Introduction 
     
 The Handbook on non-profit institutions in the system of national accounts 
recommends statistical standards and guidelines for the development of data on Non 
Profit Institutions (NPIs) with in the System of National Accounts (SNA). The 
fundamental aim of the Handbook is to answer to the growing interest that statisticians, 
policy makers and social scientists have in organizations that are neither market firms 
nor state agencies. It has been prepared to help national statistical offices to collect and 
provide more comprehensive data on nonprofit institutions in an attempt to respond the 
analytical needs of policy makers who are searching for ways to improve public 
services and reduce the size of the government. Because of their distinctive features as 
private institutions serving the public purposes, they offer advantages which explain 
recent initiatives to promote NPIs and increase the need for better information on this 
set of institutions and the role that they play in particular fields (health, education, 
social services) 
  The Handbook gives guidelines for the establishment of a NPI satellite account 
by regrouping those non profit units that are assigned to other institutional sectors in the 
SNA together with those of the existing  (but not fulfilled by all countries) the non 
profit institutions serving households sector into one single NPI sector. 
 
1.1 Main features of the Handbook on Nonprofit Institutions in the system of    	
National Accounts:	 
  
Definition of the Non Profit Institutions 
      The SNA defines NPI as: 
  “Non Profit Institutions are legal or social entities created for the purpose of 
producing goods and services whose status does not permit them to be a source of 
income, profit or other financial gain for the units that establish, control or finance them 
In practice their productive activities are bound to generate either surpluses or deficits 
but any surpluses they happen to make cannot be appreciated by other institutional 
units.”

a) Organizations 
b) Not-for-profit and by law or custom and non-profit distributing. 
c) Institutionally separate from government. 
d) Self-governing. 
e) Non-compulsory. 
 
1.2 Non-profit Institutions-Satellite Accounts	
 
 
Satellite accounts are recognised internationally as a way of rearranging existing 
information in the national accounts so that an area of particular economic or social 
importance, such as non-profit institutions, can be analyzed more closely. Links are 
maintained between the satellite accounts and the central national accounting 
framework. This is important as it enables new information to be presented alongside 
standard economic measures such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The United 
Nations (UN) Handbook on Non-Profit Institutions in the System of National Accounts 
has been used as a guide in compiling the satellite account. The UN Handbook 
recommends statistical standards and guidelines for the development of data on non-
profit institutions. It was prepared as collaboration between the John Hopkins 
University center for civil society studies and the Economic statistics Branch of UN 
statistics division in response to the growing interest in institutions that are refered to as 
Non-profit, voluntary or non-governmental and that are not in a single economic sector 
under the System of National Accounts. 
 
 
  The NPISA includes information about non-profit institutions such as cultural 
societies, sports, clubs, social service institutions, private schools and hospitals, 
churches, environmental lobby groups, trade unions, political parties and charitable 
trusts.

An Introduction to Non-Profit Institutions in Kerala

1 Total income and its components (sales, donations, grants, 
investment) 
2  Total expenditure and its components (salaries and wages, 
donations, grants etc) 
3  Operating surplus and savings 
4 Number of institutions by type (environment, health, social services 
etc) 
5 Number of paid employees.  
6 Number of Volunteers. 
 
1.3 Need for Satellite Accounts on NPIs
 
 
  Although section assignment makes sense for many analytical purposes, it 
makes it difficult to gain a comprehensive view of the entire universe of NPIs. Gaining 
such a view increasingly important, for number of reasons. Those reasons include the 
following. 
  
