  The Ministry of Health Family Welfare, Government of India (GOI) is implementing the Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) program in the country. The Government of India is interested in critical evaluation of the program implementation and outcomes. Therefore it was decided to undertake household survey to obtain estimates of programme indicators for all districts in the country, once in two years covering approximately 50 percent of the districts. These surveys are rapid, estimating a limited number of indicators, with focus on the following aspects:
  Coverage of ANC and immunization services; Proportion of safe deliveries; Contraceptive prevalence rates; Unmet need for family planning; Men and women’s knowledge regarding RTI/STI, HIV/AIDS; and Utilization of health services and the user satisfaction.
  Simultaneously with household surveys and in the same districts, the Government of India has decided to undertake surveys of selected facilities (PHCs, FRUs, CHS and district hospitals) to assess availability of trained staff, equipment and supplies and their utilization.
