Preface Disabled persons constitute about 2 per cent of the total population in our country. In order to evolve a successful programme for social integration of the disabled, information relating to their magnitude, type of disability, age at onset of disability, possible cause of disability, etc. is very essential. National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) in its endeavour to provide information on the magnitude and other characteristics of the disabled persons conducted the third survey of disabled persons in the country during July 2002 to December 2002. The previous two surveys were conducted during the NSS 36th round (July-December, 1981) and the NSS 47th round (July-December, 1991). The other subjects covered during this were housing condition, village facilities, particulars of slum and consumer expenditure, employment and unemployment. The present report contains for the first time, information on mentally disabled persons together with the information on persons with physical disabilities. Information on mental disability is presented for those with mental retardation and mental illness. Among the physical disabilities covered during the survey and the results presented in the report are the visual, hearing, speech and locomotor disabilities. The report gives the prevalence and incidence of different forms of disability and the distribution of disabled by cause of disability, marital status, educational level, living arrangement, activity status etc. All the technical work relating to this survey including, among others, development of sampling design, survey methodology and preparation of the report was undertaken by the Survey Design and Research Division of the NSSO. The field work for the survey was handled by the Field Operations Division. The collected data were processed by the Data Processing Division. The overall co-ordination between different agencies was done by the Coordination and Publication Division. I am grateful to the Chairman and members of the Governing Council of NSSO, as well as to the Chairman and members of the Working Group for their overall guidance starting from the preparatory stage to the completion of the survey. My thanks are also due to the officers of different divisions of NSSO for their contributions at various stages. The report, I hope, will be useful to the planners and policy makers. Comments and suggestions for improvement will be most welcome. New Delhi December, 2003

Report No. 485: Disabled Persons in India, July-December 2002 H 1
Highlights
• At the all- India level, 45571 and 24731 households having at least one disabled person, selected from 4637 villages and 3354 urban blocks respectively, were surveyed. The number of disabled persons enumerated in rural and urban India was 49,300 and 26,679, respectively.
• About 8.4 per cent and 6.1 per cent
of the total estimated households in rural and urban India, respectively reported to have at least one disabled person.
• The average size of these
households was estimated to be 5.7 in both the sectors, which was significantly higher than the average household size in general.
• The number of disabled persons in
the country was estimated1 to be 18.49 million during July to December, 2002. They formed about 1.8 per cent of the total population.
• About 10.63 per cent of the
disabled persons suffered from more than one type of disabilities.
• For every 100000 people in India,
there were 1755 who were either mentally or physically disabled. Among the rural residents, the prevalence of disability was 1.85 per cent and that among the urban, it was 1.50 per cent. The rate for males was 2.12 and 1.67 per cent
1 The estimates have been obtained for 1st October, 2002, by applying decennial (exponential) growth rate of population for 1991 – 2001 on Census 2001 Population.
while that for females was 1.56 and 1.31 per cent in rural and urban India, respectively.
• Among the different types of
disabilities, the prevalence of locomotor disability was highest in the country – it was 1046 in the rural and 901 in the urban per 100000 persons. This was followed by visual disability and hearing disability.
• About 69 persons per 100,000 were
either born disabled or become disabled for some reasons in India during the last 365 days. The incidence rate was also observed to be higher among males than that among females.
• About 84 per cent of the mentally
retarded and 82 per cent of the persons having speech disability were born with disability. For persons with other types of disability, they acquired disability during the course of life and it is largely associated with the old age.
• About 13 per cent of the physically
disabled were observed to be severely disabled as they could not take self-care even with aid/appliance.
• About 47 per cent of the disabled
were never married. The situation is worst among the mentally retarded..
• About 55 per cent of the disabled
in India were illiterate and about 9 per cent completed ‘secondary and above’ level of education.
Highlights
Report No. 485: Disabled Persons in India, July-December 2002 H 2
• Out of 1000 disabled persons, only 15 to 35 completed any vocational course and of them, 74 to 80 per cent in non-engineering stream.
• The current enrolment ratio per
1000 disabled persons of age 5-18 years in the ordinary school was higher in the rural than in the urban – 475 and 444, respectively for the two sectors.

Section One
Introduction 1.1 The National Sample Survey made its first attempt to collect information on the number of physically handicapped in the 15th round during July '59 to June '60. The enquiry was exploratory in nature and was confined to rural areas only. However, in the 16th round (July'60 - June'61), the geographical coverage was extended to urban areas. The subject was again taken up in the 24th (July'69 - June'70) and in the 28th (October'73 - June'74) rounds of NSS. The objective of these early enquiries was only to provide estimates of the number of persons in the country who suffered from certain specified physical handicaps. However, the types of physical handicap covered in all those rounds were not always same. The results obtained from NSS 24th and 28th rounds are published in Report No. 220. 1.2 For reasons of economy, information on the physically handicapped was collected in the early rounds in the survey schedules meant for other subjects. There was, therefore, very little scope for collecting information on cause, specific nature and other details of physical handicap. The enquiries were also not comprehensive due to obvious limitation of the survey methodology of those rounds. 1.3 The NSSO undertook a comprehensive survey of disabled persons in its 36th round during the second half of 1981, the International Year of the Disabled Persons. After a gap of ten years, a second survey on the disabled was carried out in the 47th round during July-December 1991 at the request of Ministry of Social Welfare, Govt. of India. In these surveys, the objective was to provide the data base regarding the incidence and prevalence of disability in the country. The basic framework of these surveys viz., the concepts, definitions and operational procedures was kept the same. While the earlier surveys were restricted to only the physically handicapped persons, in the surveys conducted during NSS 36th and 47th rounds, an extended definition was used to cover all the physically disabled persons. Information was collected from all persons with one or more of the three physical disabilities - visual, communication (i.e. hearing and/or speech) and locomotor. The particulars of disability of the disabled persons, such as, the type of disability, degree of disability, cause, age at onset of disability, type of aid/appliance used, etc. were collected along with some socio-economic characteristics. The results of the 36th round survey were released in two mimeographed reports - Report No. 305: Report on survey of Disabled Persons and Report No. 337: Characteristics of Disabled Persons, and that for the 47th round survey in Report No. 393: A Report on Disabled Persons in India. 1.4 Again after a gap of eleven years, the third survey on the disabled was carried out in the 58th round during July-December 2002 at the request of Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (MSJE), Govt. of India. In this round, the coverage was extended to include mental disability also, keeping all other concepts, definitions and procedures for physical disability same as those of the 47th round. Along with the particulars of physical and mental disabilities, the socio-economic characteristics of the disabled persons such as their age, literacy, vocational training, employment, cause of disability, age at onset of disability, etc. were collected.

