FYI, the regions in India are harmonized in IPUMS DHS. The integrated geography variable (geo_ia1992_2015) is available under TOPICS -> GEOGRAPHY -> Integrated Geography. The integrated geography variable was constructed by a professional geographer using GIS and includes about 28 regions.

The integrated geography variable covers NFHS-1, NFHS-3, and NFHS-4 (regions were not identified in NFHS-2).

Because the full set of districts is only available for NFHS-4, as noted above by Fred Arnold, IPUMS was unable to harmonize those across surveys.
