Sampling
As usual, a stratified sampling design is adopted in this round. The first stage units are census villages (panchayat wards in case of Kerala) in the rural sector and the NSSO Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. The ultimate stage units are households in both the sectors.
Sampling frame for first stage units
(a) Rural : The lists of census villages of 1991 population census (1981 census list for J & K) constitute the sampling frame for the rural sector. For Kerala, however, the list of panchayat wards has been used as the sampling frame for selection of panchayat wards in the rural sector. For Nagaland, the villages located within 5 kms. of a bus route constitute the sampling frame, whereas, for Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the list of accessible villages constitutes the sampling frame.
(b) Urban : The lists of latest UFS blocks have been considered as the sampling frame for all cities and towns.
Stratification
(a) Rural : At first, the following three strata (namely strata types 1, 2 & 3) are formed at the level of each state/u.t.:-
Stratum 1 : list of uninhabited villages(as per '91 census).
stratum 2 : villages with population 1 to 50 (including both the boundaries)
stratum 3 : villages with population more than 15,000
Strata types 1, 2 & 3 above are formed provided there are at least 10 villages in each of the strata types in the state/u.t. as per 1991 population census. Otherwise, these villages are included in the general strata as described below :
After formation of the strata types 1, 2 & 3 (wherever applicable), the remaining villages of the state/u.t. are considered for formation of general strata. Each district with population less than 2 million as per 1991 census forms a separate stratum (however, district having a population of 2 million or more is divided into a number of strata as per usual procedure followed in NSS). For Gujarat, some districts cut across NSS regions. In such cases, the part of a district falling in an NSS region forms a separate stratum.
(b) Urban : Strata are formed within NSS region by grouping towns.
Sample size - first stage units: In all, 10,974 villages were planned to be surveyed in this round. Of these, 5,242 villages were allocated to the Central sample which was the part surveyed mainly by the NSSO field staff. The remaining villages were allocated to the State sample, which was the part to be surveyed by the State agencies. In the urban sector, the allocations for the Central and State samples were 1,788 and 2,256, respectively. The number of villages and urban blocks actually surveyed as the Central sample were 5,115 and 1,745, respectively.
Sample size - second stage units: For Schedule 31, a sample of 16 households from every selected village (or hamlet group) and 18 households from every selected urban block was planned to be surveyed. In the Central sample, the actual number of households surveyed was 78,990 in the rural sector and 31,323 in the urban sector.
There was no deviation from the original sampling design.
Two different weights have been provided in each file in the data set. Details are as follows:-
- Weight for each sub sample is stored in the variable name : MLT_SubSample
- Combined subsample weight is stored in the variable name : MLT_Combined

Substitution of villages/blocks : If a sample village/block could not be surveyed due to say, it being not identifiable or traceable, not accessible or for any other reason, it would be substituted. All such cases were referred to the Deputy Director at NSSO.
If any sample household could not be surveyed due to some reason or other, it would be substituted by another suitable household. The household to be considered as substitute would also belong to the same second-stage stratum. The household with the next sampling serial number of the same column( same m.l. code for sch.1.0 ) would be the substitute for the originally selected household. The substitute for the last household (i.e. having highest serial number) of a column (m.l. code for sch.1.0 ) would be the first household (i.e. having lowest serial number) of the same column.