1.5 It may be mentioned here that in the surveys conducted during 36th and 47th rounds, an attempt was made to collect information on developmental milestones reached by children at different age ranges. However, this was not attempted in the 58th round survey. 1.6 Difficulties in collecting information on disability: Since the data are collected by the non-medical investigators, it is imperative to define disability in a very careful and guarded way to minimize the bias of the investigators and respondents. To minimise these difficulties and to involve feasible and practical concepts and definitions of disability, the experts from the relevant medical disciplines were consulted prior to the 58th round. The decision to include mental disability in the survey was taken on the basis of a pre-test of the questions on mental disability, both for the listing and detailed schedules. 1.7 The results presented in this report relate to both physical and mental disabilities, namely, (i) mental disability, (ii) visual disability, (iii) hearing disability, (iv) speech disability and (v) locomotor disability. More specifically, the report gives the incidence and prevalence of different forms of disability and the distribution of the disability by cause of disability (as reported by the informant), marital status, educational level, living arrangements, activity status, etc. 1.8 Survey period: The field work for the 58th round survey was carried out during the second half of 2002 starting from July and continuing up to December - thus overing a period of six months. 1.9 Geographical coverage: The survey covered whole of Indian Union except (i) Leh and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir, (ii) interior villages of Nagaland located beyond 5 kms. from the bus routes and (iii) villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which were inaccessible throughout the year. 1.10 Work programme: The survey period was divided into two sub-rounds of three months duration each. Equal number of sample first stage units was allocated to each of these sub-rounds with a view to ensuring uniform spread of the interviews over the entire survey period. 1.11 Sample Design: A stratified multi-stage sample design was adopted for the 58th round. The first stage units were in most cases 1991 census villages in rural areas and urban blocks - demarcated by the Urban Frame Survey - in urban areas. The ultimate stage units were households - constituting a group of persons normally living together and taking food from a common kitchen. The details of stratification, allocation of samples to various states into stratum, selection of sample, etc. are given in Appendix B: Sample Design and Estimation Procedure. 1.12 Sample size : The number of sample villages and urban blocks surveyed in Central sample was 4637 and 3354, respectively. A total of 45571 and 24731 households were surveyed in rural and urban areas, respectively. Statement 1.1 provides the number of first stage units allocated and surveyed in different states/uts. the Statewise sample number of disabled persons for each type of disability is given in Statement 1.2 for rural and urban areas. It may noted that while in Statements 1.1 and 1.2 sample persons with only one particular type of disability is given, while generating tables for any particular disability, all persons with that disability together with any other disability (multiple) have also been considered. 1.13 Contents of the report : The results presented in this report relate to the data of only the Central sample. The report contains three sections and three appendices. Section Two provides the concepts and

definitions used for the purpose of survey on disability. The summary of findings giving important features at the all-India level as revealed by the survey is given in Section Three.. The detailed tables for all-India cross classified by age, sex and other correlates are given for rural and urban India separately in Appendix A. While the sample design and estimation procedure have been outlined in Appendix B, the facsimile of the schedule is given in Appendix C.

2.0 Some broad definitions of household, disability and its types, etc. that were used for collection of data pertaining to survey on disability and are also used in this report, are presented in this section. 2.1 Household: A group of persons normally living together and taking food from a common kitchen constituted a household. The members of a household might not be related by blood to one another. Note that residential institutions for disabled were also covered for the survey. 2.2 Disability: A person with restrictions or lack of abilities to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being was treated as having disability. It excluded illness/injury of recent origin (morbidity) resulting into temporary loss of ability to see, hear, speak or move. 2.3 Mental disability: Persons who had difficulty in understanding routine instructions, who could not carry out their activities like others of similar age or exhibited behaviours like talking to self, laughing / crying, staring, violence, fear and suspicion without reason were considered as mentally disabled for the purpose of the survey. The “activities like others of similar age” included activities of communication (speech), self-care (cleaning of teeth, wearing clothes, taking bath, taking food, personal hygiene, etc.), home living (doing some household chores) and social skills. 2.4 Visual disability: By visual disability, it was meant, loss or lack of ability to execute tasks requiring adequate visual acuity. For the survey, visually disabled included (a) those who did not have any light perception - both eyes taken together and (b) those who had light perception but could not correctly count fingers of hand (with spectacles/contact lenses if he/she used spectacles/contact lenses) from a distance of 3 metres (or 10 feet) in good day light with both eyes open. Night blindness was not considered as visual disability. 2.5 Hearing disability: This referred to persons’ inability to hear properly. Hearing disability was judged taking into consideration the disability of the better ear. In other words, if one ear of a person was normal and the other ear had total hearing loss, then the person was judged as normal in hearing for the purpose of the survey. Hearing disability was judged without taking into consideration the use of hearing aids (i.e., the position for the person when hearing aid was not used). Persons with hearing disability might be having different degrees of disability, such as profound, severe or moderate. A person was treated as having ‘profound’ hearing disability if he/she could not hear at all or could only hear loud sounds, such as, thunder or understands only gestures. A person was treated as having ‘severe’ hearing disability if he/she could hear only shouted words or could hear only if the speaker was sitting in the front. A person was treated as having ‘moderate’ hearing disability if his/her disability was neither profound nor severe. Such a person would usually ask to repeat the words spoken by the speaker or would like to see the face of the speaker while he/she spoke or would feel difficulty in conducting conversations. 2.6 Speech disability: This referred to persons’ inabil ity to speak properly. Speech of a person was judged to be disordered if the person's speech was not understood by the listener. Persons with speech disability included those who could not speak, spoke only with limited words or those with

loss of voice. It also included those whose speech was not understood due to defects in speech, such as stammering, nasal voice, hoarse voice and discordant voice and articulation defects, etc. 2.7 Locomotor disability: A person with - (a) loss or lack of normal ability to execute distinctive activities associated with the movement of self and objects from place to place and (b) physical deformities, other than those involving the hand or leg or both, regardless of whether the same caused loss or lack of normal movement of body – was considered as disabled with locomotor disability. Thus, persons having locomotor disability included those with (a) loss or absence or inactivity of whole or part of hand or leg or both due to amputation, paralysis, deformity or dys-function of joints which affected his/her “normal ability to move self or objects” and (b) those with physical deformities in the body (other than limbs), such as, hunch back, deformed spine, etc. Dwarfs and persons with stiff neck of permanent nature who generally did not have difficulty in the normal movement of body and limbs was also treated as disabled. 2.8 Economic activity: Any activity resulting in produc tion of goods and services that adds value to national product was considered as economic activity. Such activities included produc tion of all goods and services for market i.e. production for pay or profit and the production of primary commodities for own consumption and own account production of fixed assets, among the non-market activities. The entire spectrum of human activity falls into two categories viz. economic and non-economic activities. The economic activities have two parts - market activities and non-market activities. Market activities are those that involve remuneration to those who perform it i.e., activity performed for pay or profit. These are essentially production of goods and services for the market including those of government services etc. Non-market activities are the production for own consumption of primary products including own account processing of primary products and own account production of fixed assets. However the whole spectrum of economic activities as defined in the UN System of National Accounts (SNA) was not covered under 'economic activity' in the 58th round. The term "economic activity" included:
(i) all the market activities described above i.e. the activities performed for pay or profit, and (ii) of the non-market activities:
(a) all the activities relating to agricultural sector which result in production (including gathering of uncultivated crops, forestry, collection of firewood, hunting, fishing etc.) of agricultural produce for own consumption and (b) the activities relating to the own-account production of fixed assets. Own account production of fixed assets includes construction of own houses, roads, wells etc., and of machinery, tools etc. for household enterprise and also construction of any private or community facilities free of charge. A person may be engaged in own account construction either in the capacity of a labourer or a supervisor.

