The Directorate of Economics and Statistics, the centralized statistical organization for Telangana state, is responsible for collecting, compiling, analyzing, and interpreting statistics to meet the government's needs.

The Mandal Handbook of Statistics (MHBS) is a comprehensive publication providing detailed data and statistics on various sectors, compiled by Mandal Planning and Statistical Officers (MPSOs) for their respective Mandals. It offers village-wise and department-wise data on parameters such as:

Sl No.	Name of the Chapter	No. of Tables
1	Population	9
2	Climate	5
3	Health and Family Welfare	7
4	Agriculture	6
5	World Agriculture Census/CLH	5
6	Irrigation	3
7	Education	9
8	Livestock	9
9	Industries	5
10	Social Security	7
11	Welfare Schemes	9
12	Local Bodies	9
13	Women & Child Welfare	5
14	Banks & PACS	2

The MHBS formats align with schemes and programs implemented at Mandal and village levels, enabling assessment of achievements and progress. Following district reorganization, significant changes have occurred in parameters like geographical area, population, cropping patterns, infrastructure facilities, and natural resources.

This comprehensive resource is valuable for MPSOs in supporting Mandal administration and planning, as well as for public representatives in forming policy decisions. Additionally, it serves as a useful reference for students, researchers, and the general public.
