Interviewer instructions
For the persons of age 15 years and above and not 'working' as per the usual principal status i.e. those of age 15 + with codes 81-97 in col. 3, the information as to whether the person has acquired any of the listed skills as on the date of survey is to be recorded in this column. Skill is defined as any marketable expertise. It is neither necessary that such a skill is acquired in any formal manner nor that the person is actually marketing it or intends to market it. When a person has acquired skill in more than one of the listed skills, the skill in which the person is more proficient will be considered. Skill will be recorded irrespective of the level of general and technical education.
