Quality of Surveys in NFHS

I am referring to the following two sentences appearing on page 37 of the article by S Irudaya Rajan and K S James “Third National Family Health Survey in India: Issues, Problems and Prospects” (EPW, 29 November 2008).

(2) “Anecdotal evidence and our guesstimates suggest that the profit of some of the consulting organisations from the NFHS was close to 50%”.
