Introduction
The National Family Health Survey 2020-21 (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.
However, estimates of indicators of sexual behaviour; husband’s background and woman’s work; HIV/AIDS
knowledge, attitudes and behaviour; and domestic violence are available only at the state/union territory (UT)
and national level.
As in the earlier rounds, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, designated the
International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai, as the nodal agency to conduct NFHS-5. The main
objective of each successive round of the NFHS has been to provide high-quality data on health and family
welfare and emerging issues in this area. NFHS-5 data will be useful in setting benchmarks and examining
the progress the health sector has made over time. Besides providing evidence for the effectiveness of
ongoing programmes, the data from NFHS-5 help in identifying the need for new programmes with an area
specific focus and identifying groups that are most in need of essential services.
Four Survey Schedules - Household, Woman’s, Man’s, and Biomarker - were canvassed in local languages
using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). In the Household Schedule, information was
collected on all usual members of the household and visitors who stayed in the household the previous night,
as well as socio-economic characteristics of the household; water, sanitation, and hygiene; health insurance
coverage; disabilities; land ownership; number of deaths in the household in the three years preceding the
survey; and the ownership and use of mosquito nets. The Woman’s Schedule covered a wide variety of
topics, including the woman’s characteristics, marriage, fertility, contraception, children’s immunizations and
healthcare, nutrition, reproductive health, sexual behaviour, HIV/AIDS, women’s empowerment, and
domestic violence. The Man’s Schedule covered the man’s characteristics, marriage, his number of children,
contraception, fertility preferences, nutrition, sexual behaviour, health issues, attitudes towards gender roles,
and HIV/AIDS. The Biomarker Schedule covered measurements of height, weight, and haemoglobin levels
for children; measurements of height, weight, waist and hip circumference, and haemoglobin levels for
women age 15-49 years and men age 15-54 years; and blood pressure and random blood glucose levels for
women and men age 15 years and over. In addition, women and men were requested to provide a few
additional drops of blood from a finger prick for laboratory testing for HbA1c, malaria parasites, and Vitamin
D3.
Readers should be cautious while interpreting and comparing the trends as some States/UTs may have
smaller sample size. Moreover, at the time of survey, Ayushman Bharat AB-PMJAY and Pradhan Mantri
Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA) were not fully rolled out and hence, their coverage may not have been
factored in the results of indicator 12 (percentage of households with any usual member covered under a
health insurance/financing scheme) and indicator 33 (percentage of mothers who received 4 or more
antenatal care check-ups).
This fact sheet provides information on key indicators and trends for Banda. Due to the Covid-19 situation
and the imposition of lockdown, NFHS-5 fieldwork in phase 2 States/UTs was conducted in two parts. NFHS-
5 fieldwork for Uttar Pradesh was conducted from 13th January 2020 to 21st March 2020 prior to the lockdown
and from 28th November 2020 to 19th April 2021 post lockdown by Academy of Management Studies (AMS).
In Banda, information was gathered from 977 households, 1,189 women, and 203 men.
