It had a wider coverage than the earlier one in the sense that it covered the own-account enterprises (units without any hired worker are called Own-Account Enterprises or OAEs) also. In this census the establishments were further split into two categories : Directory Establishments (DEs) and Non-Directory Establishments (NDEs); the former employed a total of six or more workers, while the l atter employed a total of five or fewer workers. Thus, the second Economic Census dealt with three categories of units, viz. DEs, NDEs and OAEs. This census provided a list of villages \/ enumeration blocks (EBs) giving a count of enterprises and establishments, which has been used by the NSSO as a frame for sample villages \/ EBs in its follow-up surveys. Two such surveys of units engaged in trading activities were taken up by the NSSO in its forty-first round (July 1985 to June 1986) and forty-sixth round (July 1990 to June 1991). \n\nAll the second-stage units (i.e. trading enterprises) were listed through a listing schedule. This list constituted the frame for drawing the required number of sample enterprises from each first -stage unit. The enterprises were divided into three enterprise classes on the basis of the number of workers employed, from each of which a certain specified number of enterprises were selected. Information collected through the listing schedule was used for calculating multipliers and for estimation o f the number of enterprises. The enterprise schedule was canvassed in the selected sample enterprises for collecting information on basic items like fixed assets, employment, purchase and sale values, other expenditure, value added and trade margins of commodities traded. Enterprises were selected in this round from three enterprise classes. The main characteristics on which information were collected are fixed assets, employment, purchase and sale values, other expenditure, other receipts, value added and trade margin of the traded goods. Reference period for collection of data was 'month' except for fixed assets and trade margin, where the reference period used was 'last one year'.\n\nThe 46th round schedule 2.41.2  consistsed of 14 blocks. \n\nAll the enterprises covered by the two-digit codes (called divisions) 60 to 68 and three-digit codes (called groups) 040, 052, 053, 054, 059, 060, 061, 063, 069 and 890 under the revised National Industrial Classification, 1987 (NIC, 1987) were considered for this survey. Strictly speaking, the activity codes 040,052,..,069, which represent various free collection activities for sale, should be covered under agriculture. But value added for such activities were not regularly available from official sources. As such, they were covered under unorganised trade since the NSS 34th round. \n\nImportant concepts and definitions:\n\nTrade : Trading is defined as an act of purchase of goods and their disposal by way of sale without any intermediate physical transformation of goods. The activities of intermediaries who do not actually purchase or sell the goods but arrange their pur\u00adchase and sale and thereby earn remuneration by way of brokerage or commission, are also covered for the purpose of `trade` sur\u00advey. Distributive agencies which undertake trading activity on commission basis are also included. In addition, the activities of free collection for sale of honey and forest products like gathering of fodder, grass, etc.; free hunting, trapping and game propagation for commercial purposes; free collection for sale of fish, prawns, crabs and oysters; free collection for sale of waste paper, ash, rags, coal, etc., are also treated as trade for this survey. Separate and distinct trading units of manufacturing concerns like sale shops of Delhi Cotton Mill, Bombay Dyeing, Bata Shoe, etc., and activities like selling of fruit juice, sugar\u00adcane juice, etc. which involve a process of transformation mar\u00adginally are also covered under trade. \n\nTrading enterprise: A trading enterprise is an undertaking\/unit engaged in trade. An enterprise may be owned and operated by a household or by an institutional body. The activi\u00adties of the enterprise may be carried on by household members and\/or by hiring outside labour.\n\nOwn-account enterprise: An enterprise which is run by house\u00adhold workers only (i.e. without any hired worker on a fairly regular basis ) is termed as an own-account enterprise. If such an enterprise is engaged in trading, it is termed as an own-account trading enterprise (OATE). \n\nEstablishment: An enterprise which is employing at least one hired worker on a fairly regular basis is termed as an establishment.\n\nNon-directory establishment : An establishment employing fewer than six workers (household and hired workers taken togeth\u00ader) is termed as a non-directory establishment. If such an estab\u00adlishment is engaged in trading activities, it is termed as a non-directory trading establishment (NDTE).\n\nReference period : It means the period for which informa\u00adtion on a particular characteristic is collected."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Field Office Division (NSSO)","abbr":"FOD (NSSO)","affiliation":"Minstry of Statistics and PI, Govt. of India"}],"sampling_procedure":"No documents on sample design is avaialble. However, Multiplier has been computed and posted in each record of the data set for Sub-sample and combined.