All the plots owned wholly or partly by the sample household on the date of survey will be given separate serial numbers in q1. serial number '99' indicate 'grand total'..

For each plot listed in this block, the jurisdiction within which the plot is located will be ascertained and the appropriate code will be recorded in col. (3). However, when the informant is unable to furnish information on the location of a plot in terms of jurisdictions of circles of patwaris or of revenue inspector, or where the partwari system is non-existent, the relevant code for within or outside the tehsil will be recorded. This code has been recoded as 2 digited by prefixing Sector code.

If the geographical area is quoted by the informant from some document, code '1' will be entered , otherwise the entry will be code '2'. If the informant is not a position to report the geographical area, either from a document or form memory, it may be ascertained by consulting knowledgeable persons of the village. If all efforts to get the required information fail, 'N.A.' will be recorded in ql. (5) with a dash (-) in q (4) and (6).

The total geographical area of the plot (i.e. the area under the survey number or sub-survey number) will be recorded in col. (5), even if only a part of it is owned by the household.

If the entire area of the plot (i.e. area under survey number or sub-survey number) is owned by the household, the total geographical area of the plot will be recorded in q. (7) and 100 will be recorded in ql. (6). However, if the plot is jointly owned by members of two or more households, the percentage share of area owned by the sample household will be recorded in q. (6) and the actual area owned in ql. (7). All entries in ql. (7) are to be made in acres rounded off to two places of decimal and those in ql. (6) in terms of percentage share expressed in whole numbers. It may be noted that when geographical area of the plot is not available, i.e. when 'N.A.' is entered in ql. (5), a dash (-) will be entered in ql. (6). when a part of the plot is covered under homestead land, the entries in q. (6) q (7) will relate to the area outside the homestead, the percentage share and actual area of only the part of the plot not covered under homestead will be recorded in cols. (6) and (7) respectively.

See Q.5 for details

Columns 8 to13 are meant for recording area of different types of land constituting the portion of the plot owned by the household. All the area figures to be recorded in these columns should be expressed in acres rounded off to two places of decimal. For each plot listed in the block, the portion of area owned by the household will be categorized under six types of land, viz. 'seasonal crop area with irrigation facilities', 'seasonal crop area without irrigation facilities', 'orchards' plantations & forests', 'water bodies', 'are put to other non-agricultural uses' and 'others'. For example, even if a piece of land, which is usually irrigated and is likely to be irrigated in the future, could not be irrigated during the last crop season, it will be treated as irrigated for this purpose. However, in case where the 'type' of a piece of land is reported to have changed in the recent past and the changed status is likely to continue in the future, the changed status will be considered to determine the type of land. For example, the area of a piece of land which is reported to have been converted from a seasonal crop area to an orchard in the recent part will be recorded under 'orchards' plantations and forest'. Similarly, 'current fallow' will always be treated as are under seasonal crops, while 'other fallows' will be so treated only if it is still considered as arable land by the respondent. It is to be specially noted that actually forested area under any legal enactment, area under farm-forestry and social forestry consisted in the portion of the plot owned by the household will be classified as 'orchards, plantations and forest'. Care should also be taken to ensure that the entries made in C (8) to (13) add up to the entry in C(7).
