5.2. Set <strong>II</strong>. Modules used for high frequency, seasonal and annual surveys: The second set<br />
consists of five modules, which are used for high frequency rounds of data collection at a regular<br />
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 />
84. Description of modules used for socio-economic data collection was discussed below.<br />
Labor, Draft animal and Machinery Utilization Schedule (VLS-K)<br />
Household Transaction Schedule (VLS-L)<br />
Monthly Price Schedule (VLS-M)<br />
Plot Cultivation Schedule (VLS-Y)<br />
Livestock Economics Schedule (VLS-Z)<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.
