        <serInfo><![CDATA[The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) carried out the first country wide comprehensive survey of physically disabled persons during the 36th round survey (July - Decem­ber, 1981).  The next survey on the subject was carried out after a period of ten years in NSS 47th round (July - December, 1991). In NSS 36th and 47th round surveys, information was collected on three types of  physical disabilities - visual, communication and loco motor - along with the cause of disabil­ity, aid/appliance ac­quired by the disabled, general and vocational educational level of the disabled etc.  In addition, data on developmental milestones and behavioural pattern of all children of age 5-14 years, regardless of whether they were physically disabled or not, were collected. 

The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (MSJE) made a request for conducting a survey on disability in order to meet the data needs for evolving specific strategies and interventions during the 10th Five Year Plan. The need for a detailed survey on disability was strongly felt by MSJE since its data requirement included not only the number of disabled persons, but also the socio-economic characteristics of the disabled persons such as their age structure, literacy, vocational training, employment, causative factors of disability, age at the onset of disability etc. It was decided that:

	(i) The survey of disabled persons will also cover persons with mental disability apart from the physically disabled persons since the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (MSJE) also requested for information on mentally disabled persons. The decision to include mental disability in the survey has been taken on the basis of a pre-test of the questions on mental disability, both for the listing and detailed schedules, carried out in the four cities of Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Delhi. 

	(ii) The information for different types of disabilities has been collected for persons of all age-groups.]]></serInfo>

      <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>

        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[Principal earner of the household is that person among the household members who had the highest earnings during the 365 days preceding the date of survey from any type of activity economic or non-economic.  Information regarding the  general educational level attained by the principal earner will be recorded against this item in terms of the specified codes.  For the purpose of making entries, only the course successfully completed will be considered.  For instance, a person who had studied up to say, first year B.A., his educa­tional attainment will only be higher secondary.  The codes to be used are:

not literate  …………………………..	01	
literate without formal schooling  …...	02	
literate but below primary  ………….	03	
primary  …………………………….	04	
middle  ………………………………	05	
secondary  …………………………..	06	
higher secondary  …………………...	07	
diploma / certificate course  ………..	08	
graduate  ……………………………	10	
post graduate and above  …………..	11	

A person who can both read and write a simple message with understanding in at least one language is to be considered as literate. Those who are not able to do so, are to be considered not literate and will be assigned code 01. Those who are literate but never attended any school will be given code 02. Those who are, by definition literate but are yet to pass a primary standard examination will be assigned code 03. Codes 04, 05, 06 and 07 will indicate the successive higher standards of examinations passed. Criteria for deciding primary, middle, secondary etc. will depend on the pattern followed in the concerned state or union territory. Persons who have attained proficiency in Oriental languages (e.g. Sanskrit, Persian etc.) through formal but not the general type of education will be classified appropriately at the equivalent level of general education standard.]]></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>

Self-care, such as, ability to go to latrine, taking food, getting dressed, etc., are to be taken into account for determining the extent of physical disability of a disabled member.  The codes to be used are:

can take self-care with  only aid/appliance  ............….	2	
can take self-care without aid/appliance ......................  	3	
aid/appliance not tried / not available ………………... 	4	

A ' - '  mark will be put if the person has only mental disability i.e. code 1 in col. 7. Persons with no light perception will be treated as 'cannot take self-care even with aid/appliance'.  Similarly, persons without legs (both) or arms (both) or both the arms and legs (or those unable to use arms or legs due to paralysis or deformity) will also be treated as 'cannot take self-care even with aid/appliance'.  Codes 2 and 3 are self-explanatory. In case a disabled person has never tried any aid/appliance or that the aid/appliance was not available to him/her and as such he/she is not aware of his/her position in regard to their use, code 4 will be recorded.]]></ivuInstr>

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. However the whole spectrum of economic activities as defined in the UN System of National Accounts (SNA) was not covered under 'economic activity' in the 58th round. The term "economic activity" included:

(i) all the market activities described above i.e. the activities performed for pay or profit, and

(ii) of the non- market activities:

                (a) all the activities relating to agricultural sector which result in production (including gathering of uncultivated crops, forestry, collection of firewood, hunting, fishing etc.) of agricultural  produce for own consumption and
                (b) the activities relating to the own-account production of fixed assets. Own account production of fixed assets includes construction of own houses, roads, wells etc., and of machinery, tools etc. for household enterprise and also construction of any private or community facilities free of charge. A person may be engaged in own account construction either in the capacity of a labourer or a supervisor.]]></txt>

        <ivuInstr><![CDATA[Columns 16 & 17: '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 16.  For those who have disability since birth, and for children of age 0-4 years, code 2 will be recorded in column 16.  Column 17 will be filled-in only for those who were working at the onset of disability (i.e. for those with code 1 in column 16).  The codes to be used for recording entry in column 17 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 17.]]></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>

For such persons it is to be ascertained whether he/she was late in sitting, walking or talking in childhood as compared to other children. The 'normal time' for attaining the milestone after birth in the case of 'sitting' is 'before 1 year', for 'walking' it is 'before 2 years' and for 'talking' it is 'before 3 years'. If the disabled person had performed these activities after the stipulated time given for each such activity, he/she would be considered as 'late' for that activity. The detailed codes are:

walking  …………………............	2	
talking  …………………………..	3	
any combination of  codes 1 to 3...	4	
cannot recall / not known  ………	5	
no  ………………….……………….	6	

Code 1, 2, 3 or 4 is to be recorded if the reply is in affirmative for late in sitting, walking, talking or any combination of them, respectively. If the respondent cannot recall or does not know the time of attainment of these milestones by the disabled member, code 5 is to be recorded. Code 6 will be recorded if the disabled member was not late in attaining these developmental milestones.]]></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>

          Pre-school intervention refers to any support given to children with disability before they start going to school. For instance therapies for motor or speech defects or delayed development, stimulation programmes either at home or developmental centres through qualified trainers/therapists. Pre-school interventions also mean attending Play School, Nursery Schools, Balwadis or Anganwadis in formal or informal setups. Code 1 will be assigned if the child has attended any such pre-school intervention programme and code 2 otherwise.
