<svar a="all" v="NP01A410 NP01A411 NP01A451 NP01A412 NP01A413"><span class="em">Column 4: Where is ____ place of birth?</span><br /><div class="i1">[] 1. Same district<br />[] 2. Other district ____</div><br /><div class="i2">(1) VDC<br />(2) Municipality</div><br /><div class="i1">[] 3. Other country ____</div><br /><br />Place of birth means where a person was born: indicate district if it is in Nepal and country if it is in another country. Birth may take place in a house, hospital, nursing home or other places like the ones mentioned above. For the purpose of enumeration, the place of birth refers to the usual place of residence of the mother during the birth of a person. If it is in the native country then the district should be recorded, or if it is in another country then the name of the country should be recorded. Even though the place of birth is in hospital, nursing home or other places like the ones mentioned above, which is used for the facilities, the place of birth should be the usual place of residence of mother at that time.<br /><br />In the counting process, the birth place of all persons of all ages (infant, child, young, old) should be mentioned. If the birth place of a person is in Nepal, then mention the name of the current district of that place e.g. if the place of birth is in the currently living district (at the time of enumeration) then encircle code 1 to denote the same district. If place of birth is in the other district then encircle code 2 and specify the current name of the district of that place, e.g. Dolakha, Kailali, Bajhang etc. For denoting the place of birth as rural (VDC) or urban (Municipality) at the time of birth, encircle code 1 if it was VDC or 2 if it was municipality. If the place of birth is another country then encircle code 3 and specify the name of the country where the birth took place e.g. India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Germany etc.<br /><br /><span class="ital">Note</span>:<br /><div class="i1">1. The question on place of birth should be canvassed for all persons (infant, children, young and old) and the place of district or country should be specified.<br /> 2. For the person whose place of birth is in the currently living district - or having encircle code 1 of this column - there is no need to ask column 5 of this Schedule.</div><br /></svar>
