National Family Health Survey (NFHS-6)
Sixth round of the national survey on health, nutrition, family planning and gender, from the provisional IIPS district fact sheets. Every sheet also prints its district's NFHS-5 value, so each layer carries the change since 2019–21. IIPS restated that NFHS-5 value for some indicators, so it can differ from the NFHS-5 layers; the change always uses the restated one. Manipur was not surveyed.
