        <sampProc>As usual, a stratified sampling design is adopted in this round.  The first stage units are census villages ( panchayat wards in case of Kerala) in the rural sector  and the NSSO Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector.  The ultimate stage units are households in both the sectors.

Sampling frame for first stage units
(a) Rural :  The lists of census villages of 1991 population census (1981 census list for J &amp; K) constitute the sampling frame for the rural sector.  For Kerala, however, the list of panchayat wards has been used as the sampling frame for selection of panchayat wards in the rural sector.  For Nagaland, the villages located within 5 kms. of a bus route constitute the sampling frame, whereas, for Andaman &amp; Nicobar Islands, the list of acces­sible villages constitutes the sampling frame.
(b) Urban : The lists of latest UFS blocks have been considered  as the sampling frame for all cities and towns.  

 Stratification
(a) Rural : At first, the following three strata (namely strata types 1, 2 &amp; 3) are formed at the level of each state/u.t.:-
Stratum 1 : list of uninhabited villages(as per '91 census).
stratum 2 : villages with population 1 to 50 (including both the boundaries)
stratum 3 : villages with population more than 15,000

Strata types 1, 2 &amp; 3 above are formed provided there are at least 10 villages in each of the strata types in the state/u.t. as per 1991 population census.  Otherwise, these villages are included in the general strata  as described below :

After formation of the strata types 1, 2 &amp; 3 (wherever applicable), the remaining villages of the state/u.t. are consid­ered for formation of general strata.  Each district with popula­tion less than 2 million as per 1991 census forms a separate stratum (however, district having a population of 2 million or more is divided into a number of strata as per usual procedure followed in NSS).  For Gujarat, some districts cut across NSS regions.  In such cases, the part  of a  district falling in an NSS region forms a separate stratum.

(b) Urban : Strata are formed within NSS region by grouping towns.</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>

      <txt><![CDATA[Household : 

A group of persons normally living together and taking food from a common kitchen constitutes a household. The word "normally" means that temporary visitors are excluded but temporary stay-aways are included.Thus a son or daughter residing in a hostel for studies is excluded from the household of his/her parents, but a resident employee or resident domestic servant or paying guest (but not just a tenant in the house) is included in the employer/host's household. "Living together" is usually given more importance than "sharing food from a common kitchen" in drawing the boundaries of a household in case the two criteria are in conflict; however, in the special case of a person taking food with his family but sleeping elsewhere (say in a shop or a different house) due to space shortage, the household formed by such a  person's family members is taken to include the person also. Each inmate of a mess, hotel, boarding and lodging house, hostel, etc. is considered as a single-member household except that a family living in a hotel (say) is considered as one household only; the same applies to residential staff of such establishments.

The size of a household is the total number of persons in the household.]]></txt>

          Which industry does the principal earner in the household work in?

        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[The description of  the principal household industry-occupation will be  recorded in  the space provided.  The right hand side of item 2  has  been divided  into two lines.  The appropriate three digited  industry code  of the NIC 1987 will be recorded in the first line and  the relevant occupation family of the NCO 1968 will be entered in the second line.

     To  determine the principal  household  industry-occupation, the  general procedure to be followed is to list all the  gainful 
occupations  pursued  by the members of the  household  excluding those employed by the household and paying guests (who in view of their staying and taking food in the household are considered  as its normal members) during the one year period preceding the date of survey, no matter whether such occupations are pursued by  the members  in  their  principal  or subsidiary  (on  the  basis  of earnings) capacity. Out of the occupations listed, that one which fetched the maximum earnings to the household during the last 365  days  preceding  the date of survey would be  considered  as  the principal  household occupation.  It is quite possible  that  the household  occupation, thus determined as the principal one,  may 
be pursued in different industries by one or more members of  the household.  In such cases, the particular industry out of all the different  industries corresponding to the principal  occupation, which  fetched the maximum earnings, should be considered as  the principal  industry  of the household .  In  extreme  cases,  the earnings  may be equal in two different occupations or  industry- occupation combinations.  By convention, in such cases,  priority will   be   given  to  the  occupation   or   industry-occupation combination  of the senior most among the  participating  members.  For households deriving income from non-gainful activities  only, a dash (-) may be put against this item.]]></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>

          Note that here the information sought is not a simple yes/no answer but something more. For those members who are commuting regularly, it will be ascertained whether they commute to work or to an educational institution. In case of members commuting both to work and for education at different times of the day, “work” will be given priority. For those who commute to work, it will be further ascertained whether their work involves travel to only one spot in a day or whether they move from one spot to another during the same day, and the entry made in col. 6 accordingly.

