The NSSO/Labour Bureau series “Wage Rates in Rural India” is compiled by the NSSO and the Labour Bureau, Shimla. NSSO compiles these data and publishes them in “Prices and Wages in Rural India (New Series)”. Labour Bureau publishes the same data in the Indian Labour Journal and separately in a publication called the “Wage Rates in Rural India”.

Yoshifumi Usami has very kindly contributed monthly WRRI data for selected occupations that he digitised.

The data are available here. Data taken from here should be cited as follows:
