Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Individual information</span>
<br />After collecting the introductory and household information of data sheet 1, there are questions for individual information collection on the right side of the page. To write individual information, a row has been allocated for each member of the family. Sequence and rules for information collection have been put accordingly. In line with this, ask the question and fill the information. The response of each individual question should be written in the respective column.</p>
<p><span class="em">Column 9: what religion does [the respondent] follow?</span>
<br />Religion means the culture and belief the people follow. During the time of enumeration, ask the religion of each member in the family is following and write the religion in this column. Keep in the mind that the religion followed by each member in the family might be different and write impartially the religion followed by each member by asking each of them. Some of the gods or goddess are respected by more than one religion or community. E.g. Mahadev, Bhimsen, Buddha, etc. are respected generally by more than one religion or community. Hence, it is not appropriate to identify the religion of a person on the basis of respect or worship to any god or goddess. During the interview, if any member in the family responds that he or she do not follow any religion, this should be written under "not following any religion" as he or she said.
