Interviewer instructions

time in years in months if less than one year

Record years and months living at the present residence, starting from the last
migration to this present place of residence. Assuming that a person had been living in district A
(Enumeration District) for 5 years, after a time of migration, he returned and lived for two more
years, and migrated to an other place and has come back to District A for 3 years and 4 months at
the time of the interview, the result for this question would be to record in the column “years” 3
(years) and column “months” will be recorded as 4 (months). In the question asking about
months, if it has been more than 5 years then this information is not so important. Months is still
recorded, but it is not necessary to spend much time on asking and identifying the exact months
