Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure of NSS 67th Round

1.0 Introduction:

1.0.1 The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme
Implementation (MOSPI), Government of India, since its inception in 1950 has been
conducting nationwide integrated large scale sample surveys, employing scientific sampling
methods, to generate data and statistical indicators on diverse socio-economic aspects.

1.0.2 The sixty-seventh round of NSS is devoted exclusively for collection of data on
economic and operational characteristics of unincorporated non-agricultural enterprises in
manufacturing, trade and other service sector (excluding construction). The field operations
of the survey commenced on 1st July 2010 and will continue up to 30th June 2011.

1.0.3 Last surveys of enterprises on trade, unorganised manufacturing and service sectors
(excluding trade and construction) were conducted during 53rd round (January – December
1997) , 62nd round (July 2005 – June 2006) and 63rd round of NSS (July 2006 – June 2007)
respectively. Other enterprise surveys carried out in between were 55th round (informal
sector enterprises, 1999-2000), 56th round (unorganised manufacturing, 2000-2001) and 57th
round (unorganised service sector excluding trade, finance and construction, 2001 –2002).

2.2 Geographical coverage: The coverage of the survey is the whole of the Indian Union
except (i) interior villages of Nagaland situated beyond five kilometres of the bus route and
(ii) villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which remain inaccessible throughout the year.
Leh (Ladakh) and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir do not have any separate
sample first-stage units (FSUs) for ‘central sample’. For these two districts, sample FSUs
drawn as ‘state sample’ are also treated as central sample. The state directorate of economics
and statistics (DES) will provide a copy of the filled-in schedules to Data Processing
Division of NSSO for processing.

2.3 Period of survey and work programme: The period of survey is of one year duration
starting on 1st July 2010 and ending on 30th June 2011. The survey period of this round is
divided into four sub-rounds of three months’ duration each as follows:
5
Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure
 NSS 67th round

sub-round 1 : July - September 2010

sub-round 2 : October - December 2010
sub-round 3 : January - March 2011
sub-round 4 : April - June 2011

In each of these four sub-rounds equal number of sample first stage units (FSUs) i.e.
villages/ blocks are allotted for survey with a view to ensuring uniform spread of sample
FSUs over the entire survey period. Because of the arduous field conditions, this restriction
is not be strictly enforced in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep and rural areas of
Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.

2.4 Schedules of enquiry: During this round, the following schedules of enquiry are being
canvassed:

Schedule 0.0 : list of households and non-agricultural enterprises

Schedule 2.34 : unincorporated non-agricultural enterprises
(excluding construction )

2.5 Participation of States: In this round all the States and Union Territories except
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep are
participating. The following is the matching pattern of the participating States/ UTs.

Nagaland (U) : triple

J & K , Manipur : double
Maharashtra (U) : one and half
Gujarat : equal
Kerala : one and half
Remaining States/ UTs : equal

3 Sample Design

3.1 Outline of sample design: A stratified multi-stage design has been adopted for the 67th
round survey. The first stage units (FSU) are the census villages (Panchayat wards in case of
Kerala) in the rural sector and Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. The
ultimate stage units (USU) are enterprises in both the sectors. In case of large FSUs, one
intermediate stage of sampling is the selection of three hamlet-groups (hgs)/ sub-blocks
(sbs) from each large rural/ urban FSU.

3.2 Sampling frame to be used for selection of first stage units

Census 2001 list of villages has been used as the sampling frame for rural areas. Auxiliary
information such as number of enterprises, number of workers, type of enterprises, activities
6
Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure
 NSS 67th round

of enterprises, etc. available from EC-2005 frame were used for stratification, sub-
stratification and selection of enterprises.

In Kerala, list of panchayat wards as per Census 2001 was used as frame since list of such
wards is not available as per EC 2005 frame.

In the urban sector, EC-2005 frame was used for 26 cities with population more than a
million as per census 2001. Although Mumbai is a million plus city, EC-2005 frame could
not be used for Mumbai because of identification problem for IV unit/blocks in the EC for
the city. For other cities/towns (including Mumbai), UFS frame (2002-07 phase or latest
available phase prior to 2002-07 if it is not available) was used.

