National Sample Survey 2005-2006 (62nd round) - Schedule 2.2 - Unorganized Manufacturing Sector in India

Block 0: Descriptive identification of sample village/block (i.e. FSU)
General: This block is meant for recording descriptive identification particulars of the sample FSU. State/UT, district, tehsil / town name (tick-marking appropriately), village name, ward no. / investigator (IV) unit no., block no. are to be copied properly from the sample list in the appropriate places.

Block 1: identification of sample village/ block
General: This block is meant for recording the identification particulars of the sample FSU in terms of codes or numbers. The particulars relating to all the items will be recorded in box spaces provided in the block against each item (except for items 2 & 3, the codes of which are already printed). Each cell (box space) is meant for recording only one digit of the entry. For multiple cells, the rightmost cell shall be used for recording the digit of the unit place, the next left cell for the tenth place digit and so on.

Block 10: particulars relating to public works programme in the village
Particulars of field operations: The details of field operations will be recorded in this block. While recording the total time taken to canvass the sch. 0.0 (i.e. column 3, srl. no. 4 of this block), it may be noted that the time taken to reach the sample village and come back should not be considered for filling in this item. In other words, total time spent in identification of the boundaries of the sample village/block, hamlet-group/sub-block formation, listing of households, formation of second-stage strata, selection of households and filling in all other blocks of this schedule may be recorded in hours. All other items are self-explanatory.

Block 2: This block is meant for listing the bigger SSI enterprises located within each FSU as per DCSSI census, which are not under the coverage of ASI. The block will be filled-in only for FSUs belonging to rural sub-strata 1 & 2. These enterprises will be identified by SDRD from the DCSSI census (conducted in 2003) data by such criteria as having 6 or more workers, large gross value of output, etc. of the enterprise. The names of such SSI enterprises situated in the sample FSUs will be supplied to field offices. All these SSI units will be treated as forming a separate segment (segment 9) within the FSU.
Some of the columns of block 2 are same as some of the columns of block 5a and 5b. Columns 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of block 2 correspond to the columns 1, 3 19, 20, 21 and 22 of block 5a respectively. Similarly, columns 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of block 2 will correspond to the columns 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 of block 5b respectively. Column headings are also same in both cases.

Block 3: Sketch map of hamlet-group (hg)/sub-block (sb) formation
For large FSUs requiring hg/sb formation, the space provided in the block shall be used to draw a free hand sketch-map of the village (panchayat wards for Kerala)/ block showing the boundaries of the hamlets and hg's/sb's formed so that they may be identifiable in the field afterwards with the help of this map. It need not be drawn to scale. The serial numbers of the hamlets as given in column (1) of block 4.1 will be written down on the map against each hamlet. The hamlet-group number given in column (1) of block 4.2 to which the hamlet belongs will also be shown against each hamlet within brackets on the right side of the hamlet number. Similarly, sub-blocks will also be numbered in the map. The areas for the selected hg's / sb's shall be shaded in the map.

Block 4.1: List of hamlets (only for rural samples with hamlet-group formation)
This block is to be filled in only for the rural samples requiring formation of hamlet-groups (i.e. for D>1). All the hamlets located in the village will be listed in the specified order.
Columns (1) to (3): A running serial number for the hamlets will be given in column (1). Name of the hamlets will be written in column (2). Present population of each hamlet expressed as percentage of the total village population will be given in column (3) in whole numbers. Entries in column (3) should add up to 100.

Block 4.2: List and selection of hamlet-groups (hg's)/sub-blocks (sb's)
General: This block is meant for recording the details of the hg/sb formation and their selection for FSUs requiring hg/sb formation (i.e. with D>1). Reference may be made to paragraphs 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 (of the Instruction Manual for Field Staff) for the procedures of formation and numbering of hg's/sb's.
Column (1): serial no. of hg/sb: The hg's/sb's formed will be given a running serial number (starting from 1) in column (1) as per the guidelines given in paragraphs 2.0.3 and 2.0.4. The last serial number in this column will be the value of 'D' which is to be recorded against 'D' below the block heading.
Column (2): serial no. of hamlets in the hg (rural only): This column is to be filled up only for rural FSUs. The serial numbers of the hamlets recorded in column (1) of block 4.1 constituting each hamlet-group are to be recorded in column (2) separated by commas.
Column (3): (%) of population in the hg/sb: Approximate present population of the hg/sb in terms of percentage to total FSU population will be recorded in column (3) in whole number. Entries in this column should always add up to 100.
Column (4) - (5): Two hg's/sb's will be selected from the large FSU for the purpose of survey. The hg/sb for segment 1 will be slected purposively: the hg/sb with the maximum number of DMEs (or with maximum number of NDME if there is no DME or with maximum number of OAMEs if there is no DME/NDME or with maximum percentage share of population if there is no manufacturing enterprise in the entire FSU) will always be selected and termed as segment 1. Another hg/sb will be selected randomly and will be termed as segment 2.
Column (4): sampling serial number for hg/sb: Against the hg/sb chosen for segment 1, 0 will be entered in this column. Rest (D - 1) hg/sb will be given a running serial number starting from 1 in this column.
Column (5): segment number: '1' will be entered in column (5) against this hg/sb number '0' in column (4). Then a random number, say R, between 1 and (D - 1) will be drawn. Enter '2' in column (5) against the serial number in column (4), which is equal to R. This hg/sb will be termed as segment 2.

