The NFHS-5 data sets don't have an exact caste. NFHS-5 data sets do not have any variables that gives the exact caste of each woman, man, or the head of household. The only caste variables show whether the individual or household head is from a scheduled caste, a scheduled tribe, an other backward caste, other, or don't know. NFHS-5 does not have any information on individual or household income. The wealth variable is only for the household, not for individuals in the household.