Section Three
Summary of Survey Findings
3.0.0 As mentioned in Section One, the main findings of the survey for all the states, union territories and India as a whole are presented by rural-urban residence. Besides providing incidence and prevalence rates of the disability in the population, the demographic and other correlates such as marital status, educational level, living arrangements, activity status, etc., of this group of persons have been highlighted in the discussion. Further, the distribution of the disabled by cause of disability, age at onset, etc. have been examined separately for each of the disability, namely, mental, visual, hearing, speech and locomotor. 3.0.1 It may be mentioned at the beginning that the discussions in this section are mainly focussed on the all-India results with its distinctive features among males and females, and also in its rural and urban parts. The summary tables for the states and union territories are presented at the end of this section to reveal the variations in the indicators of study across the regions. The detailed tables at the all-India level are presented in Appendix A. It may be noted that the sample size pertaining to smaller states and union territories may not be adequate and hence the results for those states and union territories are to be interpreted carefully. 3.0.2 Use of estimated aggregates: Generally, the population estimates obtained from the NSS surveys are found to be lower than those of the census population or its projections. However, the ratios obtained from the surveys are expected to be much closer to the true situation. Thus the marginal aggregates of population or households presented in the detailed tables of the Appendix may be used only for combining ratios. Estimated number of persons or households under any particular classificatory characteristic may be obtained by applying the relevant survey-based ratio to the projected population. 3.0.3 At the all-India level, 45571 and 24731 households were surveyed in rural and urban areas, respectively from 4637 villages and 3354 urban blocks. The number of disabled persons enumerated in rural and urban India was 49,300 and 26,679, respectively. According to the survey estimates, the number of disabled persons in the country was 18.49 million during July to December, 2002, and they formed about 1.8 per cent of the total estimated population1 . 3.0.4 About 10.63 per cent of the disabled persons suffered from more than one type of following disabilities, (i) mental disability in the form of (a) mental retardation or (b) mental illness, (ii) visual disability in the form of (a) blindness or (b) low vision, (iii) hearing disability, (iv) speech disability, and (v) locomotor disability. The distribution of persons having multiple disability by type of disability is given in detailed tables presented in Appendix A (Table 17) for rural and urban sectors of all-India. It may be noted that the diagonal cells of the table except for locomotor disability have been crossed. This implies that persons with single disability only are not taken into account for obtaining the distribution given in this table. In the case of locomotor disability, multiple types of locomotor disability was also considered as multiple disability (details in para 3.6.0).
1 The total estimated population for 1st October, 2002, is obtained by applying decennial (exponential) growth rate of population for 1991 – 2001 on Census 2001 Population.
Summary of Survey Findings

3.0.5 The aggregated estimates of the disability in rural and urban India are given in Statement 2, separately for each sex and type of disability. These estimates are obtained by using survey proportions on the projected population. It is observed that among the different types of disabilities, the number of persons having locomotor disability was the highest in both rural and urban India followed by the number of persons with hearing disability and visual disability. Chart 1 gives the percentage distribution of disabled persons by type of disability (using the survey estimates).

3.0.6 Statement 3 provides the distribution of households having disabled persons by number of disabled persons in a household for rural and urban sectors of all-India. It is seen that about 8.4 per cent and 6.1 per cent of the total estimated households2 in rural and urban India, respectively reported to have at least one disabled person in the household. The average size of these households was estimated to be 5.7 in rural and 5.5 in urban

sector, which was significantly higher than the average household size in general. Among these households, about 92 per cent had one disabled person, about 7 per cent had 2 disabled persons and nearly 1 per cent had 3 or more disabled persons, both in rural and urban sectors. The all- India pattern is also observed in most of the states and union territories and the distributions do not vary much across the states and union territories. The state-wise results are given in Statement 3.1.
Chart 1: Percentage distribution of disabled persons by type of disability
3.1 General observations on disabled persons 3.1.0 In the following paragraphs, the incidence and prevalence rates and the distribution of the disabled by various correlates are discussed for the disabled as a whole. 3.1.1 Prevalence of disability: For the purpose of the present survey, a person with restrictions or lack of abilities to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being was considered disabled. The estimates of prevalence of disability (number of disabled persons per 1,00,000 persons) are given in Statement 4. The survey reveals that for every 1,00,000 people in India, there were 1755 who were either mentally or physically disabled. Among the rural residents, the prevalence of disability was 1.85 per cent and that among the urban was 1.50 per cent. Between the two sexes, the prevalence of disability was marginally higher among males than among females. The rate for males was 2.12 and 1.67 per cent while that for females was 1.56 and 1.31 per cent in rural and urban India, respectively. The inter-state variations in the prevalence rate as shown in Statement 4.1, are significant in both the sectors. In the rural areas, it ranged from 0.67 (Delhi) to 2.71 (Himachal Pradesh) per cent while in the urban areas, it ranged from 0.52 (Delhi) to 2.61 (Lakshadweep) per cent excluding Arunachal Pradesh where the rate was only 27 per 1,00,000. The prevalence rates among males were higher than among females in all the states. The prevalence rates for major States and all- India is given in Chart 2.

3.1.2 Case specific prevalence of disability: The prevalence of various types of disability, viz., mental (retardation and illness) and physical (visual, hearing, speech, locomotor), is also given in Statement 4 for rural and urban India. The prevalence of locomotor disability is highest in the country – it was 1046 in the rural and 901 in the urban per 1,00,000 persons and for obvious reasons, it was highest among the aged who experienced the possibilities of incidence through out their life. The second in the list is the hearing disability. For every 1,00,000 persons living in rural areas 310 persons were having hearing disability. The corresponding figure was 236 in urban area.

3.1.3 Incidence of disability: The incidence of disability in population, that is, the number of persons whose onset of disability (by birth or otherwise) had been during the specified period of 365 days preceding the date of survey per 100,000 persons, is shown in Statement 6 for all- India. The corresponding rates are given for all the states and union territories and separately for males and females by their residential status. About 69 persons were born or otherwise became disabled per 100,000 persons in rural India during the reference year. The incidence rates were almost the same in both the rural and urban India. As in the case of prevalence rate, the incidence rate is also observed to be higher among males than that among females. The rates among males were 77 and 75, respectively in rural and urban India as against 61 and 58, respectively among females. On this aspect, the states and union territories also exhibit the same feature as given in Statement 6.1. The state-wise differences were quite high - ranging from 2 to 117 per 100,000 persons in rural India and from 11 to 132 per 100,000 persons in urban India. However, the incidence rate was highest in Adhra Pradesh (108). This apart, the states which showed high incidence rate of disability was Kerala (97), Himachal Pradesh (96), Maharashtra and Haryana (82 each) barring Chandigarh and Aunachal Pradesh where the rates were insignificant. Note that the prevalence rates were also relatively very low in the urban areas of these places. Contrary to the general pattern, rural areas of Uttaranchal, Arunachal Pradesh, Gujarat and Daman & Diu; as well as the urban areas of Uttaranchal and Haryana reported a higher incidence of disability among females than males during the year. The prevalence rates for major States and all-India is given in Chart 3.

3.1.4 Disability since birth: Some people are born with disability and the incidence varies over the types of disability. Prevalence of disability by birth is given in Statement 7 by type of disability separately for each sex and sector at all- India level. It is seen that about 84 per cent of the mentally retarded and 82 per cent of the persons having speech disability were born with disability. For persons with other type of disability the incidence by birth is not as significant as in the case of the mentally retarded or persons with speech disability. Most of them become disabled during the course of life. Incidence for some of the disabilities is largely associated with the old age. Number of disabled per 1000 disabled persons with onset of disability since birth is also given in Chart 4.

3.1.5 Extent of physical disability: For determining the extent of physical disability of a disabled person, self-care, such as, ability to go to latrine, taking food, getting dressed, etc. were taken into account. Irrespective of whether or not a disabled person had ‘single’ or ‘multiple’ disability, they were classified into one of the four categories, viz., (i) those not able to take self-care even with aid/appliance, (ii) those able to take self-care only with aid/ appliance. The degrees of disability referred to the above three categories are termed as (i) cannot function even with aid/appliance, (ii) can function only with aid/appliance, and (iii) can function without aid/appliance. There was another category of the disabled for whom the aid/appliance was neither available nor tried and this category alone was about 9 to 10 per cent of all the disabled. The distribution of the disabled by these categories, given in Statement 8 for each sex separately for rural and urban sectors of all-India reveals that among the disabled, about 13 per cent in both rural and urban India were observed to be severely disabled as they could not function even with aid/appliance. The corresponding percentage for males was 12 and for females a little higher at 15. On the other hand, about 60 per cent of the disabled were able to take self-care without any aid or appliances. In this category, the rural-urban differences are absent but a higher percentage of disabled males were capable to take self-care as compared to disabled females. The all-India pattern by and large is also reflected in the states. The state-wise results may be seen in Statement 8.1.

