I am just a beginner in research. Just came across this detail in EPW journal so i shared think you can acess time series data on subscription basis. The EPW Research Foundation (EPWRF) has been operating an online database service christened as ‘India Time Series’ (ITS), acronym as EPWRFITS, which can be accessed through the website epwrfi ts.in. This was executed as a part of the project funded by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and jointly executed by the EPW, EPWRF and the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai. The database is targeted to benefi t particularly students, research scholars, professionals and the academic community, both in India and abroad. Under the online data service, time series have been structured under various 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; and (xiii) Finances of the Government of India. Key Features • Compilation and dissemination of data in time series format, with periodical updating. • Covers various periodicities as feasible. • Analytically convenient classifi cation of data sets. • Ease of identifying the variables and versatility of selecting data variable/series and fl exibility of constructing time series as per choice and requirement of users. • Convenience of exporting the required data set to Excel fi les. • Enabling instant comparison and plotting in a graphical format. • ‘Meta Data’ providing information on the sources of data, concepts, coverage and changes therein. Access Options Demo Version/Annual Subscriptions The demo version can be accessed by free registration. The existing members already registered with us and accessing member services at epwrf.in will not require fresh registration. To gain full access on a regular basis, the subscription rates are available on our website. Annual Subscriptions are particularly useful for institutions with multiple users. Pay-per-use In order to promote wider usage of database, particularly among individual research scholars, a payper- use facility has recently been introduced. This will enable scholars to download data from different modules according to their specifi c needs at very moderate and uniform pay-as-you-use charges. Data sets can be accessed at Rs 10 per column for up to 200 lines; and for every additional 200 lines at Rs 5 each per column. This facility enables: • Variable-wise access across 13 modules and selection of data sets from any of the series for the required period. • Pay as per the download (against the current annual subscription for all modules ranging from Rs. 24,000 for students to Rs.1,26,000 for institutions with multiple users). • Flexi prepayment options, i.e. purchase through Top Up or pay as per the selection through wire transfer. • Downloaded data can be viewed online and also a copy gets mailed to the registered email ID.
