8. How long have you lived in (this town, R.N.V. district)?
Urban RNVs and rural villages
Question 8
When you read out the question you must say the name of the place you are interviewing in.
In urban areas - Say the name of the town.
In RNVs - Give name of RNV.
In rural village only - Give name of District.
If the person was born here in the place where you are interviewing write B/H.
If the person has come from somewhere else write down the number of years that the person has been living in that town or village.
Absences: If the person has been away from the place where they have been living for a long period then only count from when they come back again.
If the person has been away for a short period. E.g. like going on leave or going back to the village for a few weeks then do not worry about these absences.
Example
Assume a person was living at a place for 5 years then went home for 3 years and has come back and been here for another 2 years. In this case we only write down the last period i.e. 2 years.