      <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>

          What is the principal source of drinking water?

        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[If a household obtained drinking water from the same source throughout the last 365 days, the that source is the principal source and there is no supplementary source.  If a household, during the last 365 days, obtained drinking water from more than one source, than the one most commonly used will be called the principal source and the next one (in terms of frequency of use) will be called the supplementary source.  Thus if a household used source A for 5 months of the year, source B for 4 months, and source C for 3 months, then A and B will be the principal and supplementary source respectively.  The codes are :

		Tank, pond (reserved for drinking) .........4

“Shared by a restricted set of households” includes cases when a block of flats shares the source. “Community use” means that access in either unrestricted, or restricted to an identifiable community such as a caste or religious group.  “Other” includes cases of access granted (to the sample household) by a neighbor to the neighbor's personal source, or access to a source meant for a block of flats obtained on the basis of good personal relations with some the residents of that block of flats.]]></ivuInstr>

          What all measures are normally taken to increase water supply when insufficient?
        </qstnLit>
        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[This item, like item 5, will be left blank for those answering “yes” for item 4.  The codes are :


	Water supplied by local authorities through tankers, etc. ..........1
	Water supplied by charitable bodies etc  . .................................2
	Water obtained from neighbors   ...............................................3
	Water purchased by household   ...............................................4
	Other measures     ......................................................................5
	No measures     ..........................................................................9



(I)  The work “normally” in “normally taken” is important. If water scarcity arose 4 times in the last ten years but the local authorities supplied water only once, and no measures were taken on the remaining 3 occasions, then the normal situation is “no measures”, and code 6 should be entered.


(ii)  If more than one code is applicable, that is, more than one of the types of measures listed are normally taken in time of water insufficiency, then the one which is used most by the sample household will be considered.


(iii)  When the principal source gives insufficient drinking water, the household may start using a supplementary source.  This will come under “other measures”.]]></ivuInstr>

          What is the supplementary source of drinking water?
        </qstnLit>
        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[If a household obtained drinking water from the same source throughout the last 365 days, the that source is the principal source and there is no supplementary source.  If a household, during the last 365 days, obtained drinking water from more than one source, than the one most commonly used will be called the principal source and the next one (in terms of frequency of use) will be called the supplementary source.  Thus if a household used source A for 5 months of the year, source B for 4 months, and source C for 3 months, then A and B will be the principal and supplementary source respectively.  The codes are :


		Tap    .......................................................1
		Tube well, hand pump ............................2
		Well    ......................................................3
		Tank, pond (reserved for drinking) .........4
		Other tank, pond   ...................................5
		River, canal, lake  ...................................6
		Spring    ...................................................7
		Tanker     .................................................8

      <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>

Some households, especially among those relying on tap water, may not have the habit of storing drinking water at all, preferring to take water directly from the source whenever the need to drink water arises.  For them the entry will be 9 (no storage).]]></ivuInstr>

        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[This item refers to the bathroom  used by household members. In case more than household members use one bathroom, the one most commonly used will be considered for making the entry.  Note that an open area without a roof used for bathing purposes is only a bathing place and not a bathroom for this survey.  The codes are :

	no bathroom ..................1	detached ...............2		attached ..............3


Households whose members do not use a bathroom to take a bath will get code 1 (no bathroom).  Other households will get code 3 or code 2 depending on whether the bathroom used by them is the structure in which their living rooms are “attached” or “detached”.  Attached here means: in the same structure as the dwelling unit.  If the dwelling unit is housed in a single structure, there is no problem.  A dwelling unit may, however, be spread over more than one structure. In such cases, if the structure containing the bathroom has rooms for living purposes, then the bathroom will be considered as “attached” to the dwelling unit. “Rooms for living purposes” includes bedroom, sitting room, reading room, dining room and prayer room. A bathroom, which is not attached, is detached.]]></ivuInstr>

          Are you willing to contribute towards improving sanitation in your neighborhood ?

