Interviewer instructions
In a particular trip different members might have undertaken the trip because of different purposes. Suppose the household member gives the purpose of a trip as 'business'. To ascertain the purpose, the household member may be asked - “Would you have undertaken the trip if no business was needed to be done?” The purpose would be taken as 'business' only if the answer is 'no'. In this way the purpose of each individual member who undertook the trip is to be recorded here.

The codes are -

Business -1 Education & training -5
Holidaying, leisure and recreation -2 Health & medical -6
Social (including visiting friends and relatives, attending marriages, etc.) -3 Shopping -7
Pilgrimage & religious activities -4 Others -9

Note: There may be exceptional situations where no one purpose can be identified as the unique purpose. In such a case, the purpose will be identified as that purpose which the informant considers to be the most important for the trip member.
