Situation Assessment Survey of Agricultural Households: NSS 70th Round, Schedule 33, January - December 2013 (Visit 2 )Study Type
Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey Series Information
National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) during NSS 59th Round (January - December 2003). Situation Assessment Survey of Farmers was the first of its kind conducted by NSSO. Though information on a majority of items collected through SAS had been collected in some round or other of NSS, an integrated schedule, viz., Schedule 33, covering some basic characteristics of farmer households and their access to basic and modern farming resources was canvassed for the first time in NSS 59th Round.The areas of interest for conducting SAS included the educational level of farmer households, economic well-being of farmer households as measured by consumer expenditure, income and productive assets, and indebtedness; their farming practices and preferences, resource availability, and their awareness of technological developments and access to modern technology in the field of agriculture. In this survey, detailed information was collected on receipts and expenses of households' farm and non-farm businesses, to arrive at their income from these sources. Income from other sources was also ascertained, and so was the consumption expenditure of the households. Keeping in view the same objectives of NSS 59th Round survey, in NSS 70th Round survey, it was decided to repeat the Situation Assessment Survey during January to December 2013. The major changes made with respect to concepts in the schedule are given below:a) In contrast to the definition of farmer used in 59th Round, the necessary condition of 'land possession' has been dispensed with in this round.
b) The nomenclature `Farmer household' has been changed to `Agricultural Household'. Accordingly the name of the schedule has been changed to `Situation Assessment Survey of Agricultural Households'
c) References to 'kharif' and 'rabi' seasons have been removed. Instead it was decided to collect data for two halves of the agriculture year 2012-13 as July to December 2012 and January to June 2013.
d) It was decided to collect actual expenditure (out of pocket expenditure) incurred by the household for running farm and non-farm business.
Schedule 33 is designed for collection of information on aspects relating to farming and other socio-economic characteristics of agricultural households. The information will be collected in two visits to the same set of sample households. The first visit will be made during January to July 2013 and the second, during August to December 2013. The survey will be conducted in rural areas only. Unlike 59th round, it has been decided that schedule 33 will be canvassed in both Central and State samples.

Abstract
In order to have a comprehensive picture of the farming community and to analyze the impact of the transformation induced by public policy, investments and technological change on the farmers' access to resources and income as well as well-being of the farmer households it was decided to collect information on Indian farmers through “Situation Assessment Survey” (SAS). The areas of interest for conducting SAS would include economic well-being of farmer households as measured by consumer expenditure, income and productive assets, and indebtedness; their farming practices and preferences, resource availability, and their awareness of technological developments and access to modern technology in the field of agriculture. In this survey, detailed information would be collected on receipts and expenses of households' farm and non-farm businesses, to arrive at their income from these sources. Income from other sources would also be ascertained, and so would be the consumption expenditure of the households.Kind of Data