3.3 Stratification: Each district is a basic stratum in both rural and urban areas. However, in
case of urban, each city with population of 1 million or more as per Census 2001 forms a
separate stratum and all other cities/towns of a district are grouped to form another stratum.

3.4 Sub-stratification:

(i) Rural: There are three sub-strata in the rural sector:

(1) Villages with at least 5 establishments (NDE/DE) under coverage in the

manufacturing sector as per EC-2005 information;

(2) Remaining villages having at least 5 NDE/DE under coverage in the services
sector including trade as per EC-2005 information;

(3) Remaining villages of the stratum.

For the State(s) where EC-2005 information cannot be used as auxiliary information for
stratification/sub-stratification due to limitations of EC 2005 frame, each district is sub-
stratified into ‘r/4’ sub-strata with a sample allocation of 4 per sub-stratum where ‘r’ is the
sample allocation for the district/stratum. The sub-strata is formed by arranging the villages
in terms of population so that total population of each sub-stratum is approximately the
same.

(ii) Urban, Million plus cities (excluding Mumbai) :

For each stratum / million plus city, 20 sub-strata are formed as under:

Sub-stratum 1: Blocks with one or more establishment in insurance & pension

funding;
Sub-stratum 2: Remaining blocks with one or more establishment in storage &
warehousing;
Sub-stratum 3: Remaining blocks with one or more establishment in

7
Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure
 NSS 67th round

accommodation;
Sub-strata 4-8: Remaining blocks with one or more establishment in broad
activities of manufacturing (as per SSS formation discussed
subsequently under para 3.9);
Sub-strata 9-12: Remaining blocks with one or more establishment in broad
activities of trade (as per SSS formation in para 3.9);
Sub-strata 13-19: Remaining blocks with one or more establishment in broad
activities of other services (as per SSS formation in para 3.9)
excluding the activities covered under sub-strata 1-3.
Sub-strata 20: All remaining blocks of the stratum.

(iii) Urban, Other cities and towns (including Mumbai): Two sub-strata are formed:

Sub-stratum 1: UFS block types: Bazaar area (BA)/ Industrial area (IA)/
Hospital area/ (HA)/ Slum area (SA) which are likely to
contain relatively higher number of enterprises;

Sub-stratum 2: Remaining UFS blocks of the stratum.

If the number of FSUs in the frame of a rural or urban sub-stratum was found to be less than
8, then separate sub-stratum was not formed and it was merged with the adjacent sub-
stratum.

There is only one town (Leh) in Leh district and one town (Kargil) in Kargil district of J &
K. These two towns are out of UFS coverage. These are treated as sub-stratum 2 and the
entire town is treated as one FSU.
3.5 Total Sample size (FSUs):

A sample of 16000 FSUs for central sample and 18248 FSUs for state sample have been
allocated at all-India level. Allocations for the State/UTs and sectors for central and state
samples are given in Table 1 of the Appendices.

3.6 Allocation of total sample FSUs:

(i) All-India allocation over States:

All-India sample size (FSUs) have been allocated to different State/UTs taking
into account the minimum allocations required for a State/UT and the proportion
of non-agricultural workers as per EC-2005 in the State/UT.

(ii) State/UT allocation over rural/urban sectors: State/UT sample sizes have been
allocated to rural and urban sectors of the State/UT in proportion to number of
non-agricultural workers as per EC-2005 with the constraint that urban
8
Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure
 NSS 67th round

allocation should not be too high compared to rural allocation and both rural and
urban allocations were in multiples of 8.

(iii) State × sector allocation over strata: Stratum allocations of State/UT sample
sizes for each sector have been made in proportion to number of non-agricultural
workers as per EC-2005. For the States/UTs where census 2001 frame was used
in the rural sector, allocations to strata was made in proportion to population as
per census.

