    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 consumer expenditure 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. Surveys on consumer expenditure are being conducted quinquennially on a large sample of households from the 27th round (October 1972 - September 1973) onwards. Apart from these quinquennial surveys, the NSSO collected information on consumer expenditure from a smaller sample of households since 42nd round (July 1986 - June 1987). Nowadays every round of NSS includes a consumer expenditure survey (CES), giving rise to an annual series of consumption data. The field operations of the 53rd NSS round commenced on 1st January 1997 and continued up to 31st December 1997. The household consumer expenditure schedule, used for the survey, collected information on quantity and value of household consumption with a reference period of “last 30 days” for some items of consumption. To minimise recall errors, a very detailed item classification was, as usual, adopted to collect information. 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. The reports have been prepared by Survey Design & Research Division (SDRD) of NSSO under the guidance of the Governing Council, NSSO.

    Abstract

    The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) has been carrying out All-India surveys on consumer expenditure. While some of these smaller-scale surveys are spread over a full year and others over six months only, the quinquennial (full-scale) surveys have all been of a full year's duration. Household consumer expenditure is measured as the expenditure incurred by a household on domestic account during a specified period, called reference period. It includes the imputed values of goods and services, which are not purchased but procured otherwise for consumption. In other words, it is the sum total of monetary values of all the items (i.e. goods and services) consumed by the household on domestic account during the reference period. Any expenditure incurred towards the productive enterprises of the households is also excluded from household consumer expenditure. To minimise recall errors, a very detailed item classification is adopted to collect information, including items of food, items of fuel, items of clothing, bedding and footwear, items of educational and medical expenses, items of durable goods and other items. The schedule has also collected some other household particulars including age, sex and educational level etc. of each household member. The schedule design for the survey is more or less similar to that adopted in the previous rounds.

    Notes

    The NSSO surveys on consumer expenditure aim to measure the household consumer expenditure in quantitative terms disaggregated by various household characteristics.

    The data for this survey is collected in the NSS Schedule 1.0 used for household consumer expenditure. For this round, the schedule had the following blocks.

    Blocks 1 and 2 - are similar to the ones used in usual NSS rounds. These are used to record identification of sample households and particulars of field operations.

    Block-3: Household characteristics like, household size, principal industry-occupation, social group, land possessed, primary source of energy used for cooking and lighting etc. have been recorded in this block.

    Block-4: In this block detailed demographic particulars including age, sex, educational level, marital status, number of meals usually taken in a day etc. has been recorded.

    Block-5: In this block cash purchase and household consumption of food, pan, tobacco and intoxicants during the last 30 days have been recorded.

    Block-5.1: In this block cash purchase and household consumption of fuel and light during the last 30 days have been recorded.

    Block-6: Monthly household consumption of clothing has been recorded in this block.

    Block-7: Monthly household consumption of footwear has been recorded in this block.

    Block-8 : Household expenditure on miscellaneous goods and services and rents and taxes during the last 30 days has been recorded in this block.

    Block-8.1 : Monthly household expenditure on education and medical (institutional) goods and services has been recorded here.

    Block-8.2 : Monthly household expenditure on medical (non-institutional) goods and services has been recorded here.

    Block-9 : Monthly household expenditure for purchase and construction (including repairs) of durable goods for domestic use has been recorded here.

    Block-10 : Perception of households regarding sufficiency of food has been recorded here.

    Block-12 : Summary of household consumer expenditure has been recorded here.

    Coverage

    Geographic Coverage

    The survey covered the whole of the Indian Union except
    (i) Ladakh and Kargil districts of J & K,
    (ii) 768 interior villages of Nagaland situated beyond 5 kms of the bus route and
    (iii) 195 villages of A & N Islands which remain inaccessible throughout the year.

    Universe

    The survey used the interview method of data collection from a sample of randomly selected households and members of the household.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    As usual, a stratified two-stage design is adopted for the current round. The first-stage units are census villages in the rural sector (panchayat wards in case of Kerala) and the NSSO urban frame survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. The second-stage units are households in both the sectors.

    SAMPLING FRAME FOR FIRST STAGE UNITS : The lists of census villages of 1991 census (1981 census list for J & K ) constitute the sampling frame for the rural sector. For Kerala, however, the list of panchayat wards has been used as the sampling frame for selection of panchayat wards in the rural sector. For Nagaland, the villages located within 5 kms. of a bus route constitute the sampling frame whereas, for Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the list of 'accessible' villages constitutes the sampling frame. For the urban sector, the lists of NSSO Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks have been considered as the sampling frame.

    STRATIFICATION
    RURAL : In the rural sector, each district is treated as a separate stratum. However, if the 1991 census population of the district is greater than or equal to 2 million (1.8 million population as per 1981 census for J & K) , the districts is split into two or more strata, by grouping contiguous thesis to form strata. In Gujarat, in the case of districts extending over more than one NSS region, the part of a district falling within each NSS region forms a separate stratum.

    URBAN : In the urban sector, strata are formed, within each NSS region, by grouping towns on the basis of the population size class of towns.

    The total number of sampling units (i.e. villages and blocks) to be surveyed in the present round was fixed at 13,224 for the Central sample and 14,876 for the State sample.

    Weighting

    Two different weights have been provided in each file in the data set. Details are as follows:-

    1. Weight for each sub sample is stored in the variable name : Wgt_SubSample
    2. Combined subsample weight is stored in the variable name : Wgt_Combined
