National Family Health Survey

National Family Health Survey has been an important component of the project to strengthen survey research capabilities of Population Research centres in India. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare designated the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) for providing coordination and technical guidance for NFHS.

NFHS-1 was conducted in 1991 and NFHS-2 was conducted in 1998-1999. NFHS-3 report was conducted in 2005-2006 and was released on 11 Oct 2007. NFHS administered three questionires for obtaining data, the Household Questionnaire, the Woman’s Questionnaire and the Village Questionnaire. Varying number of people for each of all 28 states including the Union territory Delhi, were interviewed.

It provides information on population, health and nutrition in India and each of its 29 states. The survey is based on a sample of households which is representative at the national and state levels. NFHS-3 provides trend data on key indicators and includes information on several new topics, such as HIV/AIDS-related behaviour and the health of slum populations. For the first time, NFHS-3 also provides information on men and unmarried women. In addition, HIV prevalence is measured at the national level and for selected states. This fact sheet presents provisional information on key indicators and trends at the national level. The NFHS-3 fi eldwork was conducted by 18 Research Organizations between December 2005 and August 2006 [1].

Overall performance

The results from NFHS-3 were used to compile many of these following rankings. On the national level, there are remarkable improvements in many of the aspects included in the survey. The literacy has increased to 67. 6%. Infant mortality has decreased from 68 for every 1000 births in NFHS-2 to 57. Contraceptive use among married people between 15-49 of age has increased from 48% to 56%. Total fertility rate has decreased from 2. 9 to 2. 7.
