NSS Rounds Nos. 50, 55, 61, 66 and 68 - Nutritional Intake in India: Year-, State-, Region- and Fractile-class-wise Percentage of Calorie and Protein Intake among Indian Households
The dataset contains Year-, state-, region- and fractile-class-wise data on percentage of calorie and protein intake from food items such as cereals, cereal substitutes, pulses, milk and its products, eggs, fish and meat and other food items by Indian Households belonging different fractile classes.
Note: For the years 2023 and 2024, the NSS published separate data with adjusted and unadjusted values for intake of calories and other things. However, the report categorically stated unadjusted values are best used for comparison purpose. Hence, only the unadjusted data is captured in the dataset for 2023 and 2024.
