The sixth edition of the National Family Health Survey is likely to be published next month, according to official sources. Recognised as one of India’s largest and most detailed sample surveys, NFHS-6 covered 6,79,238 households across all states and Union Territories during 2023–24. Conducted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the survey generates reliable and comparable data on population trends and key health indicators, with coordination and technical support provided by the International Institute for Population Sciences.
In addition to tracking emerging issues in health and family welfare, the survey supports policymakers and programme implementers in setting benchmarks and evaluating progress over time, following the previous round conducted in 2019–21. NFHS-6 utilised a fully digital data collection approach through Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI), featuring real-time error detection and validation tools. The process also included strict field supervision, multi-level data checks, and thorough verification to ensure accuracy, consistency, and reliability of the findings.