(a) NPIs constitute a significant and growing economic presence in 
countries throughout the world, accounting 7-10 % of non-agricultural 
employment in many developed countries and considerable share of the 
employed labour force in developing as well. 
(b) NPIs have distinct features that give them production functions and 
other characteristics that differ significantly from those of the other 
entities included in the corporate and government sectors to which they 
are assigned under current usage. Those features include: 
 
(i) The prohibition on the distribution of profits from their 
operations, which gives them an objective function quite 
different from that of for-profit corporations; 
(ii) Their involvement in the production of public goods in 
addition to whatever private goods they may produce;

An Introduction to Non-Profit Institutions in Kerala	 	
Department of Economics and Statistics, Kerala	 	4 (iii) A revenue structure that generally includes substantial 
voluntary contributions time and money; 
(iv) The use of volunteer as well as paid staff; 
(v) Limited access to enquiry capital because of the 
prohibition on their distribution of profits; 
(vi) Eligibility of special tax advantage in many countries; 
(vii) Special legal provisions pertaining to governance, 
reporting requirements, political participation and related 
matters; 
(viii) The lack of sovereign governmental powers despite their 
involvement in public goods provision; 
(c) NPIs are increasingly a focus of policy attention as governments seek to 
divert social functions to provide groups, which has increased the need 
for better information on NPIs; 
(d) Existing treatment, by folding NPIs into other sectors, reduces the 
incentives to make the special efforts needed to capture NPIs fully in 
current data; 
(e)  Existing sectoral rules are hard to apply given the increasing complexity 
of NPI universe. Considerable variation in treatment may consequently 
occur among countries. 
 
The NPI Satellite Account utilizes a mid-range concept of the non-profit 
institutions sector that uses components of the  “Structural Operational” definition used 
in the Johns Hopkins Comparative Non-profit sector Project to clarify the SNA 
definition, particularly with respect to the borders between NPIs and both corporations 
and governments. Three of the components of the structural-operational definition can 
provide the needed clarification In the first place, the “Institutionally separate from 
government “criterion places additional emphasis on the non-governmental nature of 
NPIs, a crucial feature in most understandings of that set of institutions. 
 
(a) In the second place, “the self-governing” criterion usefully distinguishes NPIs 
from organizations that are essentially controlled by other entities, whether 
government or corporation.

(b)  Finally, the “non-compulsory” element of the “voluntary” criterion 
distinguishes   NPIs from entities that people belong to by birth or legal 
necessity that distinguishes, NPIs from families, tribes and other similar entities, 
and represents another central feature of the common understanding of those 
organizations. 
 
1.4 NPIs in India	
 
 
  Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has decided to initiate 
various measures, to implement the UN Handbook on the NPI, which include 
computerization of the records of Registrars of societies on NPIs, and compilation of 
satellite accounts for the NPI sector in India. The National Accounts Division of the 
CSO has been given the responsibility of the said work, which would be completed 
with in a time frame of 30 months. State DES is entrusted to conduct the survey on 
NPIs.  The survey is proposed to be conducted in two phases, i.e., listing and detailed 
survey. 
 
 
This report is based on the first phase (listing) of the survey conducted in Kerala 
by the Department of Economics and Statistics. The listing work has been done by 
collecting details of Registered Non profit Institutions from District Registrar offices.

Non-profit Institutions in Kerala 
 
2.1 Kerala Economy	
 
 	
Kerala, known as ‘God’s own country’ invites the attention of the whole world 	
by its rich and varied cultural heritage.  Kerala, with its high literacy rate and improved 
health standards and comparatively better socio-economic situations is at par with the 
developed countries of the world in several development indicators. At the same time 
the per capita income and GDP are very low in comparison with developed countries.    	
 
Agriculture and allied activities remain the dominant source of livelihood in the 	
state. A predominant feature of agriculture in the state is the cultivation of cash crops. 
It is a leading producer of coconut, rubber, pepper, cardamom, ginger, cocoa, cashew, 
arecanut and coffee. It is the largest producer of rubber in the country, accounting for 
85 per cent of the country's total land under rubber cultivation. Providing employment 
to 1.73 million people, the state is the third highest in the number of small-scale 
industries (258,000) in the country. The predominance of cash crop cultivation has led 
to the growth of a number of agro-based industries engaged in food, rubber, cashew 
and coir processing.  
 
