The district codes for NFHS-1 are the same as the 1991 Census district codes for urban areas and the same as the 1981 Census district codes for rural areas, except for Assam, Delhi, and Punjab, for which the district codes are the same as the 1991 Census district codes. I'm not sure why there are two codes for Delhi. It might have something to do with the fact that Delhi is all urban except for one district that is rural.
