Mapping the social progress: reflections of National family health survey
17 Feb 2022 10:28:09
Newsbharati is happy to introduce the interactive map on a very valuable social data.
The NFHS 5 has collected data on 131 social indicators. As compared to NFHS4, 31 new indicators were added in NFHS 5. The data is published at district level but data on some select indicators is made public only at State level in NFHS 4 & 5. This map displays state-wise percentage of all indicators for NFHS 5, NFHS 4 and the difference. The difference is color coded in two ways. If the growth in number of the indicator in general indicates social progress [Example indicator 7. Population living in household living with electricity] then the color is from red to green. If the growth in number indicates regress or deterioration in social health [Example indicator 125. Ever-married women age 18-49 years who have ever experienced spousal violence (%)] then the color is from green to red. Select the indicator from the drop down and the desired option to view the map.
User can also embed the map with his selected indicator into any website or blog. The district level interactive map will be published on newsbharati very soon. We are also publishing a series of data analysis news on NFHS.