(iv) Stratum allocation over sub-strata: Allocations to sub-strata was made:

(a) In proportion to number of non-agricultural workers under coverage as per

EC-2005 in rural sector as well as in million plus cities (after assuming the
number as 1 for those villages/blocks where number of non-agricultural
workers is 0);
(b) In proportion to number of blocks with a double weight to sub-stratum 1
for other than million plus cities.

Minimum allocation for a sub-stratum was 4.

3.7 Selection of FSUs:

(a) Rural & million plus cities: From each sub-stratum, required number of sample
villages/blocks have been selected by probability proportional to size with replacement
(PPSWR), size being the number of total non-agricultural workers under coverage in the
village/block as per EC-2005.
For the State(s) where EC-2005 information cannot be used as auxiliary information for
selection of FSUs due to limitations of EC 2005 frame, size for PPSWR selection have been
the population of the village as per Census 2001.

(b) Urban (other than million plus cities): From each sub-stratum FSUs were selected by
using Simple Random Sampling Without Replacement (SRSWOR). However, for Leh and
Kargil towns, each town was selected 4 times, once in each sub-round.

Both rural and urban samples have been drawn in the form of two independent sub-samples
and equal number of samples has been allocated among the four sub rounds.

3.8 Formation of segment 9 and selection of hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks

3.8.1 Formation of Segment 9: Having determined the boundaries of the sample FSU, all
non-agricultural enterprises having 20 or more workers in the entire FSU and having
operated at least one day during last 365 days preceding the day of survey (hereinafter to be
9
Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure
 NSS 67th round

called as ‘big enterprises’) are listed and all the eligible units under coverage are surveyed.
All the listed big units (whether under coverage or not) constitute segment 9. All eligible
enterprises under coverage are to be surveyed in segment 9.

3.8.2 Criterion for hamlet-group/ sub-block formation: Having constituted segment 9 as

stated above, it is to be determined whether listing will be done in the whole sample FSU or
not. For this, approximate present population (P) and approximate total number of non-
agricultural enterprises (E) for the whole FSU is ascertained first from knowledgeable
persons. Depending upon the values of ‘P’ and ‘E’, it will be divided into a suitable number
(say, D) of ‘hamlet-groups’ in the rural sector and ‘sub-blocks’ in the urban sector as stated
below. Final value of ‘D’ is the higher of the two values ‘P’ and ‘E’ based on the dual
criteria.

Population/enterprise dual criteria

population (P) no. of hgs/ sbs no. of non-agricultural no. of hgs/ sbs
to be formed enterprises (E) to be formed
less than 1200 1 less than 120 1
1200 - 1599 4 120 - 159 4
1600 - 1999 5 160 - 199 5
2000 - 2399 6 200 - 239 6
and so on … and so on …

While considering enterprise criteria, segment 9 enterprises, if any, is excluded from the
count of ‘E’, if possible.

For rural areas of Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand (except four districts Dehradun
(P), Nainital (P), Hardwar and Udham Singh Nagar), Poonch, Rajouri, Udhampur, Doda,
Leh (Ladakh), Kargil districts of Jammu and Kashmir and Idukki district of Kerala, the
number of hamlet-groups to be formed are as follows:

Population/enterprise dual criteria

population (P) no. of hgs/ sbs no. of non-agricultural no. of hgs/ sbs
to be formed enterprises (E) to be formed
less than 600 1 less than 120 1
600 - 799 4 120 - 159 4
800 - 899 5 160 - 199 5
1000 - 1199 6 200 - 239 6
and so on … and so on …

10
Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure
 NSS 67th round

3.8.3 Formation and selection of hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks:

In case hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks are to be formed in the sample FSU, the same should be
done either by more or less equalizing population or by equalising number of non-
agricultural enterprises. If the criterion for deciding the value of ‘D’ is population, then hg/sb
may be formed by equalising population. On the other hand, if enterprise criterion has been
used for deciding ‘D’, then equlaise the number of non-agricultural enterprises to form ‘D’
number of hg/sb. If the value of ‘D’ is same for both population and enterprise criteria, then
hg/sb may be formed by equalising population.

