In a vegetable market, there are shops, which have common roof but no walls on 4 sides. In some places, Only poles are erected with tarpaulin/plastic on top. The floors are about 3 feet high and, some of the shopkeepers sleep there at night. Will these be considered as building/ census house? If so, where shall we write the Building no./ Census House no.? In commercial areas/ public houses, we find houses where people sleep at night on payment basis. The persons may or may not cook there. Should we list the households/ persons or treat these houses as non-residential and the persons as houseless?
http://mlpmschoolnews.blogspot.com Reply Assume that the entire structure is pucca. Then, the entire structure (building with all the flats) may be drawn as a big square and each flat inside it may be shown separately as smaller squares inside that big square. Building number may be written on each small square and each small square may be kept white or hatched depending on whether the flat is used as residence or the flat is wholly non-residential. Please refer to the illustrative example written at Page 35 of the instruction manual regarding “big wholesale market places, such as Chandni Chowk in Delhi, Bara Bazar in Kolkata and Kalba Devi in Mumbai……….”. Similarly, in smaller markets also, there can be shops which are covered on top and on some of the sides. Some of the shopkeepers/ workers may use such shops as residence. Such places may also be identified as census houses and marked accordingly.
No, they will not be houseless. These houses and households will be covered in Houselisting phase also. Please refer to the illustrations provided at Instruction manual page 35. A building can be used for many purposes. There may be offices/ shops where people will also sleep, e.g., guard, etc. These houses have to be recorded as residence-cum-shop, residence-cum-office, etc. as the case may be. Further, all households normally residing there should be recorded visiting the place at a time when these households are available. As a systematic numbering exist, the same will be adopted. Systematic numbering does not mean that in all places, the number will start with 1 at the north-west corner. It means that building numbers, provided by the local authority, exists for most of the buildings in the Houselisting Block. In this example, in both layout map and Schedule, Building No. 75 will be recorded after Building No. 73. Remember that ‘institutional household’ is different from an ‘institution’ like school, college, hospital, etc. In this example, there can be two cases: i) The school and hostel are separate census houses in the same

Even if it is recorded at a later stage in some other Schedule, the household may get missed during preparation of Abridged Houselist. However, the status will be recorded as ‘locked’ only after the house has been visited at least 4-5 times during the period of enumeration and was found locked till the last day of enumeration.

No. Suppose last three digits of “original” forms are from 123 to 130 and forms 131 to 137 are used to make the duplicate set. Then, in the original form 123, continued sheet number will be 124, etc. Suppose form 131 is the duplicate of form 123, form 132 is duplicate of form 124, etc. Then the continued sheet no. in form 131 will be 132, and so on. Adding the line afterwards will create problems in continuity for preparing the AHL. So, if mistakes are found on a form, cancel it and copy it afresh on another form. Carry out the necessary corrections in all the forms with respect to ‘continued sheet no.’ at the bottom corner.
Write on top right corner of side A on each Schedule, above the area of recognition. With respect to Houselist Abstract, write on top of the abstract.

http://mlpmschoolnews.blogspot.com The LRUR will be published in local language. Moreover, correctly identifying the ‘matra’ used in our languages are sometimes difficult to predict from the English spelling. Hence, the recording may be done in local language to the extent possible. However, if some respondent insists for a specific language, Schedules of that language may be procured and the information may be filled in that language. Advance intimation may be sent to the Charge Officer and DCO representative for getting the blank forms in specified languages in those cases. In both cases, give fresh serial number. If it is written in the next line, serial no. will be 03 and if it is written after a few more lines (say at row 7), serial number will be 07. In such cases, record and check the entries in Col 9 very carefully.

However, if he is travelling at different places during that period (e.g. truck driver) and it is known that she/he is not listed at any other place, then she/he may be listed at her/his place of usual residence. The household members present may be advised to intimate her/him so that duplication is avoided. In most of the households, these will be the same. However, in some cases they may differ. For example, if the ‘husband’ normally residing and working elsewhere, he will not be a member of the household in the Houselisting Schedule and will not be a head. However, if he is a visitor present throughout, we may have to record him as the ‘Head’ in the NPR Schedule, as per the response of the household. The number of members may not match in such cases. Similarly, a married daughter who has come for childbirth and is satisfying the criteria of enumeration as per paragraph 3.4 (i), may not be a normal member of a household. She, thus, will not appear in Houselisting Schedule, but will appear in the NPR Schedule. No. Please replace ‘tenant’ with ‘paying guest’ in this paragraph.

