Interviewer instructions
The number of days for which the member 'stayed away from home ' during the 30 days preceding the date of enquiry should be recorded here. A continuous absence from home for 24 hours will be reckoned as a 'day stayed away'. That
is, the entry will be made in completed number of days and any fraction of a day will be ignored. The location of the place
where the person stayed, having been away from his/her own household, may also be within the same village/town and staying away will not only mean physical absence but also non- participation in food consumption from his/her own household.
