Availability of Assets

The availability of following assets in the household was ascertained and the particular item, if available in the household, 'Yes' was entered and if not available, 'No' was recorded:
1. Radio / Transistor
2. Television
3. Telephone
4. Bicycle
5. Scooter / Motor Cycle / Moped
6. Car / Jeep / Van

The enquiry was limited to their availability and not their number. The above assets were treated as available only if these were in reasonable working order.

Regarding availability of telephone, the concern of the enquiry was limited to its availability and not the source. Therefore, if the telephone was provided to any member of the user household by the government, corporate office, company, etc., this was treated as available. This facility was also considered available if the household was using a cellular mobile telephone.

A car or a jeep or a van was treated as available to the household if this was put to use by the members of the household for their own use.
