eLISS Data Collection App 2.3.0

An Android-based application has been developed for data collection, transitioning from a manual, paper-based system utilized by enumerators in the field. This application encompasses all eight schedules of the Integrated Sample Survey (ISS) scheme, meticulously designed to include all pertinent fields and entries. A notable feature of the application is its capability to draw a second-stage sample, specifically households or enterprises, using the list generated in Schedule-II as the sampling frame. Data captured through this app is synchronized with a server by the enumerators, ensuring streamlined data management. Furthermore, the information collected undergoes verification at both the supervisor and district nodal officer levels, with accessibility extended to States and Union Territories for oversight.

Advantages
Comparing eLISS App to traditional paper-based data collection methods reveals several key benefits:

• Real-time survey monitoring
• Enhanced data quality with reduced outlier occurrences
• Facilitated random sample selection
• Simplified storage of large quantities of schedules
