Questions and instructions

Literal question
How much area is under settled cultivation?
Interviewer instructions
Depending upon the entry against item 9, area under settled or under settled or under shifting cultivation or under both will be recorded in 0.00 acre. Although there may not be much of a problem in collecting information in respect of settled cultivation, area under shifting cultivation may not be readily available. Plots of land under shifting cultivation are not usually measured in the way it is done in the case of plain land under settled cultivation. The informant may give some idea of the length and breadth of the plots by some unconventional measures, such as, number of foot steps, number of bamboo poles of certain length, seed ratio etc. The area will, thus, be estimated and converted into acres and then recorded here.
