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

The usual way to get this would be with the KR file for children born in the past 5 years. Enter "gen nndeath=0" and "replace nndeath=1 if b6<128". The mean of this variable will be a proportion; you can multiply a proportion by 1000 if you want neonatal deaths per 1000 births. Use the national weight, v005. I assume you have looked up the variables for states and union territories and districts. Someone can help you with the formatting of the results. You will have a lot of numbers to work with if you want an estimate for each district. You could use the "proportion" command, which will give confidence intervals.
