Structure of the schedule: NSS 67th round enterprise survey covered diverse domain of non-agricultural activities. The detailed enquiry schedule was structured accordingly. Schedule 2.34 consisted of 17 blocks (blocks 0 to 16). Blocks 0 and 1 were meant to record identification details of the enterprise; Blocks 14, 15 and 16 were for reporting particulars of field operation, remarks by the investigator and comments by the supervisory officers. In the remaining 13 blocks, data collected from the enterprises.

Some operational characteristics of the enterprises were collected in block 2. Block 2.1 used to record the different activities pursued by the enterprise.

Blocks 3, 4 and 5, 6 were the main blocks of the schedule where operating expenses and various receipts of the enterprises were recorded. Blocks 3 and 5 recorded the principal expenses and receipts whereas blocks 4 and 6 recorded the other expenses and other receipts.

Schedule 2.34 was designed in such a way that the different types of receipts and expenses for different types of enterprises were accommodated within the framework of blocks 3 to 6. To meet this objective and facilitate reporting of activity-specific items of principal operating expenses and principal receipts, two blocks namely, blocks 3 and 5 were subdivided into 11 sub-blocks. While these sub-blocks were meant for specific types of enterprise, blocks 4 and 6 were common for all enterprises. It may be noted that for an enterprise which ran a mixed activity, more than one of the sub-blocks of blocks 3 & 5 may had entries and this was in consonance with the activities recorded in block 2.1.

Block 7 was kept for calculation of gross value added.

The employment particulars of the enterprises were recorded in block 8.

Blocks 9, 10 and 11 were meant to collect information on emoluments, fixed assets and loan position of the enterprises respectively. The factor incomes of the enterprise were recorded in block 12. It may be noted that from this block also, value added could be generated. So, blocks 7 and 12 together provided an added check in the schedule for assessing the consistency of the data.

Block 13 was introduced to collect data on use of information and communication technology (ICT) by the enterprises.Survey on Unincorporated, Non agricultural Enterprises, NSS 67th Round, Schedule 2.34, July 2010 - June 2011The survey coverd the whole of the Indian Union except (i) interior villages of Nagaland situated beyond five kilometres of the bus route and (ii) villages in
