Focus Group [foc]The fieldwork of 65th round of NSSO started from 1st July, 2008 and continued till 30th June, 2009. As usual, the survey period of this round was divided into four sub-rounds, each with duration of three months, the 1st sub-round period ranging from July to September, 2008, the 2nd sub-round period from October to December, 2008, 3rd sub-round from January to March, 2009 and 4th
sub-round from April to June, 2009. An equal number of sample villages/blocks (FSUs), as far as possible, was allotted for survey
in each of these four sub-rounds.

Unlike household surveys where data are collected from a member of each household selected for the survey, data were collected
in this survey for the entire slum from knowledgeable persons as judged by survey officials.Schedule 0.21 consists of 8 blocks including block 0. The blocks are:

Block 0: descriptive identification of sample FSU (Urban)
Block 1: identification of sample FSU (Urban)
Block 2: particulars of field operations

Block 3: particulars about the slum
Block 4: change in the condition of the slum during the last 5 years
