ANNUAL HEALTH SURVEY
FACT SHEET
KEY FINDINGS
Dr. C. Chandramouli
Registrar General & Census Commissioner,
India
“ Reproductive health and rights are integral to
sustainable development and poverty reduction.
Investing in universal access to reproductive health is
crucial investment in healthy societies and a more
sustainable future”.
– Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General, UN on World
Population Day, 2012
“ Working for the survival and the well being of women and
girls is a human right imperative. And in order to take
advantage of women’s full potential in the development of
their nations, they must be able to plan their lives and
families.”
– Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director, UNFPA on World
Population Day, 2012
AHS provides key indicators on Reproductive
and Child Health at District level
in 8 EAG States and
Assam
Vital inputs for evidence based intervention and monitoring
“ There should be an Annual Health Survey of all
districts which could be published/monitored and
compared against benchmarks”
-Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India – In the meeting
of National Commission of Population, 2005
OBJECTIVE OF AHS
 AHS yields a comprehensive, representative and
reliable dataset on core vital indicators including
composite ones like IMR, MMR and TFR along with
their co-variates (process and outcome indicators) at
the district level and maps changes therein on an
annual basis.
 These benchmarks would help in better and holistic
understanding and timely monitoring of various
determinants on well-being and health of population
particularly Reproductive and Child Health.

AHS States constitute:
• 48 percent of country’s Population
• 59 percent of Births
• 70 percent of Infant Deaths
• 75 percent of Under 5 Deaths
• 62 percent of Maternal Deaths
Enable direct monitoring of UN Millennium Development Goals on
Child Mortality and Maternal Health at the district(s) level.
Help in identifying high focus districts meriting special attention in
view of stark inter-district variations in these States.
Provide critical inputs to assess the milestones of various
interventions including NRHM and pave the way for evidence
based planning.

KEY FINDINGS
 Replacement level of TFR 2.1 has been achieved in only 20 out of 284
AHS districts.
 In 164 districts, on an average a woman bears more than 3 children.
 More than half of currently married woman aged 15-49 years are
not using any method of family planning in UP, Jharkhand and Bihar.
 Female Sterilization constitutes the most dominant method of
family planning among the modern methods across all AHS States
except Assam.
 Male Sterilization is the least preferred modern method across all
AHS States.
 At least 1/5th of currently married women are yet to meet their
family planning requirement (Unmet Need) across all AHS States.
KEY FINDINGS
Contd…
 Marriages among female taking place below legal age (18 years) is
rampant in rural areas as compared to urban areas.
 Despite wider penetration of `Any ANC’, the coverage under `first
trimester ANC’ as well as `3 or more ANCs’ needs further
improvement.
 Poor performance of full ANC is primarily due to low IFA
consumption.
 Universal coverage of JSY remains a concern even in better
performing States like Odisha, MP & Rajasthan; the situation in
Jharkhand & UP needs immediate attention.
 Seven out of every 10 deliveries are `safe’ in Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Odisha and Assam whereas it is less than 5 in Jharkhand
and Chhattisgarh.
KEY FINDINGS
Contd…
• In spite of better reach of Post Natal Care to Mothers and New-borns in
Odisha, MP & Rajasthan, every fifth mother has not received any PNC.
• In full immunization, even the better performing States like
Uttarakhand,
Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan fall short by 25-30
percentage points in achieving universal coverage.
• Improvement has been noticed in most of the indicators as compared to
NFHS-3 as well as DLHS-3.
• Availability of 63 indicators (co-variates) on various facets of Mother &
Child Care at the district level will help in understanding the dynamics
of composite indicators like IMR, U5MR and MMR.
• For the first time, the data on TFR, Injury, Morbidity, Personal Habits
are available at the district level. This would provide new insight in
evidence-based planning and facilitate appropriate interventional
strategies.
WAY FORWARD
• The fieldwork for 1st updation round is over and the indicators on
vital rates reflecting the change vis-à-vis baseline survey are likely
to be released shortly.
• A Component of Clinical-Anthropometric & Bio-chemical (CAB)
Test on a sub-sample basis is scheduled to be introduced in
October.
