November 2021: Parsed summary sheets from NFHS-5 Phase 2 Compendium - States and Districts

NFHS-5 (2019-20) factsheets are now available for all states.

• India and Phase 2 States: http://rchiips.org/nfhs/factsheet_NFHS-5.shtml
• All States and Districts: http://rchiips.org/nfhs/Factsheet_Compendium_NFHS-5.shtml

I have updated the folder structure as follows:

1. code: Contains all scripts for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 extracts.

2. data for analysis: This contains the consolidated datasets for India, States, Districts in .csv and .dta formats.
   2.1 india.csv is from 'phase 2 release/NFHS-5 Phase 2 State Factsheets'.
   2.2 states.csv is from 'phase 1 release/NFHS-5 Phase 1 State Factsheets' and 'phase 2 release/NFHS-5 Phase 2 State Factsheets'.
   2.3 districts.csv is from 'NFHS-5 Phase 2 District Factsheets' only since these contain all States and UTs (except for HP/Kangra, HP/Chamba and MH/Dhule which are from 'NFHS-5 Phase 1 District Factsheets')

3. phase 1 release: The extracts from Phase 1 release only.

4. phase 2 release: The extracts from Phase 2 release only.

Notes on November 2021 release

1. There is definitely a possibility of errors during both PDF extraction and text preprocessing steps. Please do some eye-ball checks before using the data. Also, the code (R script) is available for you to edit.
2. The factsheets display some numbers within parentheses. The parentheses have been removed, but the comments are included as flags.
3. Some indicators names include notes. The footnote number in the name has been kept, but the notes have been lost. Please refer to the original PDFs for them.
4. Missing values in the original PDFs are either na (not available) or "*" (inadequate sample size).In the extracted files, they are set to missing.
