Interviewer instructions

For each of the items 1 to 19, distance of the facility from the centre of the village will be recorded in terms of code. The distance codes are as follows:

Within village ... ... ... ... ... 1
Outside village:
Up to 2 km. ... ... ... ... 2
2 - 5 km . ... ... ... ... 3
5 - 10 km. ... ... ... ... 4
Above 10 km . ... ... ... 5

If a particular facility is available within the village, the distance code will always be 1 irrespective of its distance from the centre of the village. One of the codes 2 to 5 will be applicable only when the facility is available at a place outside the village. If a facility is available at two different places, the distance of the nearest place will be considered. In this connection, it should be noted that if (say) the nearest secondary school also has primary classes and the nearest primary school is farther away, the distance code of the secondary school is to be recorded against both primary school and middle school.
