TI  - National Family Health Survey and children.
PG  - 1047-50
AB  - This article aims to describe the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) being 
      carried out in India with its first round during 1992-93 (NFHS-I) and second 
      round during 1998-99 (NFHS-II), with special reference to information available 
      in relation to children. The survey was on lines of the existing systems of 
      Demographic Surveys (DHS) in various developed as well as developing countries. 
      Another important objective of the survey was to provide quality data to the 
      researchers to carry out analytical work on various aspects. Further, the survey 
      has paved the way to carry out comparative studies not only between states in 
      India but also between countries. An attempt has also been made here to present 
      salient features of comparative results under NFHS-I and NFHS-II.
