Hello,

I want to uniquely identify subdistricts ("tehsils") in the 1992-23 NFHS. The country-specific variable SHTEHSIL contains 58 unique values, but these repeat across districts and it seems like there are many more subdistricts than that given the 56 unique districts. I just wanted to confirm if the unique identifier for tehsils is a concatenation of the variables SHDIST and SHTEHSIL, or is there a different way to do it?

Also, the NFHS Data File (Word doc) says the variable SHTOWN, which identifies town or village, is in the dataset, but it's not in the household recode file. Is this variable located elsewhere?

Thank you,

Paola
