I have a few doubts about the variable Nightlights_Composite; these are as follows:
1) What is the methodology used for measuring composite? Is it like the annual average at the cluster level? Then it is not clear that for which year it has been taken.
2) For both files, the year mentioned in the description file is 2015; how it can be possible? I have tried to match at the cluster level for a few districts, but it didn't match. So, I need clarification on that.
3) Also, the mean and range of the Nightlights_Composite is declining from NFHS4 to NFHS5. I can suspect that COVID might be one of the reasons. But not sure, I needed further clarification.
