Interviewer instructions
The reason for moving out of the last usual residence will be ascertained for each migrant member and entered in terms of the specified codes in this column. It may so happen that a person had moved out of his last usual residence for a particular reason, stayed in a different village/town for a short period (less than 6 months; if this period is 6 months or more that place will become his last usual residence) and then moved to the place of enumeration ( a village or town other than the previous one) for a different reason. In such a case only the reason which motivated his/her first movement will be recorded.
