Households Using Solid Cooking Fuel, India State-wise

The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) is the fifth round of India's flagship household health survey, conducted in 2019-21 by the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) with support from ICF International. It covers a nationally representative sample across all States and Union Territories.

Key characteristics of the source:

• Health and nutrition indicators: child and maternal nutrition, anaemia, mortality, vaccination coverage
• Reproductive health: fertility rates, contraceptive use, antenatal and postnatal care
• Household and demographic indicators: sex ratio, literacy, wealth index, access to sanitation and drinking water
• State and district-level estimates: data available at national, State, and district level
• Time-series context: NFHS-5 is comparable with NFHS-4 (2015-16) and earlier rounds for trend analysis

Data Processing

• Values extracted from published NFHS-5 state and national factsheets and report tables
• State names normalised to TheMapsDaily region IDs
• Indicators taken as published; percentage and rate values stored with appropriate data type
