Interviewer instructions
Columns (12) to (19): Participation of the household member in public works: Information in columns (12) to (19) will be collected for rural areas (rural samples) only and for persons of age 15 years and above. Concepts of public works have been explained in Chapter One.
Column (17) to (19): These columns will be filled in for those household members who sought but did not get work in public works, i.e., with entry 2 in column (12).
Column (17): Whether made any complaint to any authority: There are provisions in some schemes under the public works that a person, who is eligible to get public work but did not get it, not due to his/ her inability to get such work, but for reasons, entirely attributable to the authorities/ agencies entrusted with the task of executing the public work, may make a complaint to panchayat or BDO/ SDO/ other Govt. official of the authorities/agencies responsible for sponsoring or execution of the public works. The complaint may be either written or oral. There may be cases where the household member had not complained but knew that there was provision for complaining, or the household member had not known that provision for complaining existed.
In the cases where more than one public works were undertaken in and around the locality during the last 365 days, the situation for the household member will be judged considering all such works. If more than one of the four situations, given above, is obtained for a household member in respect of the public works undertaken in the locality, the relevant code appearing first in the code list will be considered and recorded.
