India - Household Consumer Expenditure, NSS 63rd Round : July 2006 - June 2007, NSS 63rd Round

There are provisions in some schemes under the public works that a person, who is eligible to get public work but did not get it, not due to his/ her inability to get such work, but for reasons, entirely attributable to the authorities/ agencies entrusted with the task of executing the public work, may make a complaint to panchayat or BDO/ SDO/ other Govt. official. The complaint may be either written or oral. There may be cases where the household member had not complained but knew that there was provision for complaining, or the household member had not known that provision for complaining existed. Depending upon any one of the situations, obtained for a household member during the last 365 days, appropriate code will be assigned as follows:

yes: complained to panchayat ………………………………………... 1
complained to BDO/ SDO/ other Govt. official ………………… 2
no: new that there was provision for complaining but did not complain……… 3
did not know that there was provision for complaining…………………… 4

In the cases where more than one public works were undertaken in and around the locality during the last 365 days, the situation for the household member will be judged considering all such works. If more than one of the four situations, given above, is obtained for a household member in respect of the public works undertaken in the locality, the relevant code appearing first in the code list will be considered and recorded.
