Hygiene and sanitation will be the focus of the next round of sample survey across the country that will begin on July 1.

K.P. Unnikrishnan, Deputy Director-General, National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), South zone, said here on Monday that source and availability of drinking water and housing conditions too would be included in the survey.

In the south of Karnataka, including Bangalore district, 76 villages and 116 urban blocks have been chosen for the survey.

At a training session for field investigators, Mr. Unnikrishnan said, “There is a need for them to understand ground realities and transform them into good data.” To ensure accurate data, additional questions have been incorporated into the survey. Some of them are: how garbage is disposed of, the quality of sanitation and principal source of water.

Staff shortage

Mr. Unnikrishnan told The Hindu that the NSSO is short of regular staff. He said that 50 per cent of the field investigators were hired on contract basis every year. He said, “Although there are vacancies, we do not find people with the required qualifications.”
