Each district will be a stratum. Within each district of a State/UT, generally speaking, two basic strata will be formed:
(i) rural stratum comprising of all rural areas of the district and
(ii) urban stratum comprising of all the urban areas of the district.
However, within the urban areas of a district, if there are one or more towns with population one million or more as per Census 2011, each of them will form a separate basic stratum and the remaining urban areas of the district will be considered as another basic stratum.
(b) In the case of rural sectors of Nagaland another special stratum will be formed within the State consisting of all the villages which are difficult to access.
The National Statistical Commission (NSC) decided that the 75th Round would be devoted to the subject of Household Consumer Expenditure (HCE) along with surveys on Social Consumption. It was also decided that the schedule of enquiry of this HCE survey will be along the line of Schedule 1.0 Type 2 in NSS 68th Round, i.e., with Modified Mixed Reference Period (MMRP).
