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

Data file: NSS62_Sch22_bk_4-1_5

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.