For all other hg's/sb's (except the two selected), column (5) may be left blank.

Blocks 5a and 5b: In these blocks, various information are to be given separately for each of the two segments selected for survey. When there is no hamlet-group/sub-block selection, the information in respect of the whole village/block shall be given against segment number '1' in these blocks.

Block 6: particulars of sampling of enterprises (for Schedule 2.2): In this block, particulars of sampling of enterprises shall be recorded.
Columns (5) to (10): Number of enterprises: Total number of enterprises in the frame for each SSS i.e. the entries for column (5), are the highest sampling serial numbers recorded in columns (30) to (35) respectively of block 5b. These highest entries are also recorded against the symbols 'E' appearing in the headings of columns (30) to (35) of block 5b. They may be recorded properly in column 5 of block 6 for each segment. Number of enterprises selected for survey shall be recorded in column (6). These numbers are also recorded against 'e' in the headings of column (36) to (41) of block 5b. Columns (7) and (8) shall be filled up on the basis of survey code recorded against item 20 of block 1 of schedule 2.2. Number of filled-in 2.2 schedules with survey codes 1 and 2 shall be recorded in columns (7) and (8) respectively. For entries relating to segment 9, block 2 will be the basis instead of block 5b. Number of enterprises for SSS numbers Chapter Two Schedule 0.0 Instructions to Field Staff, Vol. I: NSS 62nd round B-22 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be counted from column (13) of block 2 and entered against the corresponding SSS of segment 9 in block 6. Total number of surveyed enterprises shall be recorded in column (9). It may be seen that (i) column (9) = column (7) + column (8) and (ii) column (10) = column (6) - column (9). For segment 9, column (10) = column (5) - column (9). The row for 'all' will give the totals of the relevant columns.

Block 7: particulars of sampling of households (for schedules 1.0 and 10): Particulars of sampling of households, separately for schedules 1.0 and 10 for each of the segments 1 & 2 will be recorded in this block. If there is no hg/sb formation, entry will be made against segment 1.
Column (3): population: Population as obtained by summing up the page totals of household sizes in column (4) of block 5a over all the listed households may be recorded in this column separately for segments 1 & 2 against the rows for schedule 1.0. The total of populations of segment 1 & 2 will be recorded in the cell against 'all'.
Columns (5) to (10): number of households listed: Total number of households in the frame of each SSS of schedules 1.0 and 10 will be recorded in the corresponding cells of column (5) for each segment. Number of selected households will be copied in column (6). These are to be copied from the relevant columns of block 5a. References are as below:
Schedule 1.0: Column (5) entries for SSS are same as the value of 'H' recorded in heading spaces of columns (9) and (10) of block 5a for each segment. Column (6) entries will be equal to the value of 'h' recorded in heading spaces of columns (11) and (12) of block 5a for that combination of segment × SSS.
Schedule 10: Column (5) entries for SSS are same as the value of 'H' recorded in heading spaces of columns (13), (14) and (15) of block 5a for each segment. Column (6) entries will be the value of 'h' recorded in heading spaces of columns (16), (17) & (18) of block 5a.
Columns (7), (8) and (10) of block 7 may be filled up on the basis of survey codes given in item 18, block 1 of the respective schedules. The entries in columns (7), (8) & (10) will be the number of filled-in schedules with the survey codes 1, 2 & 3 in the corresponding schedules respectively. Total number households surveyed will be entered in column (9). It may be seen that (i) column (9) = column (7) + column (8) and (ii) column (10) = column (6) - column (9).
Column(11): number of replaced household: Total number of households for schedule 10 replaced (being already selected for schedule 1.0) will be reported for all SSS separately for segment 1 & 2 against the rows for schedule 10. Entries will be the number of double circles in columns (13), (14) & (15) of block 5a for each segment. Entry against 'all' will be sum of the entries for all SSS for segments 1 & 2
