Interviewer instructions
The right of use of village commons will be recorded in codes for each of the categories found in the village (that is with a positive entry for in the column for area) in the column provided. If a category of commons is not found within the village the corresponding cell for recording right of use will be crossed. A number of activities are carried out on common village land by the villagers which add directly to their consumption or generate income. The villagers use the commons for grazing livestock, collection of food, fuel, fodder and a variety of materials used for construction of house, other household use and household enterprise. The right of use of a particular category of CPR is often restricted, either legally or conventionally, to a section of the villagers. Different categories of the commons may be subject to restrictions of different kinds. The code-structure for this item, provides for just the following five codes:
No right of community use on any part ... ... ... ... ... ... 1

and partly for all villagers ... ... ... ... ... ... 4
Entirely for all villagers ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 5
For each category of commons in the village, the right of use will be ascertained and an appropriate code will be recorded in the column.

Description
Definition
Common property land resources include community pastures, village forests & woodlots, village sites, common dumping and threshing grounds. The control and management of village pastures and grazing grounds is vested with the village panchayats. There may be some other land formally held by the panchayat or a community of the village. For this block, 'commons' will include only such land resources which are formally under the control and management of Panchayat or a community of the village. However, land put to non-agricultural uses, except water bodies will be excluded.
Panchayat land, even when given on lease to others, will be considered as common property in all cases for the present survey. Thus, panchayat land given on tree patta to individuals will also be included in CPR.
Village Panchayat grazing land / pasture land: This a well defined category of land in the classification used in official land-use records. Traditionally, grazing and pastureland has been the most important constituent of CPR land. Many villages have land earmarked as permanent pastures / grazing land. These are variously known as gauchar, gochar, gairan, gomal etc. Villagers have user right on permanent pastures by legal sanction. Care should, however, taken to exclude the area of village woodlots brought up on the grazing / pasture land.
