interval of 3-4 weeks from each household during the survey. They are: (1) Utilization of human<br />

and bullock labor and mechinary (employment) (2) Household transactions (consumption of food<br />

and non-food, financial transactions, and purchase and sale of capital assets), (3) Market prices for<br />

different goods and services prevailing in the village (4) Cultivation details covering input-output<br />

data for each crop on a sub-plot basis by season, and (5) Livestock module to get the information on<br />

returns from livestock rearing. The same set of modules was used during first dynasty study 1975-<br />

5.3. Access to second generation VLS data (2005-06 to 2008-09):<br />

In second generation VLS, the information collected through different modules is<br />

computerizeds. Very few codes are created and printed under each VLS module, which helps the<br />

field investigator to use at the time of data collection. CSPro (Census and survey program)<br />

software is used for computerization of second generation VLS data. Now the data is available in<br />

CSPro, Excel and in the form of STATA datasets for survey years (2005-06 to 2008-09).<br />

User can directly access the STATA data sets related to each module in folders with the<br />

module name related to the respectiver survey years. For example data related to Employment of<br />

a household can be accesed from the folder K-employment for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and<br />

2008 in 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 data sets respectively.<br />

Similarly data for other modules of different years also can be accesses in the same<br />

method as explained above.
