(a):     Three rounds of NFHS have been conducted, each in the years   1992-93 (NFHS-1),   1998-99 (NFHS-2) and 2005-06 (NFHS-3) so far in the country.  A statement containing findings on some key indicators from these surveys is given at **Annexure** .

(b):     NFHS-4 has been launched during 2014, as planned.  Completion of field work, processing of data and release of survey reports generally take about two and half years.

(c):      NHFS-1 covered 24 States and National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, whereas NFHS-2 and NFHS-3 covered all States and NCT of Delhi, which comprise more than 99 % of India’s population.  Keeping in view the operational/technical feasibility, only these many States were covered in the said rounds. However, NFHS-4 has been designed to   cover all States / UTs.
