If the village has more than one school, the form may be filled by the headmaster of the school which has the highest school class. However, if the village has no school in it, the form may be filled by the headmaster of the school located in the nearest village, in consultation with the village officer/ patwari concerned.
2. (i) This survey covers recognized schools only. (ii) Recognized schools include government, municipal, panchayat samiti schools and private schools that have been recognized by the competent authority.

4. Items 1 to 6 have been filled already.

6. Item 10: Information has to be provided separately for each habitation in the village.
(i) A habitation is a distinct cluster of houses existing in a compact and contiguous manner with a local name. A village may have one or more than one habitation, except when it is a deserted/bechirag one.
(ii) Any habitation with population less than 10 in hilly/desert/sparsely populated area or with population less than 25 in plain areas may not be given a separate status of a 'habitation' and its population may be included in the nearest habitation of the same village. But this condition will not apply to a village with one habitation only.
(iii) In columns 4 to 6, if a habitation has mom than one school, provide information schools-wise according to classes taught. For example,
if a habitation has three schools; two of them having Classes I to V and the third one has Classes I to X, then information against the habitation may be entered as follows:
Col. 4 Col. 5 Col. 6
V 2
X 1