        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[Item 41/42:  Are you willing to contribute towards improving sanitation in your neighborhood/your village or town ?  The codes are :

Willing to contribute money ................1
...............................Labour    ................2
...............................Both    ...................3
...............................Neither  ................4

Note that code 1 actually means “ willing to contribute money but not labour” and code 2 actually means “willing to contribute labour but not money”, since those willing to contribute both money and labour must be given code 3 (not 1 or 2). The question should be put to the head of the household or some earning member, if possible. If such members are not available, the informant's opinion as to whether the household would be willing to contribute may be ascertained. If the answer is that the household would be willing to contribute to improvement of one specific aspect of sanitation (say, latrines) but not any aspect the response should be taken as “willing” (code 1/2/3).]]></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>

Of the for conditions (1) having a bank A/c (2) having a P.O. Saving A/c (3) belonging to a CCS (4) belonging to a SHG, if more than condition is fulfilled by the household members (e.g. one household member has a bank A/c and another member belongs to a CCS), then the “account last operated” among these will be considered for making the entry. Similarly, if a member has two bank accounts, the account last operated among the two will be considered.]]></ivuInstr>

Residential land or building ………..............................4
 Marriage ………………………....................................5

Codes 1 and 2 cover all enterprise purposes.  Financial asset formation is covered by code 3 and debt repayment by code 8.  Purchase, construction, improvement and repair of residential land and building come under code 4. Certain specific consumption purposes are covered by items 5,6,7 and 9. Purchase of consumer durables, and other consumption, for purposes not related to marriage, medical treatment or education would be given code 9.

(I)  The true purpose for which the money sought was intended to be used should be ascertained and recorded.  This may not be the same as the purpose mentioned in the application made by the household to the bank/CCS/SHG.


(ii)  In case the money was intended to be used for more than one of the purpose categories listed, so that more than one of the codes 1 to 9 appear to be applicable, the entry will be made according to the major purpose.  This will be understood to mean that purpose for which the maximum amount of money was meant to be used. If the money was to be spent on one item, say, a tractor, to be used for both household and enterprise purposes, then the enterprise purpose is to be given priority for making the entry.]]></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.

If there is more than one purpose involved, the most important one will be recorded.  Thus, if a person makes a business trip and his family accompanies him to enjoy a vacation, the purpose which is considered more important by the household will have to be ascertained and recorded.  The question may be asked:  would the tour have been undertaken if business was the only motive? or, Would the tour have been undertaken if leisure were the only purpose?  For “return” journey, the same purpose code will be give as for “outward” journey.]]></ivuInstr>

	(a) mode of journey
	(b) number of members who took part
	(c) distance
	(d) total expenditure on transport, and
	(f) whether subsidized.


In other words, consider the case when these particulars, for the return journey, are identical with the outward journey. In such cases the following option is open to the investigator.  Instead of making two lines of entries, one for “outward” and the other for 'return” journey, the investigator may make one line of entries only, the record 2 (“double journey”) in col. 10:  “whether single journey entry”.


(I)   The choice of whether to make a “double-journey” entry (one line of entries with code 2 in col. 10), or two separate and identical single-journey entry (two lines of entries with code 1 in col. 10) lines with the investigator.

(ii)   However, when the two journeys are not identical in every respect, for instance, if the mode of journey differs (say, the outward journey is by rail and the return journey by bus) than option to make a double-journey entry does not exist, and two single-journey entries must necessary be made.  Single-journey entries will have code 1 in col. 10.