3.1.6 Marital status of the disabled: In Statement 9 is given the distribution of disabled persons by marital status for each sex and sector at the all-India level. It is seen that at the all-India level, out of 1000 disabled males residing in the rural areas – 471 were never married, 448 were currently married while in the urban areas, the corresponding numbers were 484 and 450. The male-female differences in these proportions are quite significant. The proportion of either the never married or the currently married among disabled males is found to be much higher than among females in both the sectors. About 30 to 31 per cent of disabled females in India were either widowed, divorced or separated as against 7 to 8 per cent of disabled males (widowed, divorced or separated). Sharp changes are observed in the distributions over the types of disability. Most of the mentally retarded seem to lead an unmarried life. Similar is the situation, although a little better, for persons having hearing disability. 3.1.7 Literacy among the disabled: Literates, for the purpose of this survey, were those who could read and write a simple message with understanding. Those who were unable to do so were considered as illiterates. The different levels of general education of those who were considered as literates were ascertained. The distribution of disabled persons (age 5 years and above) by level of general education (including illiteracy) is given in Statement 10 separately for rural and urban sectors of all-India. About 55 per cent of the disabled in India were illiterate and as expected, it was highest among the mentally retarded (87 per cent) followed by the visually disabled (74 to 77 per cent). The proportion of illiterate was about 59 per cent in the rural and 40 per cent in the urban among the disabled. On the other hand, about 9 per cent were of the category “secondary and above”. Only about 7 per cent of the
Summary of Survey Findings
Report No. 485: Disabled Persons in India, July-December 2002 17
disabled in rural India reported educational level “secondary and above” as against 18 per cent in urban India. This urban bias could be due to the availability of infrastructural facilities in the urban areas, particularly for the disabled. The State results are given in Statement 10.1 and the pattern of literacy observed at the all- India level is also seen in the States. Delhi followed by Kerala, as usual, has marked the highest literacy level among the disabled in both the sectors. The lowest literacy level is found in Arunachal Pradesh followed by Sikkim, Jharkhand, Bihar and Orissa.

3.1.8 Along with the general educational level of the disabled, information relating to whether or not any vocational course had been completed by them was collected. The vocational courses have been broadly divided into two categories – engineering and non-engineering courses. The data have been tabulated for the disabled of age 10 years and above and are presented in Statement 11 for all- India. Out of 1000 disabled persons living in rural India, only 15 completed any vocational course. In urban India, a comparatively higher number of disabled persons (35) have done so. Of them, about 20 to 26 per cent completed courses in engineering streams and the rest 74 to 80 per cent in non-engineering streams. The state-wise estimates, given in Statement 11.1, show some variance.

3.1.9 For the disabled persons of age 5-18 years, the particulars of enrolment in general (ordinary) as well as in the special school was collected. The information on attendance in pre-schools was also collected. The proportion of disabled persons of age 5-18 years who attended the pre-school intervention programme is given in Statement 12 for each sex separately for rural and urban sector of all-India and the proportion of persons enrolled in the ordinary and special school is given in Statement 13. In India, about 13 per cent of the disabled persons of age 5-18 years attended the pre-school intervention programme. The proportion was 20 per cent in the urban and was almost half of urban at 11 per cent in the rural. Surprisingly, proportion of disabled persons of age 5-18 years attending the pre-school intervention programme was highest among urban girls although the proportion was more for boys in the rural.

The enrolment ratio was the highest among persons having locomotor disability and the lowest, as expected, among the mentally retarded, and also, higher among the boys than among the girls. In the case of enrolment in the special schools, although the pattern remained the same, it was reversed – about 11 per cent enrolled in the special schools in the urban as compared to even less than 1 per cent in the rural. The enrolment ratio is relatively higher among the blind and children with speech disability. However, the gender bias in the enrolment ratio is not prominent.
Summary of Survey Findings
Report No. 485: Disabled Persons in India, July-December 2002 20
3.1.11 Usual activity of the disabled: The usual activity status of an individual is the activity situation obtaining for the person in respect of his/her participation in economic or non-economic activities during the reference period of 365 days preceding the date of survey. Adopting a relatively long time criterion, two major activity statuses are identified as : Labour force:
• working or being engaged in economic activities (work) (employed); • not engaged in economic activities (work) but available for work (unemployed) .
Out of labour force:
• not engaged in work and also not available for work .
Within the labour force, again a relatively long time criterion is adopted to identify the statuses as ‘working (employed)’ and ‘not engaged in economic activities (work) but available for work (unemployed)’. Each of the major activity statuses is divided into detailed activity statuses again on the basis of major time criterion. The distribution of disabled persons by their activity status, given in the column headings of Statement 14, shows that 26 per cent of the disabled persons were employed. The corresponding figures in rural and urban India were 26 and 24 per cent, respectively. Moreover, the proportion of employed among the disabled males was much higher than among the disabled females in both rural and urban

areas. In fact, the proportion among the disabled males was 35 to 37 per cent and that among the disabled females was 9 to 11 per cent. The percentage of disabled persons seeking and/or available for work was higher in the urban areas (1.2) as compared to that in the rural areas (0.6). Examination of the said proportions by type of disability reveals that most of the mentally retarded remained out of labour force. The proportion of employed was lowest at 6 per cent among the mentally retarded while the rate was highest at 34 per cent among the persons having hearing disability. The proportion of unemployed was negligible except for the disabled males with speech and locomotor disability.

3.1.12 Industry of work: The distribution of disabled persons who were employed by broad industry of work, given in Statement 15, shows that most of them in the rural areas were engaged in the primary sector whereas in urban areas, the tertiary sector followed by the secondary sector played the dominating role in employment generation so far as the disabled were concerned. The distribution pattern of workers by industry in the general population is to some extent observed among the disabled workers also. About 67 per cent and 73 per cent
Summary of Survey Findings
Report No. 485: Disabled Persons in India, July-December 2002 22
of the disabled male and female workers living in rural areas were engaged in the primary sector. On the other hand, the share of tertiary and secondary sector was about 89 per cent in the urban areas for male workers and 85 per cent for female workers. Substantial differences are also observed in the distributions in respect of type of disability.

3.1.13 Onset of disability with respect to work : Onset of disability in a person who was usually working may sometimes lead to loss of work or change of work. Information on whether the disabled person was working before the onset of disability was collected. For disabled persons of age 5 years and above, the proportion (per 1000 disabled) who were working before the onset of disability is given in Statement 16 for rural and urban India. The Statement reveals that about 37 per cent of the disabled (age 5 +) as a whole were working before the onset of disability. Among the males, the proportion was 41 per cent and among females, it was 32 per cent. The rural-urban difference exists and is tilted towards rural. As far as the type of disability is concerned, a very few among the mentally retarded were working before the onset of disability. This may be due to the fact that among them, a large proportion was born with mental retardation and therefore, they were unable to perform any economic activity. In this respect the person with visual disability are found to be affected most - the proportion among them being 54 to 60 per cent.

3.1.14 Living arrangements of disabled persons : Information on living arrangement of the disabled persons was collected to know whether they were living alone or with spouse only or with spouse and other members of the household. The results reveal that about 3 per cent of the disabled were living alone and it was 5 to 6 per cent among the visually disabled. These disabled persons did not have other members in the household to take care of them. Moreover, about 5 per cent of the disabled persons lived with their spouses only. But a large majority, about 92 per cent of the disabled lived with their spouse and/or other members in the family. The results relating to the distribution of the disabled by living arrangement can be seen from Statement 17. The rural-urban differences are not prominent. However, a marginal difference is observed among the various types of disability.

