This block will be filled in for all the household members reported to have the place of enumeration (i.e. the sample village/town where the survey is carried out) different from the last usual residence in block 4.1 (i.e., those with 'code-1' as the entries in column (19) of block 4.1).

In such a case only the reason which motivated his/her first movement will be recorded. The codes to be used for making entries in this column are:
