AB  - Recently, the data quality of the National Sample Surveys (NSS) and the National 
      Family Health Surveys (NFHS) has become the centre of discussion [1,2]. Two 
      issues that have been raised include the overestimation of the rural population 
      in these surveys and greater response rates in poorer wealth groups compared to 
      the richer groups. Technically, there are concerns about the generalisability of 
      these surveys. Politically, the argument is that together these issues bias the 
      surveys toward depicting the country as worse off. In other words, the surveys do 
      not capture the growth in urbanisation and accompanying wealth generation that 
      has happened over the recent past.
