Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

For all of the NFHS surveys, the identifiers for cases include hv024. There are other errors too. Try this:

.
use kr.dta 
drop if b16 ==. | b16==0 
rename v024 hv024
rename v001 hv001
rename v002 hv002
rename b16 hvidx
sort hv024 hv001 hv002 hvidx
save krtemp.dta 

use pr.dta 
sort hv024 hv001 hv002 hvidx
merge m:m using hv001 hv002 hv003 hvidx using krtemp.dta 

save krpr.dta
