The surveys of NSSO are conducted as rounds, which refer to the period during which a survey is held (usually from July to June of 12 months duration). The most important of the NSSO survey is on Employment and Unemployment called employment-unemployment surveys (EUS) or labour force surveys, these surveys are held every five years and are also therefore called as quinquennial surveys.
The publications of NSSO include a journal called Sarvekshana and many reports, which are released as numbered reports. The NSSO also conducts quinquennial surveys focussed on individual unorganised sectors (e.g. manufacturing, trade and services, hotel and restaurants, transportation, etc.), called as unorganised sector surveys.These surveys are conducted as follow-up surveys based on the frame generated by the Economic Censuses conducted by the CSO and hence their reports are also known as the Follow-up Survey (FuS; same as follow-up enterprise surveys) reports.