It is important to note that the mental disability was not covered in these rounds. Beginning with 36th round, the concepts, definitions and survey procedures for capturing the physical disability were the same in all the surveys on disability including the 58th round. It is, therefore, worthwhile to see the changes in the prevalence of disability in the country. It should be kept in mind that the mentally disabled was included in the 58th round and the age restrictions for the hearing and speech disability was done away with. Therefore, the results of the 58th round are not strictly comparable with the previous rounds. However, the prevalence rates are presented in Statement 18 to have a broad idea about the magnitude of disability.

3.2 Mental Disability 3.2.0 Persons who had difficulty in understanding routine instructions, who could not carry out their activities like others of similar age or exhibited behaviours like talking to self, laughing / crying, staring, violence, fear and suspicion without reason were considered as mentally disabled for the purpose of the survey. The “activities like others of similar age” included activities of communication (speech), self-care (cleaning of teeth, wearing clothes, taking bath, taking food, personal hygiene, etc.), home living (doing some household chores) and social skills. In this sub-section, the data collected for the mentally disabled have been examined to see the prevalence, cause of disability and age at onset. The mentally disabled were catagorised into two groups viz. mentally retarded and mentally ill. In the survey three probing questions were asked and based on the information so obtained, the persons were categorised into mentally retarded and mentally ill. The probing questions were:
• is there anyone in the family who has difficulty in understanding instruction, who does not carry out his/her activities like others of his / her age or exhibits behaviours like talking to self, laughing / crying without reason, staring, violence;
• if the response was affirmative to the question above, it was asked whether the behaviour was observed since birth / childhood but before 18 years of age;
• the third question was “was he/she late in talking, sitting, standing or walking?” If the response to these three questions were all in affirmative, then the person was categorised as mentally retarded. On the other hand, if the response to the first question was in affirmative but responses for the other two questions were not both in affirmative, then the person was categorised as mentally ill. 3.2.1 Prevalence of mental disability: The prevalence rate, number of mentally retarded / ill persons per 1,00,000 persons, has been obtained separately for the mentally retarded and mentally ill. Statement 19 provides the prevalence rate for rural and urban sectors of all- India.
It shows that about 94 persons per 1,00,000 were mentally retarded and the corresponding rate was 105 for the mentally ill. The prevalence rate was higher for males in both rural and urban sectors, and among the mentally retarded and ill. For the mentally retarded the prevalence rate was higher among males (113 to 118) as compared to females (69 to 81). The

corresponding figures for the mentally ill were 105 to 128 and 71 to 91. The rural–urban differences in the prevalence of mental retardation or of the mental illness were insignificant. The results pertaining to States and Union Territories are given in Statements 19.1 & 19.2 for the mentally retarded and mentally ill, respectively. 3.2.2 Cause of mental retardation: For mentally retarded persons, the distribution has been obtained by probable cause of mental retardation and is given in Statement 20 for rural and urban India. The principal cause of mental retardation was ‘illness during childhood’ (42 per cent) followed by the ‘head injury in childhood’ (10 per cent). Cases of mental retardation due to ‘pregnancy and birth related’ was 3 per cent. About 2 per cent of the mentally retarded reported that the incidence was hereditary. Note that for as high as 23 per cent of the mentally retarded, the respondent was not aware of the probable cause of retardation. There are marginal variations in these proportions in respect of sex and residential status. It may be mentioned that number of sample persons of age 60 years and above with a specific disability was very small for many states. The state level results relating to onset are, therefore, not expected to be reliable enough and therefore, not given in this report.

3.2.4 Mental retardation and developmental activity: Information whether the development of certain activity, viz., sitting, walking, and talking was delayed, was collected for mentally retarded persons. These have been analyzed in Statement 22 at the all- India level. Among the mentally retarded persons, sitting and walking were delayed in 2 per cent cases each, and talking was delayed in 9 per cent cases. Delay in any two of the activities or in all the three was reported by 86 per cent of the mentally retarded persons. Variations in these proportions were not significant over the sexes and sectors.

other disabilities, mental retardation is a phenomenon whose manifestation is observed since birth or at the very early ages of life. About 87 per cent of the mentally disabled reported to have the problem since their birth and about 8 per cent had it in the age group 0-4 years. For the mentally retarded females about 90 per cent among them had the problem since their birth. An important feature observed among the mentally retarded is that the manifestation of disability is completed within the teen-ages. The rural and urban features indicated that the phenomenon of mental retardation since birth is much higher in the rural than in the urban. Statement 23: Per 1000 distribution of persons 60 years and above with mental retardation or mental

On the other hand, the problem of mental illness is more of an old age problem. The possibility of onset of mental illness increases as one gradually becomes older. The trend and the possibility of onset over the ages is seen to be very steady for each sex and sector.

3.3 Visual Disability 3.3.0 A person was treated as visually disabled if he/she did not have light perception, both eyes taken together, or if he/she had light perception but could not correctly count fingers of a hand (with spectacles if he/she used spectacles) from a distance of 3 metres in good day-light. Thus, following the above definition, the visually disabled persons can be categorised into two broad groups: Blindness: Includes
persons who do not have light perception and persons who have light but cannot count fingers at a distance of 1 metre even with
spectacles and: normally use spectacles normally do not use spectacles Low vision:
persons who have light perception but count fingers up to a distance of 3 metres even with spectacles and:
normally use spectacles normally do not use spectacles These categories indicate different degree (severe or moderate) of visual disability. In the following paragraphs of this sub-section, apart from the prevalence of visual disability per 1,00,000 population, their distribution by degree of disability, probable cause and age at onset of visual disability are discussed. 3.3.1 Prevalence of visual disability: The number of visually disabled persons per 1,00,000 population for all- India has been presented in Statement 24. Out of every 1,00,000 persons, about 269 (240 for male and 301 for female) was visually disabled. Among them, 72 per cent were blind and rest 28 per cent had low vision. The prevalence of visual disability was substantially higher among the females than among males. The rate among the rural residents (296) was also significantly higher then among the urban residents (194). Another fact may be noted that about 24 per cent of the visually disabled were using spectacles and among the persons with low vision, the percentage was higher at 51. The results corresponding to the states and UTs are given in Statements 24.1 & 24.2. 3.3.2 Causes of visual disability: The information on probable causes of visual disability as known to the informant was collected in respect of only those who acquired the visual disability in the course of life. The distribution of such visually disabled persons by probable cause of visual disability is given in Statements 25 and 26 for rural and urban India. In India, the cause was not known to about 9 per cent of the blind. About 24 per cent reported ‘old age’ as the cause for their blindness. Apart from the ‘old age’, ‘cataract’ happened to be one of the main causes of blindness – the percentage reporting the cause was about 21. It may noted that the development of cataract takes place normally as the age of an individual progresses and is relatively higher at the old ages. ‘Other eye diseases’ caused blindness in about 17 per cent cases. These facts suggest that the blindness is essentially an old age problem. Although there is a marginal difference in the male–female and rural–urban distributions but the pattern in them remains same.
Summary of Survey Findings
Report No. 485: Disabled Persons in India, July-December 2002 30
Even for the persons with low vision, the pattern of distribution remains same as that for the blind. About 10 peer cent of them did not know the probable cause of their low vision and about 57 per cent reported to have the problem due to ‘old age’ or ‘cataract’. The other major causes for low vision were found to be ‘other eye diseases’ (12 per cent), ‘injury other than burns’ (5 per cent), ‘corneal opacity’ (4 per cent), etc.

