Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Fred Arnold:

The NFHS-3, NFHS-4, and NFHS-5 recode files include the requested information on the proportion of births at PHCs and CHCs, but the information is not available specifically for those categories since they are combined with other categories of institutions. For example, the full range of places of birth for NFHS-5 is shown below from WQ448:

Births in HDs are not included. I assume that you are referring to Health Departments, but I'm not quite sure. I suggest you examine the Woman's Questionnaires for NFHS-3, NFHS-4, and NFHS-5 to see what response categories were included in each survey, and then decide how to proceed with your research.
