objective of the village survey was to give students a practical knowledge of

modernization with advancement in their socio cultural values.
As a small geographical unit all the attributes of physical environment that is hills,
open fields, irrigation by well and tube well, farm lands, rivers, demographic structure
was found in the area studied. I get acquainted with the knowledge of these features
by physically examine them. students of post Graduation course (M.A Geography)
participated in the survey.

We ask questions regarding village life and Government facilities available in that
village. Primary data was collected by the us with the help of a questionnaire and
direct interview of villagers. I participated very enthusiastically as this was a new
experience for me . I was overwhelmed by the natural beauty and simple lifestyle of
villagers.
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA
On the basis of method and sources by which the data is collected the data is classified into two types:
 Primary data
 Secondary data

Meaning of primary data

Those data which are collected afresh and for the first time and thus happen to be original in character and
known as Primary data. These data are in the shape of raw material.

Meaning of secondary data

Those data which have been collected by someone else and which have
already been passed through the statistical process or analyzed by someone
else are known as Secondary data. It is the data which may be published or
unpublished, but has been collected and is used for some other purpose
earlier.
SOURCES AND METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
Sources and methods of primary data collection
1) OBSERVATION METHOD: Observation method is a method under which data
from the field is collected with the help of observation by the observer or by personally
going to the field

2) INTERVIEW METHOD: This method of collecting data involves presentation or

oral-verbal stimuli and reply in terms of oral-verbal responses. Conversation and
communication is the main tool of interview.

logically, divided into groups, with the object of collecting information
for research

social problems. Schedules is like a questionnaires but it filled by enumerator.
Enumerators are specially appointed for filling the questionnaire, they explains
the aim and objective to respondent and fill the answers in provided space.
5) SURVEY METHOD: One of the common methods of
diagnosing and solving of social problems are that of
undertaking surveys.
• Surveys are…. 1. A detailed inspection or investigation.
• 2. A general or comprehensive view.
• 3. A gathering of a sample of data or opinions considered to
be representative of a whole

6)PANEL METHOD: In this method, data is collected from the

same sample respondents at the some interval either by mail
or by personal interview.

Sources/methods of secondary data collection

Secondary data are available mainly in two forms- published
data and unpublished data:-
PUBLISHED DATA:- Published data are more often the
information required by individuals and organizations is
published in some form or the other in consideration of user’s
need.
UNPUBLISHED DATA: - Unpublished data are that
secondary information which is available from records which
are not published due to privacy or variety of reasons. For e.g.
works of scholars, research workers, trade associations etc.
Secondary sources can be divided into two kinds :
1) PERSONAL/PRIVATE RECORDS OR DOCUMENTS
A)-Letters,
B)-Personal diaries,
C)-Autobiography and memories.
D)-Enquiries or investigation of private nature for use of their

2) PUBLIC DOCUMENTS OR RECORDS

REPRESENTATION OF DATA
• The transformation of data through visual methods like graphs, diagrams, maps
and charts is called representation of data.
• Such a form of the presentation of data makes it easy to understand the patterns
of population growth, distribution and the density, sex ratio, age–sex composition,
occupational structure, etc. within a geographical territory.
• There is a Chinese proverb that ‘a picture is equivalent to thousands of words’.
Hence, the graphic method of the representation of data enhances our
understanding, and makes the comparisons easy. Besides, such methods create an
imprint on mind for a longer time

on a population’s characteristics for demographic and economic analyses, educational
and manpower planning, poverty studies, and assessing progress toward national
objectives.

PROBLEMS AND SUGGESTIONS
Problems :
 There is no medical facility available in the village .
 No banking facility ,ATM’s banks and post office are nowhere found .
 There is no puplic transportation .
 There is no sewage system in the village .
Suggestions :

village if the village get aid from government in utilizing
advance technologies in agriculture, fishery ,and animal
husbandry
 The village has ample natural wealth in terms of sunshine
and wind which can harnessed to generate non-
conventional energy .
 Further ,promotion of agro-based industries can provide
suitable employment.
 It has great potential for tourism –sanka shyamji mandir
comes in picture.
 Awareness about benefits of dam construction .
 CONCLUSION
In nutshell ,it’s safe to conclude that village sankajagir is beautiful village have little bit level of socio-
economic development though not at that extent desired .much remains to be done .
Village is surrounded by natural beauty people here live simple life .crime rates in village is very low villagers
live peaceful life with homogeneity .the main occupation of village is agriculture .the amenities in the
village ,electricity ,drinking water ,roads ,health and sanitation are of poor condition no hospitals and clinic
are found villagers has to carry the patient either to narsingharh or district rajgarh for proper medication . as
far as literacy rate in concern only 30-45% of the total villags are made up of mud and bricks on few are
constructed properly .the village has relatively poor accessibility ,there is no public transportation
available .the villagers have domesticated buffaloes and cows .very few farmers have modern equipment of
ploughing like tractors
Apart from all these the village sankajgir got its importance through saka shyamji temple because of this
temple the aura of village is full to spirituality .tourism must be develop for thid historical and architectural
site which may further develop socio-economic stability of the village .another thing I observed in the village

in ongoing construction work of dam on river parvati may the picture of village will change in few years
ahead .
