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).
(1) “Assigning data collection to consulting agencies that had no capacity-building agenda resulted in the survey becoming more a money-making exercise than one focusing on delivering good data”.
(2) “Anecdotal evidence and our guesstimates suggest that the profit of some of the consulting organisations from the NFHS was close to 50%”.
