CHAPTER 6 CODING PROCEDURE In the 8 th All India Education Survey, data pertaining to school education will be collected from various units like, villages, towns, schools by canvassing the following tools. Village Information Form (VIF) Urban Information Form (UIF) Information Form ñ (SIF-) Information Form ñ 2 (SIF-2) College Information Form (CIF) The information collected through above mentioned tools is to be computerised for tabulation and storage for future use. It is therefore necessary to supply the information in the coded form. The coded information is of two types, i.e., (i) location codes, and (ii) response codes. The location code is a unique number by which villages, urban areas, recognised schools, and colleges of the country can be identified. The location code identifies State/ Union Territory,, Tahsil, C.D. Block, City/Town/Village and Ward (in class I cities). Therefore, the location codes are to be written on the cover page of every tool in advance before distribution. In addition, the same codes are to be written on the detachable flash statistics sheets of VIF, SIF-, SIF-2 and CIF. Response codes are generally of two types ñ one in quantitative and other in qualitative form (for example, the enrollment in a school is quantitative and types of building is qualitative). In the later case the response code to suitable applicable response is to be given in the box against the item. Instructions about response codes are specified in the schedules. The instructions should be followed while answering the items. Location Every location code adopted from Census 2, has been assigned a fixed number of digits. On the cover page of every tool, location codes are to be filled up in the contiguous boxes as per Master List. The following table shows the number of digits of the code and displays the length of every code in the form of contiguous boxes. In each box only one digit is to be written. The location codes of State/UT,, Tahsil, C.D. Block, Village/City and Ward (in case of class I cities only) will be provided. In case of villages and schools of rural areas, Ward code will be ëí. Similarly in case of Towns and schools of urban areas, the code for Tahsil and CD Block will be ëí.
