This Compendium of Environment Statistics 2013 published by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is the fourteenth edition of its series and covers five core parameters - biodiversity, atmosphere, land/soil, water and human settlements.

This latest edition of the annual statistical year book published by the Central Statistics Office provides data sets on the various facets of the economy of the country and the vital social aspects like housing, health, environment, infrastructure, tourism, and agriculture too.

The present state of the environment with regard to climate change is reflected in the condition of the atmosphere and hydrological system of the earth. The various initiatives taken by CSO since 1997 have led to collection, compilation and dissemination of Statistics related to Environment and a regular annual publication titled “Compendium of Environment Statistics” is brought out. As discussions on climate change took centre stage, it was decided to put together data sets related to climate change in accordance with the framework developed by CSO.

This new report published by Central Statistical Organisation under the Ministry of Statistics provides state-wise estimates of value output of agricultural crops, livestock products, forestry and fisheries with base year as 2004-05.