3.3.3 Age at the onset of visual disability: Some people are born disabled and some acquire disability in course of time. For those who acquired disability after birth information relating to age at onset of disability was collected. In order to study the pattern of age at the onset of disability, the cohort of persons of age 60 years and above who acquired visual disability, have been considered here and their distribution over age at onset of disability is given in Statement 27 for rural and urban sectors India. The results are given separately for the blind and for persons with low vision. It appears that visual disability is an old age problem. About 68 to 72 per cent acquired visual disability at the age of 60 years and above. The onset of visual disability seems to start progressing at the age somewhere in 35-44 years. In the remaining age-groups (at onset) from 0-4 years, the percentages were found to be quite low – 1 per cent or even less. It is worth noting that both in the rural and urban sectors, the percentages tend to be higher in the first three age-groups (0-4, 5-9 & 10-14 years) than those in the next four age-groups. The results suggest that apart from old age, visual disability tends to manifest during the early years of life. Nevertheless, about 1 to 2 per cent was visually

1,00,000 persons is given for rural and urban India. In the country as a whole, the prevalence of visual disability has decreased marginally between 1981 and 1991, and substantially between 1991 and 2002. This is observed to be true in the case of incidence rates too. In the improved conditions of better health care over time, some of the ailments, like diarrhoea, cataract, glaucoma, etc. causing visual disability might have been prevented largely during the recent years. It may also be noted that a large proportion of people are using spectacles as a preventive measure to improve their ability to see objects properly that they could not have done so without spectacles. Further, visual disability is judged with or without spectacles depending upon whether one is using it or not.

3.4 Hearing Disability
3.4.0 Inability of persons to hear properly was considered as hearing disability. For the purpose of the survey, hearing disability was judged taking into consideration the ability of the better ear. In other words, if one ear of a person was normal and the other ear had total hearing loss, the person was judged as normal in hearing. Hearing disability was judged without taking into consideration the use of hearing aids. Enquiry about hearing disability was made only for persons of age 5 years and above in the 36th and 47th rounds. In this round, however, all persons were interviewed for collection of information on hearing disability. In the following paragraphs, the results relating to prevalence and incidence of hearing disability, its probable cause (as known to the informant), age at onset of hearing disability, etc. have been presented and discussed for all- India. 3.4.1 Prevalence of hearing disability: In Statement 29, the prevalence rate i.e. number of persons with hearing disability per 100,000 persons is presented for each sex separately for rural and urban sectors of all-India. The prevalence rate was higher in rural India (310) as compared to that in urban India (236) for males as well as females. Between the two sexes, the prevalence of hearing disability was marginally higher among males (319) than among females (301) in rural India while in urban India it was nearly of the same order (234 to 238). The male-female and rural–urban patterns observed above for all- India may be noticed in most of the states (given in Statement 29.1).

Severe hearing disability exists, if a person could hear only shouted words, while moderate hearing disability was reported when the disability was neither very severe nor severe. Persons having moderate hearing disability usually would ask to repeat the words spoken by the speaker or like to see the face of the speaker during conversations. Depending upon the extent of person’s inability to hear properly, the degree of hearing disability has been classified into 3 categories, such as, profound, severe and moderate. The distribution of persons with hearing disability by degree of disability is given in Statement 30 for rural and urban sectors of all-India. At the all-India level, about 32 per cent had profound and 39 per cent had severe hearing disability. The male–female and rural–urban differences were negligible.

Summary of Survey Findings
Report No. 485: Disabled Persons in India, July-December 2002 37
In about 25 and 30 per cent cases, for rural and urban India respectively, the probable cause of hearing disability was ‘old age’. Of the other reasons, ‘ear discharge’ and ‘other illness’ were identified as the cause by a comparatively large proportion of persons with hearing disability. It may be noted that nearly 1 per cent of the disabled (hearing) persons reported ‘German measles/rubella’ as the cause of hearing disability. The distributions for each sex and sector are seen to be similar in pattern. 3.4.4 Age at the onset of hearing disability: Some people are born with hearing disability, while some acquire it in the course of life. Information relating to age at the onset of hearing disability was collected for those who acquired it course of life. In order to study the age at onset, the distribution of persons aged 60 years and above with hearing disability by age at onset is given in Statement 32 for rural and urban sectors of all-India. The survey results reveal that in India, about 7 per cent of the persons with hearing disability were born with it. About 56 and 62 per cent reported the onset of hearing disability at ages 60 years and above in the rural and urban sectors, respectively. In both the sectors, the onset of hearing disability in each quinquennial age-group up to 30-34 years was quite low and almost of the same order - around 1 per cent. The results also indicate that the hearing disability is mainly a problem of old age. Statement 32: Per 1000 distribution of persons 60 years and above with hearing disability by age at

3.4.5 Prevalence and incidence of hearing disability – a comparision with NSS 36th and 47th rounds : The prevalence and incidence of hearing disability per 100,000 persons according to the NSS 36th , 47th and 58th rounds are shown in Statement 33. It may be noted that all persons of age 5 years and above were considered for collection of information on hearing disability in the 36th and 47th rounds, whereas it was for all persons in the 58th round. The rates for 58th round have, therefore, been obtained for persons of age 5 years and above and given in Statement 33.

Report No. 485: Disabled Persons in India, July-December 2002 39
3.5 Speech Disability 3.5.0 As mentioned in Section One, a person’s inability to speak properly was considered his/her speech disability. Speech of a person was judged to be disordered if the person’s speech was not understood by the listener, drew attention to the manner in which he/she spoke than to the meaning, and was aesthetically unpleasant. It also includes those whose speech is not understood due to defects in speech, such as stammering, nasal voice, hoarse voice and discordant voice and articulation defects. Persons with speech disability were categorised as:
(i) Persons who could not speak at all; (ii) Persons who could speak only in single words; (iii) Persons who could speak only unintelligibly; (iv) Persons who stammered; (v) Persons who could speak with abnormal voice; like nasal voice, hoarse voice and
discordant voice etc., (vi) Persons who had any other speech defects, such as articulation defects, etc.
Information on speech disability was collected for all the persons in the 58th round unlike the 47th round, where it was collected for the persons of age 5 years or more. 3.5.1 Prevalence of speech disability: Prevalence rate, that is, the number of persons with speech disability per 100,000 persons is given in Statement 34 for rural and urban sectors of all-India. It is found that during the latter half of 2002, 210 per 100,000 persons in rural India had a speech disability. The corresponding estimate in urban India was 187. The male-female difference was considerably high and a higher proportion of male had speech disability than females. Out of 100,000 males in the rural areas 242 had speech disability while the corresponding number in the urban areas was 221. On the other hand, 176 and 151 females per 100,000 females had speech disability in rural and urban India, respectively. Most of the States also show a similar pattern. The prevalence rate of speech disability was highest in the State of Kerala (335) followed by Himachal Pradesh (281), Andhra Pradesh (259) and Tamil Nadu (353). Some of the Union territories like Pondicherry and Goa also have very high prevalence rate of speech disability. The state-wise prevalence rates are given in Statement 34.1. 3.5.2 Type of speech disability: Of the persons reporting speech disability, the per 1000 distribution of the persons by type of speech disability is given in Statement 35. It can be seen from the Statement that while 48 per cent could not speak at all, 19 per cent could speak only in single words. The speech of about 33 per cent was not understood properly. The proportion of persons who cannot speak at all is more in the case of female disabled as compared to the males.
Statement 34: Number of persons with speech disability per 100,000 persons for each sex and sector all-India
3.5.3 Cause of speech disability: For those who acquired speech disability in course of time, information relating to probable cause of speech disability was collected. The results (see Statement 36) reveal that in rural and urban India, about 15 and 10 per cent of them respectively, did not know the cause of speech disability. Among the reported causes, ‘paralysis’ and ‘other illness’ were the major ones. As high as 46 and 49 per cent of cases of speech defects reported ‘paralysis’ or ‘other illness’ as the cause in the rural and urban sectors, respectively. About 9 per cent had developed speech disability due to mental illness/retardation and 8 per cent due to voice disorders. It may be worth noting that contrary to visual and hearing disabilities, only 1 per cent reported old age as the cause of speech disability. 3.5.4 Age at the onset of speech disability: For those who acquired the speech disability in course of time, information relating to age at the onset of speech disability was also collected in the survey. In order to study the pattern of age at onset of speech disability, the cohort of persons of age 60 years and above having speech disability has been considered and their distribution by age at onset is given in Statement 37 for rural and urban sectors of all-India. In view of the inadequacy of effective sample size, the results at the state level are not expected to be reliable enough, and therefore, are not presented here. At the all- India level, about 35 and 43 percent in rural and urban sectors respectively reported that they were affected by speech disability on reaching the age of 60 years or more. About 38 per cent of the people in the rural and 31 per cent in the urban areas have congenital speech defects. The next vulnerable age group shows that the development of speech defects was 45-59 years. The rural-urban differential in the onset of speech defect is marked both for congenital onset as well for the age 60 years or more. The onset of speech defects is seen to be more at higher age-groups.

