District Level Household Survey for Reproductive and Child Health Project Round II Phase -2 (Region # 7)

Agency : Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and World Bank

To monitor the progress of the Reproductive and Child Health intervention, a rapid household survey was planned for each district in the country in two phases every alternate year. As a part of this, during the year 1998-99, all the 30 districts in Rajasthan were covered. The findings of the survey throw light on the status of the fertility, mortality, antenatal, postnatal, essential neonatal care, breast feeding, immunisation and awareness of RTIs, STIs and HIV/AIDS. The new dimension added in this round of survey was the weighing of the children below six years and collection of blood samples from the children below six years, adolescent girls (10-19 years) and pregnant women to assess their nutritional status and anaemia. The second phase of the household survey has been initiated in 16 districts in Rajasthan.
