The scope of the enquiry is confined mainly to building constructions in the household sector. Constructions undertaken by housing cooperative societies and other non-household institutions such as clubs have also been covered.

The survey period of this round was July 1988 to June 1989. This round has been devoted to mainly three enquiries. First and foremost, there has been an enquiry on the living condition of the tribal population.  Of the other two, one is concerned with the housing condition of the general population and the other is a survey on current building construction activity. For the purpose of this enquiry, \u201ctribal population\u201d mean the members of the Scheduled Tribes declared under the Article 342 of the Constitution of India. They are known to be the descendants of the earliest inhabitants of India (hence called \u201cAdivasis\u201d). At present, in most parts of India, they form one of the economically weakest sections of the society.

The second stage units are households.\n\nThe sample design in the rural sector has been decided with a view to providing good estimates for the tribal enquiry.  Except in the north-eastern region, the tribal population is concentrated in some districts within the states having considerable tribal population and even in those districts they are found to be unevenly distributed geographically.  Therefore special stratification and selection procedures have been adopted not only to net sufficient number of tribal households in the sample but also to improve the design in general for the tribal enquiry.\n\nWhile the rural design is oriented towards the tribal enquiry, the urban design is oriented towards the enquiry on construction. As building construction activity is found to be concentrated in some areas in the urban sector, attempts have been made in urban design to demarcate such areas in larger towns as separate strata.  Detailed description of the rural and urban sample designs are as follows:\n\nSAMPLE DESIGN : RURAL\n\nSampling frame of villages:\t\nThe list of 1981 census villages constitute  the sampling frame for selection of villages in most districts.  However in Assam (where '81 census was not done) and a few districts of some other states (where the available lists of villages were not satisfactory), 1971 census village lists have been used as frame.\n\nStratification :\t  \nIn Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Chandigarh, Delhi, Goa, Daman & Diu and Pondicherry where there are practically no tribal population, the strata used in NSS 43rd round were retained.  In Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep also the strata of 43rd round were retained because of the high percentage of ST population in these States\/U.T.'s.  (The strata of 43rd round have been retained in the case of Sikkim as the distribution of tribal population is more or less uniform over all the districts). In the remaining states fresh stratification was carried out as described below.\n\nIn these states all districts accounting for the bulk of the state's tribal population were selected for formation of strata with concentration of tribal population. Besides these districts, tribal concentration strata have been demarcated also in some other districts with relatively small tribal population in order to ensure coverage of as many different ethnic groups as possible. \n\nWithin each district so identified for formation of tribal concentration strata, the tehsils with relatively high concentration of tribal population, together constituted one stratum.  These tehsils were selected in such a way that together they accounted for the bulk (70% or  more) of the district tribal population and the proportion of tribal to total population  in this stratum was significantly greater than that of the district as a whole.  The strata so formed were not always geographically contiguous.  These tribal concentration strata are called STRATUM TYPE -1.   Further, all the strata of Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Lakshadweep and Sikkim are also considered as stratum type-1.  All the remaining strata in the rural sector (in any State\/U.T.)  are called stratum type -2.","sampling_deviation":"There was no deviation from the original sampling design.","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"NSS Round 44 Schedule 29.2 consists of 17 blocks as enumerated below:   \n\nBlock 1:\tidentification of sample household\nBlock 2:\tparticulars of field operations\nBlock 3:\tremarks by investigator\nBlock 4:\tremarks by supervisory officer (s)\nBlock 5:\thousehold characteristics\nBlock 6:\tdemographic particulars of household members\nBlock 7:\tparticulars of assistance received by the household during last 3 years \nBlock 8:\tparticulars of land owned and possessed\nBlock 9:\tparticulars of disposal of land during last 5 years\nBlock 10:\tinformation on input items for cultivation during 1987-88\nBlock 11:\tparticulars of crops produced during 1987-88\nBlock 12:\tparticulars of wage employment in forest and forestry operation \t\nBlock 13:\tparticulars of forest produce collected, consumed at home and sold by household members during last 30 days as self-employed \nBlock 14:\tparticulars of household enterprise (other than cultivation) during last 30 days\nBlock 15:\tparticulars of products (other than forest products) marketed during last 30 days\nBlock 16 :\t inventory of assets owned on the date of survey\nBlock 17 : cash dues and grain & other commodity dues payable by the household as on the date of survey and particulars of transaction of loans during last 365 days"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"Computer Centre","affiliation":"M\/O Statistics and Programme Implementation","email":"nssodata@gmail.com","uri":"http:\/\/mospi.nic.in\/Mospi_New\/site\/home.aspx"}],"conditions":"Validated unit level data relating to various survey rounds are available on CD-ROMS which can be obtained from the Deputy Director General, Computer Centre, M\/O Statistics and PI, East Block No. 10 R.K.