\n\nGenerally, a stratified two or three-stage sampling design is adopted for the enterprise surveys in India. The first-stage units (FSUs) are the villages and urban blocks. The ultimate-stage sampling units are the enterprises. If the sample FSUs are large in size (in terms of population and\/or number of non-agricultural enterprises), they are segmented into a certain number of segments4. Total number of segments formed in the sample FSU depends on the size of the FSU - the larger the size, larger is the value of total number of segments formed in the FSU. From the segments formed in the sample FSU, a sample of segments is selected for listing of enterprises. Thus, for larger FSUs, the sampling design becomes three-stage with sampling units in the second and third (i.e. ultimate) stages being the segments and enterprises respectively. \n\nFor selection of the FSUs in the enterprise surveys, generally Economic Census (EC) frame giving count of enterprises and workers at the FSU level is used as the sampling frame. However, if it becomes difficult to identify the urban blocks as per the EC frame based on the available maps, the NSSO's list of Urban Frame Survey Blocks is used as the sampling frame for selection of urban blocks. \n\nFor the purpose of sampling of enterprises, a list of enterprises is prepared within each selected FSU (or sample segments in case of large FSU). For listing of enterprises, a combination of household cum site approach is adopted in the surveys. The enterprises having fixed premises are listed at their sites. But the entrepreneurial activities carried out without fixed premises or within the premises of the households are listed as enterprises against the households of the owners. From the frame of enterprises so prepared, a sample of enterprises is selected circular systematically after grouping the enterprises into a few strata to ensure representation of different types of units in the sample.","sampling_deviation":"There was no deviation from the original sampling design","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"Block 0: descriptive identification of sample enterprise\/establishment\nBlock 1: Identification of sample enterprise\/establishment\nBlock 2: Particu1ars of field operation\nBlock 3: Parifculars of trading enterprise\nBlock 4: Particulars of household information (For enterprises with code \"1\"and \"2' in item 9 of Block 3)\nBlock 5: employment particulars during reference month\nBlock 6: Compensation of workers\nBlock 7: Stock, Sale and purchase during the reference period\nBlock 8: Purchase and sale prices of main commodity of five major commodity groups sold during reference months\nBlock 9: amount of working capital as on last day of reference period\nBlock 10: inventory of fixed assets owned and hired.\nBlock 11: disbursement account for reference month and refereuce year\nBlock 12: receipt account for reference month and refereuce year\nBlock 13: outstanmng loan including interest (in rupees)\nBlock 14: purchase and sale price of industrial wood and fuel wood sold during the reference month ending _________________\n\nNote : In the data set these are identified by Level No.","coll_situation":"At present, a team of two or three investigators along with one supervisor is deployed for fieldwork in each FSU. Data are collected by interviewing the owners of the enterprises or any other suitable respondents able to furnish the information. For enterprises run without fixed premises or within the household premises, data are collected by visiting the households of the owners of the enterprises. However, for enterprises run within fixed premises, data are collected from the site where the enterprise is located. If the enterprises maintain accounts (such cases being much less in number), data are collected as per the available accounts. Otherwise, information furnished by owners is recorded after proper probing in case figures furnished by the respondents appear doubtful. \n\nTo capture the seasonal variation, entire survey period of one-year duration is divided into four sub-rounds of three months' duration each. Equal number of sample villages and blocks is allocated to each sub-round. Each FSU is surveyed during the sub-round period to which it is allocated. Within a particular sub-round, the fieldwork is spread out uniformly over different months to the extent possible. \n\n                       \nFile name            Record length       No. of  records      Remarks\n\nD142R     TXT         142                     13,81,004\t   Basic data with multiplier\tRural \nD142U     TXT         142                     15,74,976     \t   Basic data with multiplier\tUrban \n\n\n(DOCUMENTS)\n\nLAYDATA TXT\t\t\t\t\t   Lay out of data \nSTCODES   DOC\t\t\t\t\t   List of state codes \nSCHEDULE  PDF\t\t\t\t               Schedule (Questionnaire) \t\n\nNote : (1) f.s.u. serial numbers assigned false numbers to disable identity of units.\n           (2) files are in ASCII formats and they are flat \/ line sequential.","act_min":"Field Office Division of NSSO, Ministry of Statistics and PI","weight":"WGT- Multiplier has been provided for sub-sample and combined.
