The DECCMA Household Survey went live on May 31 2016 and was completed on July 19 2016. A survey company was appointed (according to our survey protocol) and representatives from Jadavpur University, Chilika Development Authority, and Sansristi were present from the project.<\/p>\n
Prior to this, training of enumerators, field testing of the questionnaire with the use of tablets, were done.<\/p>\n
Households from fifty locations within our study area were selected for this survey based on migrant and non-migrant as emerged from our household listing activity. The survey team travelled to four locations in Bhadrak district, eight locations in Jagatsinghpur district, five locations in Kendrapara district, twelve locations in Khordha district, and twenty one locations in Puri district to complete this survey.<\/p>\n
A total of 1427 households were surveyed which included both migrant and non-migrant households, and male and female respondents. DECCMA\u2019s gender sensitive approach ensured that male enumerators interviewed male respondents and female enumerators interviewed female respondents.<\/p>\n
The biggest challenge faced by the team during this activity was the heat wave. Odisha was suffering heat wave conditions since April and temperatures almost touched 50 degree Celsius during the survey. Necessary precautions were taken by carrying sufficient water and glucose. The afternoons were the worst and we had members from the survey team suffering blackouts due to the extreme heat. Some had to be hospitalised as well. Under such conditions, the survey had to be paused for a few days.<\/p>\n
During the data collection phase, some locations were revisited to maximise the response percentage. This was done since during the main data collection phase, there were some households where members were not present or unavailable to give responses at our time of visit.<\/p>\n
Simultaneously with the data collection, continued the data checking processes. The research team put in hard efforts to ensure that checking was done meticulously. The data from this survey will be guiding most of our research work.<\/p>\n
Since the DECCMA Indian team works in two deltas (Indian Bengal Delta and Mahanadi Delta), learning from this survey in Mahanadi Delta will help us in implementing it in the survey for the Indian Bengal Delta.<\/p>\n
The DECCMA-India team thanks all who have participated, guided, contributed, and helped in this Mahanadi Household Survey activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
