Dataset - NSS Rounds Nos. 55, 61, 66 and 68 - Nutritional Intake in India: Year-, Region- and Fractile-class-wise All India Distribution of Persons by Percentage of Calorie Intake by Households
NSS Rounds Nos. 55, 61, 66 and 68 - Nutritional Intake in India: Year-, Region- and Fractile-class-wise All India Distribution of Persons by Percentage of Calorie Intake by Households
The dataset contains year-, region- and fractile-class-wise compiled All India data on number of persons (per thousand) among the households with different percentage levels of calorie consumption. The dataset presents the data by division of households by the level of their income (mpce fractile-class) and by percentage of calorie intake such as 70 percent, 80 percent, etc., to the actual standard requirement of 2700 kilocalories every day. Among these households with different percentages of calorie intake, the dataset presents the per thousand distribution of persons. The dataset has been compiled from Table No. 5R, 7R, 7A-R and 7-A of NSS 55th, 61st, 66th and 68th reports, respectively, from the year 2000 to 2012.
