Thank you for the response.
I am appending the files to get a repeated cross-sectional dataset so it is necessary in this context that I append it.
I followed the advice of Kerry MacQuarrie for both NFHS 1 & 2 to create a strata variable, however they are not unique within waves. V024 is the states variable and V025 is they type of residence
gen strata = v024*v025
tab strata v024
I got the following output after following the 2 steps mentioned by Kerry.
I am not certain if this was the expected output but as you can see, two states have the same two strata variable. So adding the prefix depending on NFHS 1 or 2 would not work. Do let me know if there is a way to rectify this before appending.
