Series Information

The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) has been set up by the Government of India in 1950 to collect socio-economic data employing scientific sampling methods. The NSSO conducts regular surveys as part of its “rounds”, each round being normally of a year's duration and covering more than one subject of study. The surveys are conducted through household interviews, using a random sample of households covering practically the entire geographical area of the country.

The Governing Council of the NSSO decided to collect information on Utilisation of Medical Services along with Survey on persons aged 60 years and above in the 42nd Round Schedule 25.7. The field operations of the 42nd NSS round commenced on 1st July 1986 and continued up to June, 1987. The field work for the survey was conducted, as usual, by the Field Operations Division of the Organisation. The collected data were processed by the Data Processing Division of NSSO and tabulated by the Computer Centre of Department of Statistics.
