohi6147]

for the 75th round, i am getting one observation less for the first level only. Can you verify?

[@DataOperationsandResearch]

You have correctly extracted the data, this one observation less problem is the problem of the dataset. Everyone who correctly extracts the data will get one less observation.

[@kasturisadhu]

Thanks for the video. But i am surprised to see that when extracting NSSO data in stata, 'the observed data read' shows in the stata screen is just one less than the no. of records shown in the readme file for all the levels in 73rd round data. I am using sata 11. Can you pls tell me what could be the problem? I am extracting the NSSO data for the first time following your video.

[@kasturisadhu]

Is it possible that stata considers the first row of the data as the variable and not data due to the stata setting? In that case then, how do i chage the stata settings?

[@DataOperationsandResearch]

I don't think that you are doing anything wrong. Sometimes, the number of observations given by the NSS is wrong. The same problem is there in NSS 75th round. So, you don't neet to worry. If you are following the correct method, then your results are correct. Also, I will check it once and update my comment if this is not the case.

[@kasturisadhu]

@@DataOperationsandResearch 73rd round contaons 2 semirounds data, is the problem is because that?

I can make video on how to do regression, however, the problem is that there are so many possible regressions that it can't be covered in a video. But surely, will try to cover some regressions and also explain how to do other regressions.

Thanks a lot for the video! Can you also make a video on extracting NSSO data in R?

[@navaneethms]

Can this be used for 74th round on education as well?

Yes, the process is the same. Just carefully read the readme and schedule file.

[@priyankadcbsite]

Hi, first of all great video! Thanks a ton! You explained it quite clearly. I was actually struggling with one thing. While extracting the 75th round NSSO data for social consumption health survey data, the level 2 file has far less observations than what is specified in the readme file (65081 instead of 113823). I have followed the steps as mentioned in the video, and have verified it multiple times, but getting the same result every time. Could you please help me out with this? Thankyou!!

[@priyankadcbsite]

the same problem is coming in some of the other levels too. Is it because of missing data in those observations?

[@DataOperationsandResearch]

You have correctly extracted the data. The NSSO has made mistake and put one extra observation. So, don't worry, you have correctly extracted the data.

[@varunsharma4708]

@@DataOperationsandResearch hi Same here ! i have used the method as shown in the video and while extracting data i am getting only one record less ! total records in read me file for level is 113,823 and I am getting 113,822. Don't know where I am getting wrong. Further checking the Rural / Urban HH, this one record is less in urban HH. Please suggest if you have any idea.
