Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
The programme of quinquennial surveys on consumer expenditure and employment & unemployment, adopted by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) since 1972-73, provides a time series of household consumer expenditure data. Consumer expenditure surveys conducted in NSS rounds besides the 'quinquennial rounds' - starting from the 42nd round (July 1986 - June 1987) - also provide data on the subject for the period between successive quinquennial rounds, using a much smaller sample. The last survey - the sixth - of the quinquennial series was held during the 55th round (July 1999-June 2000). The seventh was conducted in the 61st round during July 2004 - June 2005.
Household consumer expenditure is measured as the expenditure incurred by a household on domestic account during a specified period, called reference period. It includes the imputed values of goods and services, which are not purchased but procured otherwise for consumption. In other words, it is the sum total of monetary values of all the items (i.e. goods and services) consumed by the household on domestic account during the reference period. The imputed rent of owner-occupied houses is excluded from consumption expenditure. Any expenditure incurred towards the productive enterprises of the households is also excluded from household consumer expenditure.
The word “consumption” is used in different senses. The main reason for this is that some items can be used only once while others can be used repeatedly. A household consumer expenditure survey, therefore, needs to assign different meanings to consumption for different items. The NSS traditionally uses three different definitions or approaches to consumption of different items: Consumption approach, Expenditure approach and First-use approach. Items of consumption have been classified into four groups. The Consumption approach is used for Group I, the First-use approach for Group II and the Expenditure approach for Groups III and IV. The four groups of items are:
Group I: Items of food other than 'cooked meals*', pan, tobacco and intoxicants and fuel and light: Consumption is the actual consumption during the reference period. Both quantity and value of such consumption are collected.
Group II: Items of clothing and footwear: An item is consumed if it is brought into first use during the reference period. The item may or may not be procured within the reference period. It can be procured through purchase or home production, or as gift or charity. Both quantity and value are collected.
Group III: Durable goods: Any expenditure incurred on an item for purchase or towards cost of raw materials and services for its construction and repair during the reference period is treated as consumption of the item.
Group IV: Cooked meals; Miscellaneous goods and services including education, medical, rent, taxes and cesses: Any expenditure incurred on the item during the reference period is treated as consumption of the item. Consumption is recorded in value terms only.
The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) has been carrying out All-India surveys on consumer expenditure. While some of these smaller-scale surveys are spread over a full year and others over six months only, the quinquennial (full-scale) surveys have all been of a full year's duration. Household consumer expenditure is measured as the expenditure incurred by a household on domestic account during a specified period, called reference period. It includes the imputed values of goods and services, which are not purchased but procured otherwise for consumption. In other words, it is the sum total of monetary values of all the items (i.e. goods and services) consumed by the household on domestic account during the reference period. Any expenditure incurred towards the productive enterprises of the households is also excluded from household consumer expenditure. To minimise recall errors, a very detailed item classification is adopted to collect information, including items of food, items of fuel, items of clothing, bedding and footwear, items of educational and medical expenses, items of durable goods and other items. The schedule has also collected some other household particulars including age, sex and educational level etc. of each household member.

Schedule 1.0 of the 61st NSS round consists of the following blocks:
Block 0: Descriptive identification of sample household: This block is meant for recording descriptive identification particulars of a sample household.
Block 1: Identification of sample household
Block 2: Particulars of field operation: The identity of the Investigator, Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent associated, date of survey/inspection/scrutiny of schedules, despatch, etc., has been recorded in this block against the appropriate items in the relevant columns.
Block 3: Household characteristics:
Characteristics which are mainly intended to be used to classify the households for tabulation has been recorded in this block.
Block 4: Demographic and other particulars of household members: All members of the sample household have been listed in this block. Demographic particulars (viz., relation to head, sex, age, marital status and general education) and number of meals taken have been recorded for each member using one line for one member.
Block 5: Consumption of food, pan, tobacco and intoxicants during the last 30 days. Information on an item has been recorded only if it is consumed.
Block 6: Consumption of fuel & light during the last 30 days.
Block 7: Consumption of clothing, bedding, etc. during the last 30 days and the last 365 days.
Block 8: Consumption of footwear during the last 30 days and the last 365 days.
Block 9: Expenditure on education and medical (institutional) goods and services during the last 30 days and the last 365 days.
Block 10: Expenditure on miscellaneous goods and services including medical (non-institutional), rents and taxes during the last 30 days.
Block 11: expenditure for purchase and construction (including repair and maintenance) of durable goods for domestic use during last 30 days and last 365 days.
Block 12: Perception of household regarding sufficiency of food
The survey covered the whole of the Indian Union except (i) Leh (Ladakh) and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir, (ii) interior villages of Nagaland situated beyond five kilometres of the bus route and (iii) villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which remain inaccessible throughout the year.

Sample Design
Outline of sample design: A stratified multi-stage design has been adopted for the 61st round survey. The first stage units (FSU) were the 2001 census villages in the rural sector and Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. The ultimate stage units (USU) were households in both the sectors. In case of large villages/blocks requiring hamlet-group (hg)/sub-block (sb) formation, one intermediate stage was the selection of two hgs/sbs from each FSU.
Sampling Frame for First Stage Units: For the rural sector, the list of 2001 census villages (panchayat wards for Kerala) constituted the sampling frame. For the urban sector, the list of latest available Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks were considered as the sampling frame.
Stratification: Within each district of a State/UT, two basic strata were formed: i) rural stratum comprising of all rural areas of the district and (ii) urban stratum comprising of all the urban areas of the district. However, if there are one or more towns with population 10 lakhs or more as per population census 2001 in a district, each of them also formed a separate basic stratum and the remaining urban areas of the district were considered as another basic stratum. There were 27 towns with population 10 lakhs or more at all-India level as per census 2001.
Sub-stratification:
Rural sector: If ‘r’ be the sample size allocated for a rural stratum, the number of sub-strata formed were ‘r/2’. The villages within a district as per frame were first arranged in ascending order of population. Then sub-strata 1 to ‘r/2’ were demarcated in such a way that each sub-stratum comprised a group of villages of the arranged frame and had more or less equal population.
Urban sector: If ‘u’ be the sample size for a urban stratum, ‘u/2’ number of sub-strata were formed. The towns within a district, except those with population 10 lakhs or more, were first arranged in ascending order of population. Next, UFS blocks of each town were arranged by IV unit no. × block no. in ascending order. From this arranged frame of UFS blocks of all the towns, ‘u/2’ number of sub-strata were formed in such a way that each sub-stratum had more or less equal number of UFS blocks.
For towns with population 10 lakhs or more, the urban blocks were first arranged by IV unit no. × block no. in ascending order. Then ‘u/2’ number of sub-strata were formed in such a way that each sub-stratum had more or less equal number of blocks.
Total sample size (FSUs): 12984 FSUs have been allocated at all-India level on the basis of investigator strength in different States/UTs for central sample and 14104 for state sample.
There was no deviation from the original sampling design.
