Interviewer instructions
Items 16 and 17: primary source of energy used for cooking and lighting: Against these two items, the code corresponding to the primary source of energy that is used by the household for cooking and the primary source of energy used for lighting during the last 30 days preceding the date of survey will be recorded. If more than one type of energy is used, the primary or principal one on the basis of its extent of use will have to be identified and the corresponding code will be noted in the appropriate box.
Note that a hostel student taking meals in the hostel mess will be considered as having no cooking arrangement.
