Overview
The NSS 70th round survey on land and livestock holdings (LHS) was conducted in rural areas of the country. The main objective of the survey on Land and Livestock Holdings (LHS) is to generate basic quantitative information on the agrarian structure of the country, which is relevant to land policy. The quantitative information to be collected in the land and livestock holdings survey can be categorised into the three broad aspects of land ownership holdings, operational holdings and ownership of livestock. The survey on Land and Livestock Holding has been designed to collect information on (i) particulars of land (owned, leased-out, leased-in and otherwise possessed) of the household, (ii) location of land, (iii) area, (iv) duration of possession, (v) number of lessor/lessee households, (vi) terms of lease, (vii) land use during July 2012 to December 2012/January 2013 to June 2013/whole agricultural year (July 2012 to June 2013), (viii) whether irrigated, (ix) sources of irrigation, etc. Information on number of livestock, poultry, duckery, etc., owned by the household as on the date of survey will also be collected. Besides collection of information on land and livestock, information will be collected on some household characteristics such as (i) household classification, (ii) social group, (iii) religion, (iv) whether the household operated any land on Jhum cultivation during last 365 days, etc. Some information on demographic particulars from each of the household members will also be collected such as (i) sex, (ii) age, (iii) general education level, (iv) whether associated with the household operational holding, etc.Using the information collected in this survey, different indicators of ownership holding, operational holding, pattern in land use, detailed types of crop production/animal farming activities of the households, seasonal variation in household operational holding, ownership of livestock, poultry, duckery, etc., can be generated for the rural areas of the country.
These statistical indicators are required for planning, policy formulation and decision making at various levels within the government and outside. The results of the survey will be of use to the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries, National Accounts Division, etc. These will also be used by various users, researchers and policy makers.

Scope
The 70th round (January 2013 - December 2013) of NSS is earmarked for surveys on land and livestock holdings, debt and investment and situation assessment survey of agricultural households. The last survey on these subjects was conducted in 59th round of NSS (January 2003 - December 2003).Geographical coverage: The survey covered the rural area of the whole of the Indian Union.
Population coverage: The following rules were adhered to:
1. Floating population, i.e., persons without any normal residence, was excluded. But persons residing in open space, roadside shelter, under a bridge, etc., more or less regularly in the same place were covered.
2. Foreign nationals were excluded, as well as their domestic servants, if by definition the latter belonged to the foreign national's household.
3. Persons residing in barracks of military and paramilitary forces (like police, BSF etc.) were kept outside the survey coverage. However, the civilian population residing in their neighbourhood, including the family quarters of service personnel, was covered.
4. Orphanages, rescue homes, ashrams and vagrant houses were outside the survey coverage. However, the persons staying in old age homes, the students staying in
ashram/hostels and the residential staff (other than monks/nuns) of these ashrams were covered. Although orphans living in orphanages were excluded, the persons looking
after them and staying there were covered. Convicted prisoners undergoing sentence were outside the coverage of the survey.
Sample size
First stage Units: A total of 4529 villages were surveyed as First stage Units (FSUs) in NSS 70th round for the Central sample at all-India level. In addition to this, State samples are also surveyed by the State/UT Governments who participated in this survey. The results presented in this document are based on Central sample alone.
Second Stage Units: Since, this schedule was canvassed in the rural areas only, the first stage units (FSU) were the census villages (Panchayat wards in case of Kerala), and the Second Stage Units (SSU) were the households. For the purpose of selection in case of Sch.18.1, all households in a sample village were classified into four Second Stage Strata (SSS) based on area of land possessed viz. less than 0.005 hectare-1, equal to or more than 0.005 hectare but less than 1.000 hectare -2, equal to or more than 1.000 hectare but less than 2.000 hectares -3, equal to or more than 2.000 hectares -4. Thereafter, 8 households were surveyed from each sample village, taking 2 household from each SSS.
Each of the sample households were visited once in visit-1 and in visit-2. However, a few households of visit-1 became ‘casualty’ while surveying in visit-2. At all-India level, a total of 35604 households were surveyed in visit-1 and 35337 of them could be surveyed in visit-2.
