Interviewer instructions
The legal status of the forest in the vicinity of the village is to be ascertained and recorded in terms of the following codes:

Reserved forest ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..1
Protected forest .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...2
Community or village or Van Panchayat forest .. ..... 3
Other unclassed forest ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. 4


Note that a community or village or Van Panchayat forest may be reported to be in the vicinity of the sample village, which belongs to some other village. Ordinarily, the villagers of the sample village are not expected to have any legitimate right of use of such a forest. Since, this item is expected to reflect the rights of use of the villagers of the sample village, code '3' will not be applicable in such cases -- these will be assigned code '4'.