3.8.4 Segments 1 & 2: Two segments (in addition to segment 9 already formed) are
selected from a large FSU wherever hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks have been formed in the
following manner – Segment 1 is the hg/sb having maximum number of establishments
under the coverage Two more hg’s/sb’s are chosen by SRSWOR and combined to form
Segment 2.
Listing and selection of the enterprises are done independently in the two selected segments.
The FSUs without hg/ sb formation is treated as sample segment number 1.

3.9 Formation of Second Stage Strata and allocation of enterprises for schedule 2.34:
A maximum of nineteen (19) second-stage strata (SSS) are formed within each sample FSU.
Composition of various SSS is as under:
(i) 5 SSS considering various broad manufacturing groups are formed in each segment for
Manufacturing sector Establishments: (1) SSS 1 - Food products, Beverage and
Tobacco Products, (2) SSS 2 - Textiles, Leather, etc. and Cotton ginning, cleaning and
baling, (3) SSS 3 - Wood and wood products, paper and paper products, printing and
publishing etc & Furniture, (4) SSS 4 - Petroleum Products, chemicals, rubber, metals,
metal products, machinery and equipments, etc., and (5) SSS 5 – remaining
manufacturing activities.
(ii) 4 SSS are formed in each segment for Trade sector Establishments: SSS 6 comprises
the activities of commission agents. Excluding the activities of commission agents,
three more SSS are formed. They are as follows: SSS 7 - Trade and repair of motor
vehicles and motor cycles; SSS 8 – other wholesale trade and SSS 9 – other retail trade.

(iii) 7 SSS are formed in each segment for Service sector Establishments (other than
trade) corresponding to the following broad activities: SSS 10 – Accommodation &
food service, SSS 11 - Transport, storage, information & communication, SSS 12 -
Financial & insurance activities, SSS 13 - Real Estate and Renting and Business
Activities, SSS 14 - Education, SSS 15 – Human health & Social work, and SSS 16 -

Note: (i) For estimating any characteristic for any domain not specifically considered in
sample design, indicator variable may be used.
(ii) Multipliers have to be computed on the basis of information available in the listing
schedule irrespective of any misclassification observed between the listing schedule
and detailed enquiry schedule.
*
(i) For estimating number of villages possessing a characteristic, Dstmi = 0 in the
relevant multipliers and there will be only one multiplier for the village (see
paragraph 7.2.1.1 in this context).

4.8. Treatment for zero cases, casualty cases etc.:

4.8.1 While counting the number of FSUs surveyed (nsm or nstm ) in a stratum/sub-stratum, all the
FSUs with survey codes 1 to 6 in schedule 0.0 will be considered. In addition, if no SSU is
available in the frame for a particular FSU then also that FSU will be treated as surveyed.
However, if the SSUs are available in the frame of the FSU but none of these could be surveyed
then that FSU has to be treated as casualty and it will not be treated as surveyed.

 NSS 67th round
4.8.2 Casualty cases: FSUs with survey code 7 as per schedule 0.0 are treated as casualties. In
addition to this, an FSU, although surveyed, may have to be treated as casualty for a particular
schedule type and a particular second stage stratum as given in the following para:

4.8.3 Similarly, FSUs with survey codes 1 and 4 as per schedule 0.0 having number of
enterprises in the frame of j-th second stage stratum greater than 0 but number of enterprises
surveyed according to data file, considering all three segments together, as nil (i.e. Ei9j +Ei1j +
Ei2j >0 but ei9j + ei1j + ei2j =0) will be taken as casualties for j-th second stage stratum

All the FSUs with survey codes 1 to 6 as per schedule 0.0 minus the number of casualties
as identified above will be taken as the number of surveyed FSUs (nstmj ) for that sub-stratum ×
second stage stratum.

When casualty for j-th second stage stratum occurs for a particular segment but not for the other
segment, the FSU will not be treated as casualty but some adjustments in the value of E for the
other segment will be done as follows:

(i) Suppose for segment 1, Ei1j > 0 but ei1j = 0 while for segment 2, Ei2j > 0 and ei2j > 0. In
* *
that case Di  Ei 2 j will be replaced by ( Ei1 j  Di  Ei 2 j ) in the formula for
multiplier of segment 2.

