Objective of ReportAt the beginning of this millennium, the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India had planned for a comprehensive assessment of the situation of farmers in the country. The areas of interest were their level of living as measured by consumer expenditure, income and productive assets, their indebtedness, farming practices and preferences, resource availability, their awareness of technological developments and access to modern technology in the field of agriculture

Main Features of the SurveyPopulation coverage

1. Floating population, i.e., persons without any normal residence, was excluded. But persons residing in open space, roadside shelter, under a bridge, etc., more or less regularly in the same place were covered.

2. Foreign nationals were excluded, as well as their domestic servants, if by definition the latter belonged to the foreign national's household

3. Persons residing in barracks of military and paramilitary forces (like police, BSF etc.) were kept outside the survey coverage. However, the civilian population residing in their neighborhood, including the family quarters of service personnel, were covered.

Conceptual framework

Period of the Survey

The survey was conducted during the calendar year 2013 (1st January, 2013 to 31st December, 2013). The same household was visited twice during the survey period. The period of first visit (visit 1) was January to July 2013 and that of second visit (visit 2) was August to December, 2013.

Monthly Per capita Consumer Expenditure (MPCE)

Combined aggregates based on the information collected for the reference period of last 30 days were calculated as weighted mean of estimates for common households of visit 1 and visit 2, where weights are 7 and 5 respectively. For information collected for the reference period of 6 months, combined aggregates were calculated as simple average of estimates for common households of visit 1 and visit 2 estimates

Sample size

The number of sample villages surveyed by NSSO in 70th round was 4529. This is known as Central Sample. In addition to this, a “State Sample” was also surveyed by the State/UT Governments who participated in this survey. The results presented in this document are, however, based on central sample alone. For this particular survey, 8 households were selected in each sample village, for canvassing Sch.33 both in visit 1 and visit 2. A few households of visit 1 became “casualty” while surveying in visit 2. On all-India basis, a total of 35200 households were surveyed in visit-1 and 34907 of them could be surveyed in visit 2. State-wise number of villages surveyed and the number of households in which Schedule 33 was canvassed separately for visit 1 and visit 2 are given in Statement
