Final Multiplier-posted unit-level data
for Schedule 1.2 of NSS 76th round.

A) Data for Sch. 1.2 (Drinking Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Housing Condition).
There are 9 files belonging to 9 different levels as per layout (Data_Layout_NSS76_120.xlsx).

Data Files
--------------------------------------------------------------
Data No. of
File name records
--------------------------------------------------------------
R76120L01 106838
R76120L02 466527
R76120L03 106838
R76120L04 106838

R76120L08 106804
R76120L09 106992
--------------------------------------------------------------
Total 1321283
--------------------------------------------------------------
Record length for data is 139.

Note for users:

(1) These are text data with fixed record-length of 139 characters. First 126 bytes are data, next
3 characters are number of first stage units surveyed within a sector x state x stratum x
substratum (NSC). Next 10 bytes are weight or multiplier for the sample (MLT). Last byte is for
Newline character.

(2) The Layout of data is given in the MS Excel-file Data_Layout_NSS76_120.xlsx.

(3) For generating any estimate, one has to extract relevant portion of the data, and aggregate
after applying the weights.

(4) Weights (or multipliers) are given at the end of each record from 130th byte onwards. The
weights (multipliers) are Second Stage Stratum (SSS) wise, details of which are as given
below:
NSC and FSU-wise weights
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NSC = Bytes 127-129 (3 bytes)
MLT = Bytes 130-139 (10 bytes, assumed two places of decimal)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

All records of a second stage stratum(SSS) will have same weight figure.

In case of those Blocks/Levels, where Item/Person Serial No. is not applicable, the field is
filled up with "00000".

(5) In the value fields (in Rs. or quantity or area etc.) only the numeric figure is given in data file.
The decimal point is to be assumed after looking at the type of that field in the printed schedule
and text data layout.

(6) Common Primary Key for identification of a record for any schedule is:

FSU Serial Number = 4(5) (i.e., offset = 4th byte,


length = 5 bytes)
Second Stage Stratum Number = 30(1)
household Number = 31(2)
Level Number = 33(2)
Item Code = 35(5)

(7) List of Documents

a) General Information ----- README76_S120.doc

b) Text Data Layout ----- Data_Layout_NSS76_120.xlsx

c) Blank schedule 0.0 ----- Schedule_0.0.pdf


d) Blank schedule 1.2 ----- Schedule_1.2.pdf
e) Instructions Manual ------ NSS_76_ins_Ch1-4.pdf

f) Estimation procedure note and related tables for stratum composition


for 69th round ----- Estimation_Procedure_NSS76.pdf
