Following is a response from our Senior DHS Sampling Expert, Ruilin Ren.

If it is regarding the last Indian DHS 2005, the answer is as follows:

The household selection in all the cases is a systematic selection with a random start, performed in the central office with a rigorous selection program, based on the updated household listing for each CEB which was done specifically for the implementation of the DHS. This means that the interviewers just do the interviews with the pre-selected households they were given, they do not have the right to determine which households should be interviewed in the field.

This is the principle that is applied to all DHS surveys.