3.5.5 Prevalence and incidence of speech disability - a comparison with NSS 36th and 47th rounds : As mentioned earlier, these three surveys on disabled persons were conducted adopting more or less the same concepts, definitions and procedures during the second half of 1981, 1991 and 2002, respectively. It is, therefore, possible to examine the changes in the prevalence and incidence of speech disability in the period 1981 to 2002. In Statement 38, the prevalence and incidence rates of persons with speech disability obtained from NSS 36th, 47th and 58th round surveys, are given for all- India. It may be noted that while the data for 36th and 47th rounds were collected for persons of age 5 years and above, those for the 58th round were collected for all ages. Hence for the sake of comparison estimates for persons of age 5 years or more have been taken for NSS 58th round.

3.6 Locomotor Disability 3.6.0 Persons having loss or lack of normal ability to execute distinctive activities associated with moving self and objects from one place to another were treated as persons having locomotor disability. Such loss or lack of normal ability can occur due to (i) paralysis of the limb or body, (ii) deformity of the limb, (iii) loss of limb, (iv) dysfuntion of the joints of the limb and (v) deformity of the body other than that in the limb. These are termed as types of locomotor disability. In this sub-section, the prevalence and incidence of locomotor disability in the society are examined. It may be noted that information upto two types of locomotor disability was collected for persons with multiple locomotor disability. 3.6.1 The survey estimated 10.66 million persons as having locomotor disability in the Country. Of them, about 8 million lived in the rural areas and 2.66 million in the urban areas. Further about 4 per cent of those who had locomotor disability reported to have either multiple locomotor disabilities (two or more types of locomotor disabilities) or 2 or more other disabilities in both the rural and urban sectors. 3.6.2 Prevalence of locomotor disability: The prevalence rate (per 100,000 persons) of persons having locomotor disability is given in Statement 39 for each sex separately for rural and urban sectors of all-India. Compared to other types of disability, the prevalence of locomotor disability per 100,000 persons was higher. The rate was as high as 1046 and 901 in rural and urban India. Among males, the prevalence was much higher than among females; 1217 and 785 (per 100,000) for males and females, respectively, for both the sectors taken together. At the state level, the all-India pattern is reflected. In Statement 39.1, the results for the States and Union Territories are given. Among the states, the prevalence of locomotor disability was highest in Punjab (1484) in the rural sector and in Kerala (1195) in the urban sector. The lowest prevalence rate among the bigger states was in Assam in both the sectors - 406 and 471 in rural and urban sectors respectively. The rates however, vary considerably among the states. 3.6.3 Type of locomotor disability: The per 1000 distribution of persons reporting locomotor disability by their type of disability is given in Statement 40. It is observed that of all persons having locomotor disability the proportion (per 1000) of them with deformity of limb is the maximum among the different types of locomotor disability, both in rural (458) and urban areas (442). This was followed by the cases of dysfunction of joints of the limbs, the proportions being 22 per cent in rural and 25 per cent in urban areas. About 15 per cent of the locomotor disabled were affected by paralysis. It may be noted that persons with multiple locomotor disability were accounted for against each type of locomotor disability they reported.

3.6.4 Probable cause of locomotor disability: The information relating to probable cause of locomotor disability, as known to the informant, was collected for those who were affected by locomotor disability. The distribution of such persons by probable cause of locomotor disability is given in Statement 41 for all-India. Polio was found to be the major reason for locomotor disability. About 30 and 27 per cent of the persons with locomotor disabilities reported ‘polio’ as the cause in the rural and urban sectors, respectively. The next in importance was the cause ‘injuries other than burns’ accounting for 26 to 27 per cent. Contrary to the results relating to visual and hearing disability, the percentage of persons who acquired locomotor disability due to ‘old age’ was as low as 3 to4 at the all-India level. In this context, it may be mentioned that the incidence of locomotor disability due to causes, like, stroke, arthritis, cardio respiratory diseases, etc. was generally higher at the older age than at the younger ages. Note that, about 3 per cent of the disabled persons reported leprosy (both cured and not cured) as the cause of locomotor disability. 3.6.5 Pattern of age at onset of locomotor disability: In order to study the pattern of age at onset of locomotor disability, the cohort of persons of age 60 years and above who acquired locomotor disability in course of time have only been taken into
account. The distribution of such persons by age at onset of disability is given in Statement 42. For persons having two types of locomotor disability, the age of the onset of the first among them has been considered. As was observed in the case of visual and hearing disability, for locomotor disability also, as high as 49 and 57 per cent were found to have acquired the disability at the age of 60 years and above in rural and urban India respectively. The said percentage in the preceding age-group (45-59 years) was 27 to 29. It also indicates that people in rural areas have relatively higher incidence of locomotor disability in the lower age-groups than those in the urban areas.

incidence of locomotor disability per 100,000 persons obtained from NSS 36th, 47th and 58th round surveys are given for all-India. It is found that over the periods 1981 to 2002, while the three rates between 1981 and 1991 showed an increase, it remained steady during 1991 to 2002 in the rural but with a very marginal dip in the urban sector. Further, the incidence rates have also dropped marginally during the period.

