Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Individual information</span>
<br />After collecting the introductory and household information of data sheet 1, there are questions for individual information collection on the right side of the page. To write individual information, a row has been allocated for each member of the family. Sequence and rules for information collection have been put accordingly. In line with this, ask the question and fill the information. The response of each individual question should be written in the respective column.</p>

<p><span class="em">Column 11: what is [the respondent] citizenry or nationality?</span><div class="i1">[] 1 Nepal<br />[] 2 India<br />[] 3 China<br />[] 4 Other ____</div><p>Citizenry refers to such person who has entitled to exercise the citizen rights of the concerned country. That means the person who can use the citizen entitlement and right is the citizen of the country. As per the constitution and laws of each country, the citizens of a country are using their citizen rights or can use them and be the citizen of that country. Each person is a citizen of a country but some persons have not taken their citizenship certificate. The people living in Nepal can be divided into two groups on the basis of citizenship - a. Nepalese citizen b. foreign citizen (of other countries). </p>

<p>Law has provided that any person can be a citizen of one country at a time. But all persons might not have received citizenship certificate. For example, children under 16 years do not receive citizenship certificate but they are using the citizen rights. For many reasons, many adult citizens also have not taken citizenship, but are using their citizen rights or have the status to use their citizen rights. Similarly, foreign citizens might have also lived in Nepal for different purposes and work. Foreign citizens covered by the enumeration definition should also be enumerated. In that situation, those people to be enumerated would be citizens of their respective country. Hence, identify their citizenship at the time of enumeration and circle the respective country's reference number. While making circle to the respective reference number to specify the citizenship of a person, circle the reference 1 if they are citizens of Nepal, circle the reference 2 if they are citizens of India, and circle the reference 3 if they are citizens of China. If the person does not belong to any of the above, circle the reference 4 and specify the country by asking him/her (e.g. Bangladesh, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, France, Germany, America, etc.). If a person is using the rights of more than one country, write the name of the country to which he prefers to belong most.
