Interviewer instructions
A plot may be possessed by a tribal household according to traditional tribal rights. Generally, a plot of land is given to the household by local chieftains or village/district council. The holder of such land may or may not possess a title of ownership. Even if the household does not possess a title of ownership, it will be deemed to have owner like possession without title provided the household has the right of long term use of the land. Government is aware of the situation and in some states has taken various measures to confer titles to the owner of those lands. In column (7), information on the status of ownership of each plot will be collected. The entries will be made in codes as given below:

with title ………………………………… 1
without title but applied for …………….. 2
without title and not applied for ……….. 3
customary title …………………………. 4

One of the codes 1 to 3 will be applicable in those states where Government has already conferred titles or is taking measures towards that direction. Code 4 will be given in cases where a plot is owned according to tribal rights and where (in states or districts) Government has not yet taken any step towards conferring titles to individuals.
