Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
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 information here refers to the second visit of the survey.
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 (LLHS) 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 for both types of holdings. The information for LLHS 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. The information here represents that of the 2nd visit.

Households
Scope
In the 48th round, information on various aspects of ownership and operational holdings was collected for both rural and urban areas. Characteristics of land owned, land leased out, types and terms of lease formed the main body of information for the study of ownership holdings. Furthermore, characteristics 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. Characteristics 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, characteristics 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 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.

Sampling
The sample design adopted for the survey was essentially a stratified two stage design, with census villages and urban blocks as first stage units (FSUs)/primary units for the rural and urban sectors respectively, and households as the second stage sampling units (SSUs) in both sectors. The selection of villages was done with probability proportional to population (with replacement), mainly based on the 1981 census list of villages. The selection of urban blocks was done with equal probability without replacement based on Urban Frame Survey (UFS) conducted by the NSSO as an on-going activity.
The details of the sample design and estimation procedure adopted for the survey are given in chapter-2 of the Report 407 attached as external attachment.
There was no deviation from the original sampling plan.
Sample weights were calculated and included in each of the data files.
Variable 'Wgt_SS' refers to multiplier for each subsample; while, variable 'Wgt_Combined' refers to combined multiplier.
