DiscussionThe story behind the news.

India’s statistics ministry invited feedback on 13 November on a committee report about measuring the role of knowledge in the economy. The committee recommends developing separate sets of statistics for different areas and says they should follow the 2025 System of National Accounts.

The report identifies human capital, research and development, the creative economy, artificial intelligence and data as possible priorities. It proposes that sector agencies measure their own areas using a common framework, with state governments and research institutions among the partners.

The ministry will accept feedback from the public and interested organisations through 12 December. The report sets out recommendations for developing the measures.
