Description
Definition
Household
A 'household' is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from doing so. Persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of unrelated persons live in a census house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of a common household. Each such person was to be treated as a separate household. The important link in finding out whether itwas a household or not was a common kitchen. There may be one member households, two member households or multi-member households.
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe
Article 341 of the Constitution provides that the President may, with respect to any State or Union territory, specify the castes, races or tribes or parts of or groups within castes, races or tribes which shall for the purposes of the Constitution be deemed to be Scheduled Castes in relation to that State or Union territory. Article 342 similarly provides for specification of tribes or tribal communities or parts of or groups within tribes or tribal communities which are to be deemed for the purposes of the Constitution to be Scheduled Tribes in relation to the various States and Union territories. In pursuance of these provisions, the list of Scheduled Castes and / or Scheduled Tribes are notified for each State and Union territory and are valid only within the jurisdiction of that State or Union territory and not outside.
It was ascertained if the head of the household belonged to a Scheduled caste or a Scheduled Tribe. If in reply to this question, the answer was in the affirmative, the name of caste / tribe to which the head of the household belonged was ascertained. Only if the name of caste / tribe returned by the respondent appeared in the list that was made available to the enumerator, she or he was treated as belonging to Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe. If the head of household returns herself / himself asScheduled Caste, her / his religion was also ascertained. This is mainly because Scheduled Caste can be only from Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists and not from any other religion. But a member of Scheduled Tribe may belong to any religion. This question was not asked in the case of Institutional Households.