Note on sample design and estimation procedure of NSS 58th round 1. Introduction 1.1 The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), engaged in collection of socio-economic data employing scientific sampling methods, started its fifty-eighth round from 1st July 2002. The survey continued till December 2002. The primary objective of this survey was to gather information on social indicators like disability and housing condition. Besides, annual round of data on household consumer expenditure and employment-unemployment were also collected. 2. Subject coverage 2.1 The survey covered both mental and physical disabilities. Among the physical disabilities speech, hearing, visual and locomotor disabilities were considered. The other major topics covered were housing conditions, village facilities, slum particulars etc.
In addition, the annual consumer expenditure enquiry covering some key characteristics of employment-unemployment were also carried out on a sample of four households in each sample FSU.
2.2 Geographical coverage : The survey covered the whole of the Indian Union except (i) Leh and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir, (ii) interior villages of Nagaland situated beyond five kilometres of the bus route and (iii) villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which remain inaccessible throughout the year.
2.3 Period of survey and work programme : The survey period of this round was divided into two sub-rounds of three months duration each as follows:
As far as possible, equal number of sample FSUs was allotted for survey in each of the two sub-rounds to ensure uniform spread of sample FSUs over the entire round. Attempt was made to cover each such FSU during the sub-round to which was allotted. Because of the arduous field conditions, this sub-round restriction was relaxed in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, rural areas of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. 2.4 Schedules of enquiry: The following are lists the schedules of enquiry for this round:
schedule 0.0: list of households schedule 3.1: village facilities schedule 0.21: particulars of slum schedule 26: survey of disabled persons schedule 1.2: housing condition schedule 1.0: household consumer expenditure
2.5 Participation of States: In this round all the States and Union Territories except Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep participated at least on an equal matching basis. The following gives the prevalent matching pattern of the participating States/UTs:
Nagaland (U): triple J & K , Manipur, Delhi: double Goa, Maharashtra (U): one and half remaining States and UTs : equal
Appendix B
Report No. 485:Disabled Persons in India, July – December, 2002 B-2
3. Sample Design 3.1 Outline of Sample Design: A stratified multi-stage design was adopted for the conduct of survey of NSS 58th round. The first-stage units were census villages (panchayat wards for Kerala) in the rural sector and the NSSO Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. The ultimate stage units were households in both the sectors. 3.2 Sampling Frame for First-Stage Units: For the rural sector, the list of Census 1991 villages (panchayat wards for Kerala) and Census 1981 villages for J & K constituted the sampling frame. For the urban sector, the list of la test available Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks was considered as the sampling frame. 3.3 Stratification 3.3.1 Rural sector: Two special strata were formed as given below at the State/ UT level on the basis of Population Census 1991 viz.
Stratum 1: all FSUs with population between 0 to 50, and
Stratum 2: FSUs with population more than 15,000 The special stratum 1 was formed if at least 50 such FSU’s were found in a State/UT. Similarly, special stratum 2 was formed if at least 4 such FSUs were found in a State/UT. Otherwise, such FSUs were merged with the general strata.
From the remaining FSUs (not covered under stratum 1 &2) general strata (hereafter, stratum will refer to general stratum unless otherwise mentioned) was formed and numbered 3, 4, 5 …. etc. (even if no special strata have been formed). Each district of a State/UT was normally treated as a separate stratum. However, if the provisional population of the district was greater than or equal to 2.5 million as per Census 2001, the district was divided into two or more strata with more or less equal population as per population census 1991 by grouping contiguous tehsils. However, in Gujarat, some districts were not wholly included in an NSS region. In such cases, the part of the district falling in an NSS region constituted a separate stratum. 3.3.2 Urban sector: In the urban sector, stratum was formed within each NSS region on the basis of size class of towns as per Census 1991 town population except for towns specified in Table 4. The stratum number and their composition (within each region) are given below:
stratum 1: all towns with population (P) < 0.1 million stratum 2: all towns with 0.1= P < 0.5 million stratum 3: all towns with 0.5= P < 1 million stratum 4,5,6, … each town with P= 1 million
The stratum numbers was retained as above even if, in some regions, some of the stratum is not formed. 3.4 Sub-stratification: There was no sub-stratification in the rural sector. However, to cover more number of households living in slums, in urban sector each stratum was divided into 2 sub-strata as follows: sub-stratum 1: all UFS blocks having area type ‘slum area’ sub-stratum 2: remaining UFS blocks
Appendix B
Report No. 485:Disabled Persons in India, July – December, 2002 B-3
If there was one UFS block with area type ‘slum area’ within a stratum, sub-stratum 1 was not formed; it was merged with sub-stratum 2. 3.5 Total sample size (FSUs): A total number of 8338 and 9076 first-stage units were selected for survey in the Central and State samples respectively. The sample size by State and Sector is given in the Annexure 3.6 Allocation of total sample to States and UTs: The total sample FSUs was allocated to the States and UTs in proportion to provisional population as per Census 2001 subject to the availability of investigators ensuring more or less uniform work- load. 3.7 Allocation of State/ UT level sample to Rural and Urban sectors: State/UT level sample was allocated between two sectors in proportion to provisional population as per Census 2001 with double weightage to urban sector. 3.8 Allocation of Rural /Urban sector level sample size to strata / sub-strata: Both rural and urban sector samples allotted to a State/UT were allocated to different strata in proportion to population of the stratum. All the stratum-level allocations were adjusted to multiple of 2. Stratum-level sample size in the urban sector was further allocated to 2 sub-strata in proportion to the number of UFS blocks in them with double weightage to sub-stratum 1 subject to a minimum sample size of 2 or 4 to sub-stratum 1 according as stratum-level allocation is 4 or greater than 4. Sub-stratum level allocations in the urban sector were made even.
3.9 Selection of FSUs: FSUs were selected in the form of two independent sub-samples in both the sectors. For special stratum 2 and all the general strata of rural sector, FSUs were selected by probability proportional to size with replacement (PPSWR) where size was the 1991 census population. For urban sector and special stratum 1 of rural sector, FSUs were selected by simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR). 4. Selection of hamlet-groups/sub-blocks / households 4.1 Formation of hamlet-group/sub-block: Large villages/ blocks having approximate present population 1200 or more were divided into a suitable number of hamlet-groups/sub-blocks as given below:
approximate present population
no. of hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks formed
less than 1200 1 (no hamlet-group/sub-block formation) 1200 to 1799 3 1800 to 2399 4 2400 to 2999 5 3000 to 3599 6 ....and so on
For rural areas of Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Poonch, Rajouri, Udhampur and Doda districts of Jammu and Kashmir and Idukki district of Kerala where habitation pattern causes difficulty in listing due to topography of the area, hg formation criterion was relaxed for which number of hamlet groups formed as per population criterion is given below:
approximate present no. of hamlet-groups/
Appendix B
Report No. 485:Disabled Persons in India, July – December, 2002 B-4
population sub-blocks formed
less than 600 1 (no hamlet-group/sub-block formation) 600 to 899 3 900 to 1199 4 1200 to 1499 5 ....and so on
Hamlet-groups / sub-blocks were formed by more or less equalising population. For large urban blocks, the sub-block (sb) having slum dwellers, if any, was selected with probability 1 and was termed as segment 1. However, if there were more than one sb having slum dwellers, the sb having maximum number of slum dwellers was selected as segment 1. After selection of sb for segment 1, one more sb was selected by simple random sampling (SRS) from the remaining sb’s of the block and was termed as segment 2. For large blocks (having no slum areas) two sub-blocks were selected by simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) and were combined to form segment 2. For urban blocks without sub-block formation, segment number was 1 or 2 depending on whether the block was having a slum or not. For large villages two hamlet-groups were selected by SRSWOR and were combined to form segment 2. For villages without hamlet-group formation, segment number was also 2. The segments were considered separately for listing and selection of the ultimate-stage units. 4.2 Formation of Second Stage Strata (SSS) and selection of households for schedules 1.2 and 1.0: In each selected village/block/segment, three and two second stage strata (SSS) were formed for schedule 1.2 and schedule 1.0 respectively on the basis of structure type in rural areas and household MPCE in urban areas. The number of households selected for each FSU is given below:

4 2
SSS 2: households having at least one person with speech/hearing/ visual disability out of remaining households
4 2
SSS 3: households having at least one person with locomotor disability out of remaining households
4 2
The sample households were selected by SRSWOR from each SSS.
For a household having a person with more than one disability (i.e. multiple disability), SSS was assigned by priority criterion e.g. a household having a person with mental disability as well as locomotor disability was classified under SSS 1 and a household having one person with speech disability and another person with locomotor disability was classified under SSS 2.
