Indicators ‘missing’ in NFHS being monitored through national databases, say sources

Key indicators from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) that are not included in initial factsheets are being tracked using national databases, according to sources familiar with the matter. These factsheets, which serve as the first phase of data dissemination, currently focus on 101 major indicators. A more comprehensive report is forthcoming, promising a broader spectrum of indicators, in-depth analyses, and detailed methodological documentation.

This approach ensures that crucial health and demographic data, even if not immediately published in summary factsheets, remains under observation and analysis for policy and public health planning.
