Interviewer instructions
5.1.4 Items 18 - 21: Primary informant: The name of the primary informant i.e., the person from whom bulk of the information will be collected is to be recorded against item 18. The information as to whether schedule 10 or schedule 1.0 is 'canvassed' first will be indicated against item 19. Code 1 will be recorded if schedule 10 is 'canvassed' first and code 2, if 'canvassed' second. For this purpose, filling in of the major part of the schedule will be considered as 'canvassing' of the schedule. Whether the primary informant is the head of the household or any other member of the household will be indicated against item 20 in terms of code '1' and code '2' respectively. If the primary informant is not a member of the household, code '9' will be recorded. The type of the primary informant, i.e., whether he is co-operative, busy, etc., will be recorded against item 21 in terms of the specified codes. The codes are:

Co-operative and capable .. 1
Co-operative but not capable ..... 2
