Interviewer instructions

generally, for domestic purpose, now-a-days stick is used to make fire. But there are still some remote places where match sticks are not available and the tribals use traditional method of making fire by striking a piece of stone against another. The actual practice of the household is to be ascertained and the appropriate code is to be entered. The codes are : match stick - 1; traditional method-2; others - 9. Sometimes, fire may be preserved by the household for use as and when required. In that case, the appropriate code will be 9 unless the household use any other method for making fire.