(ii) Suppose for segment 1, Ei1j>0 and ei1j > 0 while for segment 2, Ei2j>0 but ei2j=0. In that
*
case Ei1 j will be replaced by ( Ei1 j  Di  Ei 2 j ) in the formula for multiplier of
segment 1.

However, segment 9 need not be clubbed with segment 1 or segment 2 if segment 9

enterprises are surveyed but no enterprises could be surveyed from segments 1 / 2.

It may be noted that nstmj would be same for segments 1 & 2 of an FSU.

4.9 Treatment in cases of void second-stage strata/sub-strata /strata/NSS region at FSU or

enterprise level

4.9.1 A stratum/sub-stratum may be void because of the casualty of all the FSUs belonging to
the stratum/sub-stratum. This may occur in one sub-sample or in both the sub-samples. If it
relates to only one sub-sample, then estimate for the void stratum/sub-stratum may be replaced
with the estimate as obtained from the other sub-sample for the same stratum/sub-stratum.

4.9.2 When a stratum/sub-stratum is void in both the sub-samples, the following procedure is
recommended:

Case(I): Stratum/Sub-stratum void cases at FSU levels (i.e. all FSUs having survey code 7):

(i) If an rural sub-stratum is void then it may be merged with the other sub-stratum of
the stratum.

Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure

 NSS 67th round
(ii) If a rural/urban stratum (district) is void due to all FSUs being casualty, it may be
excluded from the coverage of the survey. The state level estimates will be based
on the estimates of districts for which estimates are available and remarks to that
effect may be added in appropriate places.

Case (II): Stratum/Sub-stratum void case at second stage stratum level (i.e. all the FSUs are
casualties for a particular second stage stratum):

An FSU may be a casualty for a particular second stage stratum although survey code is
not 7. If all the FSUs of a stratum/sub-stratum become casualties in this manner for a
particular second stage stratum, the stratum/sub-stratum will become void. In such cases,
sub-strata will be merged with other sub-strata for all the second stage strata as in Case
(I) above.

However, if whole district/stratum becomes void in this manner for a particular second
stage stratum, adjustment for this type of stratum void case may be done according to the
following guidelines.
The adjustment will be made involving other strata/sub-strata (within NSS region)
of the State/U.T. Suppose A, B, C and D are the four strata in the State/UT/Region and
stratum C is void for j-th second stage stratum. If Yˆaj , Yˆbj and Yˆdj are the aggregate
estimates for the strata/sub-strata A, B and D respectively, then the estimate Yˆ for cj

 Yˆ  Yˆ  Yˆ 
stratum/sub-stratum C may be obtained as  aj bj dj  Z c  where Za, Zb, Zc and Zd
 Z a  Zb  Z d 
 
are the sizes of strata A, B, C and D respectively.

5. Reference to the values of Zst, Nst, nst, zsti, Dsti, D*sti, Esti1j, esti1j, Esti2j, esti2j:

(a) Values of Zst, Nst and allotted nst for the whole round are given in appendix Table 2
for rural sector and in Table 3 for urban sector.
(b) nst should not be taken from the tables. The values of nstm for each sub-sample are
to be obtained following the guidelines given in para 9 above. It includes uninhibited
and zero cases but excludes casualty cases.
(c) The value of zsti for the samples selected by PPS is to be taken from the column of
sample list under the heading “selection size” or from item 15, block 1, schedule 0.0.
Value of Dsti is to be taken from item 18 of block 1, sch 0.0. D*sti is to be calculated
from the value of Dsti.
(d) Values of Esti1j, Esti2j are to be taken from col.(4), block 6a and 6b of sch 0.0 for
respective segments.
(e) The value of esti1j and esti2j should not be taken from col (8), block 6a and 6b of
sch.0.0. The figures should be obtained by counting the number of enterprises in the
data file excluding the casualty households.