When a husband is having 3 wives, how to enter all the spouses?
In paragraph 5.19.1, it has been written that “for unmarried persons, leave the space against ‘S’ blank” But in the example, ‘-’ has been shown. What is to be followed? If birth place, present address and the place of enumeration is same village, will these need to be recorded? In Maharashtra, villages with same name exist in different tehsils of the same district. Without the tehsil name, it will not be possible to distinguish between them. Should we write the tehsil name also in the address? Suppose present address of usual residence of member 01 is Cuttack and permanent address is in Banki. Present address of member 02 is Cuttack and permanent address is also Banki. Whether we can write ‘do’ in Col 14?
http://mlpmschoolnews.blogspot.com When the husband and all the three wives are listed at the same household, first record all of them and record details up to column 8 for all of them. Suppose the husband is at serial no. 01 and the wives are at serial no.s 02, 05 and 07. In col. 9 of serial no.s 02, 05 and 07, enter 01 in Col.9 against spouse. However, against serial no. 01 (husband), there is space for only one spouse. Enter the wife appearing first (serial no. 02) or any other (05 or 07) which the husband prefers. This will not pose any problem as the database will show the same husband for all the three wives and this would identify him as a person with three wives. Keep the space blank, as has been written in paragraph 5.19.1.
If birth place and place of enumeration is same village/ town, there will be ‘-‘ in all three sub-parts of Q 10 (see example beside paragraph 5.20.3).

Regarding categories (ii) and (iii) above, in-case the CN numbers to the buildings are already provided by DCO office; how the Census house number will be assigned? In an Urban Houselisting Block, there may be situations, where the numbering of the authorised buildings has already been given by the municipal or local authorities, say up to 120. After the authorised constructions, unauthorised buildings have come up, which are un-numbered. As per the instructions, the numbering of such buildings may be like 120/1, 120/2 and so on, i.e., sub-number of last number given by local authorities (page 13 of English instruction manual) Here, the problem anticipated is that allotment of subnumbers may allow the residents of unauthorised buildings to claim for regularisation and the local municipalities will object to such numberings because of this. It is suggested that let there be independent numberings of the unauthorised buildings after the end of municipal numbering, e.g., C-1, C-2, etc. which will not pose any problem.

this case has been discussed in detail and corresponding numbering has been shown at Figure 4. The numbers shown in the box (inside the figure) is to be written on the building. The procedure described at paragraph 3.31 of instruction manual says, i) If unnumbered building(s) is(are) found between two numbered buildings, say between building numbers 10 and 11, it (these) will be numbered as 10/1 (10/1, 10/2, etc) ii) If unnumbered building(s) is(are) found after last numbered building, say after building number 120, it (these) will be numbered as 121 (121, 122, etc). Note that in case (ii) here, the numbers are not 120/1, 120/2, etc. as written in the query. Further, the last line of paragraph 3.31 says “In a Houselisting Block, it will have either municipal/local authority numbers or Census house numbers, it cannot be a mix of both”. Thus, assigning a fresh series of census numbers cannot be done as has been proposed here. Census numbering does not create any legal claim on authorisation. Thus, it should not create any problem, as this procedure is being followed since long. Still, if the local authorities are not convinced at all and object very strongly, one way out could be to prefix these census numberings with C (e.g., C-121, C-122, etc.) while these are written on the wall of the building.

Care should be taken to record the warden, chowkidar, etc. living in the same building but taking food separately. They should be recorded as separate normal households. There may be cases where terminally ill patients normally reside at hospital-like institutions. In such cases, recording as institutional households is necessary. Similarly, if there are specialised hospitals where the patients have to stay for long, these also will be considered as institutional household. In Col 7 (use of census house), this may be clearly written (residencecumhospital). Some such villages may be census towns. In that case, ward code for the entire village treated as a census town will be ’0001’.

According to the general principle given at Paragraph 3.9 of NPR Instructions, for other relatives also, the descending order by age will be considered along-with the family-nuclei. For example, in a household, grand-father, grand-father's brother and grand-mother (grand-father’s wife) are all members. Suppose grand-father is oldest, followed by grand-father's brother and then grand-mother. Then, record name of the grand-father followed by name of the grand-mother (as they together form a family nucleus) and then record the name of grand-father's brother. In hotels, etc., there is a possibility that normal households stay (like workers, guard, etc.). They will be considered for filling up the NPR. Similarly, this person will also be considered here. However, he/she may be advised to intimate her/his family members so that duplication is avoided. This has been answered in FAQ 1 (page 2, third question). It says: ‘Normally residing’ used in column 10 of Houselisting and Housing Census Schedule is different from ‘usual resident’ defined in Q 1(b) of NPR Schedule. These should be clearly borne in mind.
