      <dataColl>
        <sampProc>Outline of Sample Design: 
A stratified multi-stage design was adopted for the conduct of survey of NSS 58th round.  The first-stage units were census villages (panchayat wards for Kerala) in the rural sector and the NSSO Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. The ultimate stage units were households in both the sectors.  

Sampling Frame for First-Stage Units:  
For the rural sector, the list of Census 1991 villages (panchayat wards for Kerala) and Census 1981 villages for J &amp; K constituted the sampling frame.   For the urban sector, the list of latest available Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks was considered as the sampling frame. 

Stratification 

Rural sector: 
Two special strata were formed as given below at the State/ UT level on the basis of Population Census 1991 viz.

Stratum 1: all FSUs with population between 0 to 50, and
Stratum 2:  FSUs with population more than 15,000 

The special stratum 1 was formed if at least 50 such FSU's were found in a State/UT. Similarly, special stratum 2 was formed if at least 4 such FSUs were found in a State/UT. Otherwise, such FSUs were merged with the general strata.

From the remaining FSUs (not covered under stratum 1 &amp;2) general strata (hereafter, stratum will refer to general stratum unless otherwise mentioned) was formed and numbered 3, 4, 5 …. etc. (even if no special strata have been formed).  Each district of a State/UT was normally treated as a separate stratum. However, if the provisional population of the district was greater than or equal to 2.5 million as per Census 2001, the district was divided into two or more strata with more or less equal population as per population census 1991 by grouping contiguous tehsils.  However, in Gujarat, some districts were not wholly included in an NSS region. In such cases, the part of the district falling in an NSS region constituted a separate stratum.

Urban sector: 
In the urban sector, stratum was formed within each NSS region on the basis of size class of towns as per Census 1991 town population except for towns specified in Table 4. The stratum number and their composition (within each region) are given below:

stratum 1:	all towns with population (P) &lt; 0.1 million	
stratum 2:	all towns with 0.1= P &lt; 0.5 million	
stratum 3:	all towns with 0.5= P &lt; 1 million	
stratum 4,5,6, …	each town with P= 1 million 	

The stratum numbers was retained as above even if, in some regions, some of the stratum is not formed.

Total sample size (FSUs):  
A total number of 8338 and 9076 first-stage units were selected for survey in the Central and State samples respectively. The sample size by State and Sector is given in the Annexure

Allocation of total sample to States and UTs:  
The total sample FSUs was allocated to the States and UTs in proportion to provisional population as per Census 2001 subject to the availability of investigators ensuring more or less uniform work-load.
 
Allocation of State/ UT level sample to Rural and Urban sectors:  
State/UT level sample was allocated between two sectors in proportion to provisional population as per Census 2001 with double weightage to urban sector.

Allocation of Rural /Urban sector level sample size to strata / sub-strata:  
Both rural and urban sector samples allotted to a State/UT were allocated to different strata in proportion to population of the stratum. All the stratum-level allocations were adjusted to multiple of 2.  Stratum-level sample size in the urban sector was further allocated to 2 sub-strata in proportion to the number of UFS blocks in them with double weightage to sub-stratum 1 subject to a minimum sample size of 2 or 4 to sub-stratum 1 according as stratum-level allocation is 4 or greater than 4.  Sub-stratum level allocations in the urban sector were made even. 

Selection of FSUs:  
FSUs were selected in the form of two independent sub-samples in both the sectors. For special stratum 2 and all the general strata of rural sector, FSUs were selected by probability proportional to size with replacement (PPSWR) where size was the 1991 census population. For urban sector and special stratum 1 of rural sector, FSUs were selected by simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR).</sampProc>

      <txt><![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]></txt>

Any activity resulting in production of goods and services that adds value to national product was considered as economic activity. Such activities included production of all goods and services for market i.e. production for pay or profit and the production of primary commodities for own consumption and own account production of fixed assets, among the nonmarket activities. The entire spectrum of human activity falls into two categories viz. economic and non-economic activities. The economic activities have two parts - market activities and non-market activities. Market activities are those that involve remuneration to those who perform it i.e., activity performed for pay or profit. These are essentially production of goods and services for the market including those of government services etc. Non-market activities are the production for own
consumption of primary products including own account processing of primary products and own account production of fixed assets.]]></txt>

        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[Columns 15 & 16: 'whether working before the onset of disability' and 'if working before the onset of disability, whether disability caused loss or change of work?':  The purpose of these items is to ascertain whether the disabled members who were working prior to the onset of disability had loss or change of work due to the onset of disability.  In the case of persons having multiple disabilities, work status at the onset of each of the multiple disabilities will have to be determined sepa­rately and if the person is reported to be working at the onset of at least one of the multiple disabilities, code 1 will be recorded in column 15.  For those who have disability since birth, and for children of age 0-4 years, code 2 will be recorded in column 15.  Column 16 will be filled-in only for those who were working at the onset of disability (i.e. for those with code 1 in column 15).  The codes to be used for recording entry in column 16 are:
		
loss of work     ..............……….. 	1 	
change of work  ............………..	2	
no loss or no change of work .….	3	

For persons having only one disability and working at the onset of disability, no difficulty will arise in ascertaining whether the disability caused loss of work or change of work.  For persons having two or more disabilities and working at the onset of each of the disabilities, all the three situa­tions - loss of work, change of work and no loss or no change of work - may occur.  In such cases, code 1 will get priority over codes 2 & 3 and code 2 over code 3.  For self-employed persons, code 1 will be entered only if he/she lost the job due to the onset of disability. The 'change of work' will relate to any kind of change of type/nature of work. If the onset of disability did not cause loss or change of work, code 3 will be recorded in column 16.]]></ivuInstr>

      <txt><![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]></txt>

In other words, if one ear of a person was normal and the other ear had total hearing loss, then the person was judged as normal in hearing for the purpose of the survey. Hearing disability was judged without taking into consideration the use of hearing aids (i.e., the position for the person when hearing aid was not used). Persons with hearing disability might be having different de grees of disability, such as profound, severe or moderate. A person was treated as having 'profound' hearing disability if he/she could not hear at all or could only hear loud sounds, such as, thunder or understands only gestures. A person was treated as having 'severe' hearing disability if he/she could hear only shouted words or could hear only if the speaker was sitting in the front. A person was treated as having 'moderate' hearing disability if his/her disability was neither profound nor severe. Suc h a person would usually ask to repeat the words spoken by the speaker or would like to see the face of the speaker while he/she spoke or would feel difficulty in conducting conversations.]]></txt>

A person with - (a) loss or lack of normal ability to execute distinctive activities associated with the movement of self and objects from place to place and (b) physical deformities, other than those involving the hand or leg or both, regardless of whether the same caused loss or lack of normal movement of body - was considered as disabled with locomotor disability. Thus, persons having locomotor disability included those with (a) loss or absence or inactivity of whole or part of hand or leg or both due to amputation, paralysis, deformity or dysfunction of joints which affected his/her “normal ability to move self or objects” and (b) those with physical deformities in the body (other than limbs), such as, hunch back, deformed spine, etc. Dwarfs and persons with stiff neck of permanent nature who generally did not have difficulty in the normal movement of body and limbs was also treated as disabled.]]></txt>

          Code 1 will be recorded if the particular type of disability was from birth and otherwise, code 2 will be recorded. Persons who have acquired disability during infancy (below 1 year of age) without known reasons, would also be considered to have disability 'from birth' and code 1 will be assigned.

Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]></txt>
