Interviewer instructions
Literate (yes-1, no-2) : The literacy status of each member is to be ascertained carefully before making entry here. A person is considered a literate if he/she can read and write a simple sentence in any language with understanding. For children below 5 years this question need not be asked and code 2 may be recorded for them. For others it will be essential to probe in detail whenever it is felt that the educational achievement of the person is not sufficient to accept the response as it is particularly if the person has not completed primary level of school education. Mere questions like if the person has attended school is not considered enough. To obtain consistent estimates of literacy, the concepts adopted in the 47th round survey is to be followed strictly.
