Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
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 57th NSS round commenced on 1st July 2001 and continued up to 30th June 2002. 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.
Data layout of this round is not in accordance with the questionnaire. Some additional variables have been generated for tabulation which the users can ignore.
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.

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-8.1 : Annual household expenditure on education and medical (institutional) goods and services has been recorded here.
Block-8.2 : Monthly household expenditure on miscellaneous goods and services including medical (non-institutional), rents and taxes has been recorded here.
Block-9 : Annual 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-11 : Summary of household consumer expenditure has been recorded here.
The survey will cover the whole of the Indian Union except
(i) Leh and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir,
(ii) interior villages of Nagaland situated beyond five kilometers of the bus route and
(iii) villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which remain inaccessible throughout the year.

Sample Design
A stratified multi-stage design was followed for this survey. The first stage units (FSUs) were villages (Panchayat wards for Kerala) / UFS blocks (wards for 61 towns of Karnataka where UFS blocks were not used during EC '98 work) [hereinafter referred to as 61 towns of Karnataka] and the ultimate stage units (USUs) were enterprises and households. For larger FSUs requiring hamlet group (hg)/ sub-block (sb) formation, another stage was the selection of hg's / sb's.
Sampling frame:
List of EconomicCensus 1998 (EC '98) villages (Panchayat wards for Kerala) / UFS blocks (wards for 61 towns of Karnataka) was taken as the sampling frame for FSUs. General strata was formed from the
remaining FSUs in the following manner.
Rural: In the rural areas each NSS region was treated as a stratum.
Urban: In the urban areas, strata was formed within an NSS region as under:
(i) towns with population (P) less than or equal to 10 lakhs and
(ii) each town with P > 10 lakhs as per Population Census 1991.
Total sample size (FSUs):
A total of 15869 samples (FSUs) were allocated for the central sample in this round. The corresponding figure for state sample was 17291. All states and UTs (except A & N Islands, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep) participated at least on an equal matching basis.
Two different weights have been provided in each file in the data set. Details are as follows:-