The state's traditional strength in tourism coupled with its emergence as an IT 
destination has given a fillip to the services sector. The tourism sector accounted Its 
unique culture and traditions, coupled with its varied demography, has made Kerala one 
of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Growing at a rate of 13.31%, the 
tourism industry is a major contributor to the state's economy 
 
In a state of over 4 million unemployed which accounts 12 percent, one Keralite 
worker in ten now works overseas. The largest numbers work in construction, although 
high literacy allows some Keralites to secure office work. Foreign remittances augment 
the state’s economic output by nearly 25 percent.

An Introduction to Non-Profit Institutions in Kerala	 	
Department of Economics and Statistics, Kerala	 	7 The socio economic empowerment initiatives under Kudumbashree in Kerala 
have been emerged as a hope for the millions of rural poor, who have remained without 
having much role in the development efforts and decision making chance for 
participating the development process.  
 
Despite its achievements, state faces low industrial development and high levels 
of unemployment. The educational reforms failed to make a direct mark on the state, as 
people were left with no option but to go abroad for work options. Today, with over 
25% of the population of the state living abroad, the policy in effect, created a brain 
drain scenario. 
 
2.2 Listing Work of NPIs in Kerala	
 
  The listing work of NPIs in Kerala was started in September 2008. State level 
and regional level training were conducted before the listing work. The listing of NPIs 
was done by the officers in District offices of Economics and Statistics in the 14 
Districts. Details are collected from the registers kept in the offices of District 
Registrars in the prescribed format and data entry was done in the District offices of 
Economics and Statistics. 
Name with address, register number with year, Governing body members (male 
and female), activity, location (rural or urban), Act under which the society is registered 
etc of every NPIs were collected during the listing work.

The total number of NPIs registered in Kerala till March 2008 under different 
acts are 326392. Out of which, 278644 are in rural area and 47748 are in urban area. 
That is about 85.37% of the NPIs were registered from rural areas and the rest from 
urban area. Thiruvananthapuram district is at the top according to the number NPIs 
registered from rural and urban areas. According to the number of NPIs registered, 
Kasaragod and Waynad are at the bottom in rural and urban areas respectively. 
Combining the rural and urban information on number of NPIs, Thiruvananthapuram is 
at the top and Waynad is at the bottom.  
 
 
2.4 Year wise   Registration	
 
   
  Majority of rhe NPIs were registered after 1970. Out 326392 NPIs, only 4870 
NPIs were registered before 1970. This is only about 1.5 % of the total NPIs. In the 
table in the appendix, we can see that the entities in the row against some districts are 
zeroes, as the districts are formed after the year. Considering the number of districts of 
NPIs registered after 1970, about 36.27% of the total NPIs were registered in the last 
decade of the 20	
th Century. In the present decade we can accept the same trend in the 
number of NPIs registered. The Year wise details of the number of number of NPIs 
registered in Rural and Urban area are given in the tables 1 and 2.

133834 (41.%) of NPIs registered in Kerala are active in social services. This is 
the highest according to activities of the NPIs. The number of NPIs active in law 
advocacy and politics, Philanthropic intermediates and international activities are 
comparatively small. When we analyze the district wise details, it can be seen that the 
activities of majority of the NPIs in northern districts are not social services. In these 
districts majority of the NPIs are active in culture and recreation or Business and

NPIs are in social service. Considering the number of NPIs all over Kerala, the main 
activity of NPIs are seems to be social service, this is due to the dominance of number 
of social service NPIs in southern districts.

Each NPI is governing by a member or a group of members. About 28.68 lakh 
persons are included in the governing bodies of all NPIs operating in Kerala. About 
10.28 lakh women are engaged in the proper functioning of the NPIs. It is about 
35.85% of the total number of governing body members. The percentage of women 
governing body members in rural areas is about 37.05% and that in the urban area is 
28.87%. That is women participation in the NPIs in rural sector is more than that in the 
urban sector. From the details collected it is clear that average number of governing 
body members per NPI is higher for NPIs active in the area of ‘Culture and 
Recreation’. 
2.8 Conclusion	
 
In the first phase of the NPI survey, all the NPIs registered till March 2008 are 
listed. 3.26 lakh of NPIs enlisted through the survey. The number of NPIs per square 
km is approximately 8. The contribution of NPIs in the State Domestic Product will be
