Overview
The survey on Land and Livestock Holdings carried out in the forty-eighth round (January-December 1992) of the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) is the fifth in the series of similar surveys conducted so far by the NSSO. The objective of these surveys has been to generate the basic quantitative information on the agrarian structure of the country, which is relevant to land policy. A large part of the information is collected mainly along the lines suggested in World Agricultural Census Programme of the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and thus serves the purpose of international comparison as well.
In the present Land and Livestock Holdings survey of the NSSO, two types of holdings, namely, household ownership holdings and operational holdings, are enumerated by interviewing the sample households. Data are collected on the size (in terms of area), type, utilisation, tenurial status and other related aspects of both types of holdings.
The information for Land and Livestock holdings survey was collected from a sample of households by interview method. Each sample
household was visited twice during the period of survey with a gap of four to eight months. Two different schedules of enquiry were canvassed in the two visits.

Randomly selected households based on sampling procedure.
Scope
In the 48th round, information on various aspects of ownership and operational holdings was collected for both rural and urban areas. Particulars of land owned, land leased out, types and terms of lease formed the main body of information for the study of ownership holdings. Further, particulars of land leased in were also collected to ascertain the land possessed by the households. For the operational
holdings, data on size, composition, tenurial form, land use, extent of irrigation by source, fragmentation of holding, drainage facilities and other related aspects of holdings were collected. Since livestock and agricultural machinery form the basic resources for agricultural operations, an inventory of these assets owned by the households on the date of survey was also obtained.
In the land holdings part of the survey, data collected on ownership and operational holdings. Particulars of land owned and land leased-out by terms of lease and type of lessee, together with area of land owned by type of land, were collected plot wise for each ownership holding. Besides these, particulars of land leased-in was also collected from each sample household. As for the operational holdings, information on their size, composition, tenural form, land use, fragmentation, irrigation practices, drainage drain age facilities and agricultural activities were collected for each agricultural season as well as the agricultural year 1991-92. In the part relating to livestock holding, an inventory of livestock and agricultural machinery were taken from each sample household. In addition to the particulars of land and livestock holdings, information were also collected on exploitation of trees owned by the sample households.
STRUCTURE OF THE SCHEDULE: As stated in the preceding paragraphs, the survey was conducted in two visits and some items of information were collected in only one of them. The schedules of enquiry for the two visits are structured accordingly. In all, the schedule consists of 19 blocks (including two sub-blocks). Of these, blocks 0 to 4 and 10 were common to the schedules for both the visits and had exactly the same formats. However, since block 10 was meant for recording some auxiliary information about operational holdings of an agricultural season, it had Kharif and Rabi seasons as the reference periods in visit one and two respectively. Blocks 5 and 9 also appear in the schedules for both the visits, but their formats were not the same. Of the remaining blocks, six appear only in the schedule for visit-1 and five (including two sub-blocks) in only that for visit-2.
Coverage
The forty-eighth round was planned to cover the whole of Indian Union excepting (i) Ladakh and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir; (ii) 768 interior villages of Nagaland (out of a total of 1119 villages) located beyond 5 kms. of a bus route,
(iii) 172 villages in Andaman & Nicobar Islands (out of a total of 520 villages) which are inaccessible throughout the year.
However, the survey could not be conducted in six districts of Jammu & Kashmir viz., Anantnag, Pulwana, Srinagar, Badgam, Baramula and
Kupwara, and in the district of Amritsar in Punjab due to unfavourable field conditions.
