Questions and instructions

Did you serve food to the guests (other than those served during ceremony) in the last 30 days?

Interviewer instructions

Only the meals served on non-ceremonial occasions during the reference period of 30 days proceeding the date of enquiry were to be recorded.

In this item the number of meals served by the household to its guests and to its employees, during the reference period of 30 days proceeding the date of enquiry on non-ceremonial occasions will be recorded in the box spaces provided against lines 1 and 2 respectively. While reckoning the number of meals served to guests, those meals which have already been accounted for in item 2 that is, 'meals served to guests during ceremonies 'should' not be counted in making entries in this item.

An employee of the household who lives under the same roof and takes food from the same household kitchen as the other members of the household do, should by NSS convention, be treated as a normal member of the household. Hence meals served to employee members should not be counted for making entry against line 2 of this item. The number of meals served to guests as well as employees will be totaled & recorded in the box space provided against line 3, i.e., total.
