ICSSR Data Access Scheme for PhD Scholars

Applications are invited from PhD students in universities and colleges for one year access to EPWRF India Time Series (EPWRFITS) for use in their doctoral research. This is to promote Social Science Research through Online Time Series Data Services.
While all Indian Council for Social Science Research (ICSSR) institutes access EPWRFITS under a separate scheme, this scheme would enable wider access of PhD students outside the ICSSR institutes to the EPWRFITS. The scheme is expected to greatly help research scholars of universities and colleges who do not have easy access to such data.
 This scheme has the following highlights:
·         (i) Up to 50 PhD scholars will be given access to the India Time Series every year
·         (ii) Access will be to students outside the ICSSR institutes
·         (iii) PhD scholars can request access to any 5 of the modules of their choice which are given below and EPWRF will provide on-line access for a period of one year.
On-line Modules
·         (i) Financial Markets
·         (ii) Banking Statistics
·         (iii) Domestic Product of States of India
·         (iv) Price Indices
·         (v) Agricultural Statistics
·         (vi) Power Sector
·         (vii) Industrial Production
·         (viii) Finances of State Governments
·         (ix) Combined Government Finances
·         (x) National Accounts Statistics
·         (xi) Annual Survey of Industries
·         (xii) External Sector
·         (xiii) Finances of the Government of India
In order to assist in the processing of applications the scholar should state his/her research area. The Application form can be downloaded from our website and may be processed through your research guide/department. For further details about the modules the prospective applicant can access a demo version by a simple free registration.
