[18] What is the main reason for staying in this district of [the respondent]?

Column 18: what is the main reason that [the respondent] is living in this district?

This question is asked of only persons not born in this district, i.e. born in another district or country. No one leaves his or her birthplace without any reason. Hence, with the belief that nobody migrates without any reason, this question should be ask. There could be many reasons to leave the usual birthplace (another district or another country) and come to this district for living, these reasons have been divided here into 8 reasons. If a person migrates for agriculture, circle the reference 1, if for business, circle the reference 2, if for employment, circle the reference 3, if for study, circle the reference 4, if due to marriage, circle the reference 5, if any member of a family has migrated and others are dependent (e.g. children, wife, husband) to this person and migrated here, circle reference 6, if a person has been displaced due to conflict (political, ethnic, etc.) and come here to live, circle reference 7, and besides all these above stated, if a person has been migrated here due to any other reasons, circle the reference 8 and specify the reason (e.g. refugee, getting cheap land).

Some families might have migrated to various districts one after another, leaving his usual birthplace. In that situation, whatever the main reason to leave his or her birthplace, write the main reason to leave.
