2. National Family Health Survey – 5- Himachal Pradesh 2019-20

The National Family Health Survey 2019-20 (NFHS-5), the fifth in the NFHS series, provides information on population, health, and nutrition for India and each state/union territory (UT). Like NFHS-4, NFHS-5 also provides district-level estimates for many important indicators.

The contents of NFHS-5 are similar to NFHS-4 to allow comparisons over time. However, NFHS-5 includes some new topics, such as preschool education, disability, access to a toilet facility, death registration, bathing practices during menstruation, and methods and reasons for abortion. The scope of clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical testing (CAB) has also been expanded to include measurement of waist and hip circumferences, and the age range for the measurement of blood pressure and blood glucose has been expanded. However, HIV testing has been dropped. The NFHS-5 sample has been designed to provide national, state/union territory (UT), and district level estimates of various indicators covered in the survey.

This fact sheet provides information on key indicators and trends for Himachal Pradesh. NFHS-5 fieldwork for Himachal Pradesh was conducted from 16 July, 2019 to 5 November, 2019 by Population Research Centre, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla. Information was gathered from 10,698 households, 10,368 women, and 1,477 men.
