    Series Information

    The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) has been set up by the Government of India in 1950 to collect socio-economic data employing scientific sampling methods. The NSSO conducts regular surveys as part of its “rounds”, each round being normally of a year's duration and covering more than one subject of study. The surveys are conducted through household interviews, using a random sample of households covering practically the entire geographical area of the country.
    The National Sample Survey (NSS) used to collect data on availability of various infrastructure facilities in the villages more or less regularly till the NSS 22nd round (July '67 to June '68). Again in 1991, a detailed survey on village facilities was conducted by the NSSO during its 47th round. The Governing Council of the NSSO decided to collect information on village facilities along with some information on availability of facilities for the disabled persons in the villages, as per recommendations of the Working Group for the 47th round.
    The field operations of the 47th NSS round commenced on 1st July 1991 and continued up to 31 Dec 1991. The field work for the survey was conducted, as usual, by the Field Operations Division of the Organisation. The collected data were processed by the Data Processing Division of NSSO and tabulated by the Computer Centre of Department of Statistics.

    Abstract

    Through this schedule, it is aimed to collect information relating to availability of some general facilities to the villagers like education, Facilities for cultural activities and health and Facilities for disabled persons. If a facility is available in general to the villagers, it is considered as a facility. The required information has been obtained by contacting the village officials and / or other knowl­edgeable person(s). In case they were not aware of the existence of a particular facility, the nearest Block Development Officer or other relat­ed Agencies were contacted for collection of the relevant information.

    Scope

    Notes

    A large section of India's population lives in rural areas. It was thus pertinent to know the quality of life of the people in the villages, which in turn largely depended on the facilities available to the villages.

    Also, policy interventions aimed at improving the quality of life in the villages demanded information on the facilities available to the people of rural India.

    Information on the availability of various infrastructural facilities in the villages used to be collected by the National Sample Survey, more or less regularly, till the NSS 22nd round. Thereafter such information was collected only in a few NSS rounds. During the NSS 47th round (July-December 1991), the main subject of which was ‘Disability and Culture’, a detailed survey on the facilities available to the villages was conducted.

    The enquiry included the collection of information on availability of facilities to the disabled persons in the sample villages.

    Weighting

    Multiplier has been posted for sub-sample and combined using the Directory data as per multiplier layout.WGT_Combined and WGT_Sub_Sample may be applied for estimation. However, it has been observed that estimate withthe WGT_Combined turns out to be 6295688 which seems to about 10 times more in comparision to Census 1991
    ie 634,321. Therefore, Multiplier may be divided by 10 to get the correct figure.

    Directory file and its layout are in the External Resources.