(ii)   In double-journey entries, the particulars recorded in columns other than col. 10 will relate to “one way' only; for instance, distance will be one-way distance, similarly, duration, expenses, etc. will relate to only one of the journeys (outward/return).  They are not to be multiplied by 2.]]></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>

        serial no. of land resources

      <qstn>
        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[Col. 1: (Categories of) land resources:  For this block, land resources are classified by kind of property right the user has on the land. Different kinds of property rights associated with private property, common property and state (government) property are considered for classifying the land resources.  The categories of land resources are briefly discussed below:

Item 1: Owned land:  This refers to all land owned by the household.  For this item, a plot of land will be considered to be owned by the household if permanent heritable possession, with right to transfer (sale), the title, is vested in a member or members of the household,  The area figures in all the items of this block will be recorded in hectares in two places of decimal.  Note that only those with right of sale will be considered for this item (unlike Item 1 of Block 13).

Item 2:  Vill. common/ panchayat/ tribal community land:  This category of land will be understood as all de jure CPR land (including tribal community land), other than village forests & woodlots.  Evidently, the revenue land not normally assigned to village panchayat or to a community of the village will not be considered for Item 2 of this block.  Such revenue land will be considered for in Item 5 (“Govt. revenue land”) of the block. However, the beds of water bodies like rivers, streams and tanks will not be considered for this item, as these are covered in Item 7.

Item 3;  Village forest 

Item 4:  Government forest
'government forest' includes all reserved forests, protected forests and unclassed forest which are neither  individually owned nor recognized as village forest or Van panchayat forest.

Item  5:  Government revenue land:  Besides the revenue land not formally held by Panchayat or a village community, this category will include land under the jurisdiction of all other government departments (except forest department) like PWD, Railways, Irrigation departments etc.  Uses of land collections from all such land will be recorded against this item. For example, collection of fuel wood, leaves, etc. from road-side trees will be treated as collections from government revenue land.  However, beds of water bodies like rivers, streams and tanks will not be considered for this item as these are covered in Item 7.

Item 6:  Land of other households (including area leased in):  This includes all land owned by households other than the sampled  household.  Uses of land taken on lease by the sample household will be recorded against this item.

Item 7:  River/ tank bed: Any of the “type of use” of the bed of water bodies like river, stream, tank, pond and lake will be considered for this item.  Note that no distinction is required to be made between water bodies located on village commons or on government revenue land; use of their beds will be recorded against Item 7.  Only those privately owned by households or organizations like companies, corporations, etc.  will be excluded.]]></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>

      <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>

      <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>

      <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>

      <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>

Since the agricultural year will not end before the survey is conducts, information regarding the remaining part of the year will be collected on the basis of the household's plans for the rabi season and extrapolations based on its experience of cultivation in the earlier rabi seasons.

There are provisions of recording the particulars of cultivation of only five major crops in the block.  For each of the five crops, information will be recorded in a separate column.  In the first item (row), serial numbers are printed.  Thus no serial number need be given by the field official.  In most case, it is felt, five column would be sufficient.  But there will be households which undertake cultivation of more than five crops in an agricultural year.  In such cases, the five most important crops will be identified on the basis of the value of production of the crops.  Information on these crops will be recorded in this block.]]></ivuInstr>

        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[Item 3:  Season (Kharif - 1, Rabi - 2):  The season of a crop is determined by the time of the year it is harvested. All crops harvested during July to December are called kharif crops and these harvested during January to June are called rabi crops.  These periods are, however, a little different in some states.  The field official may take guidance from the practice followed by the department of agriculture of the respective states in this regard.

Note that same crop grown more than once during the agricultural year will be considered as separate crops and. therefore, will be recorded using as many columns of the  block as the number of times it is cultivated, provided of course they are all considered as major crops of the household.  For example, if a household grows kahrif paddy and summer paddy, their particulars will be recorded in two separate columns.  however, if a crop is grown on two or more plots during the same season, the particulars of the crop to be recorded in the rest of the items will refer to the entire area under that crop.]]></ivuInstr>
