PREFACE 
  Price collection is one of the major items of work undertaken by the Department of 
Economics and Statistics. The importance and usefulness of the information pertaining to the 
price movements has much significance in the context of a growing economy. This Department 
has been collecting different types of prices viz. Farm price, Market price, etc. (both Wholesale 
and Retail). These prices are being widely used for various purposes such as for the preparation 
of Indices, to provide compensation to Farmers and for tendering consumable articles for Govt. 
Institutions. Among the Retail prices, the statement of daily prices of fifty essential commodities 
being collected on daily basis from District Headquarters assume significance, because it is  
being forwarded daily to the office of the  Chief Minister and Minister of Food and Civil 
Supplies, Minister for Agriculture, Chief Secretary, Food and civil Supplies Secretary, Planning 
secretary,, Department of Civil supplies, Reserve Bank of India, Consumerfed  etc. In addition to 
the daily prices, weekly prices are also being collected every Friday. 
  From January 2004 onwards a publication titled “PRICE BULLETIN” is being prepared 
and published monthly incorporating the Retail prices of main essential commodities under 8 
major groups. Group wise analysis has been made with reference to current month, previous 
month and the corresponding month of the previous year with suitable pictorial representations.  
This publication is being prepared and published by Prices Division under the 
supervision of Sri.K.Damodaran, Additional Director (Prices). I appreciate the work done by 
Smt.Maya.S (Assistant Director), Smt.Sarulatha.R.S (Research Officer), Sri.Sooraj 
Cheruthottathil (Statistical Assistant Grade I) and all the Price Reporters and Price 
Supervisors in the Districts for preparing such a worthy publication. 
  Suggestions if any for improving the publication is solicited.
