v022 vs v023 is a common source of confusion. For the India DHS (NFHS) dataset, `v023` is recommended as the stratification variable instead of `v022`. `v022` is the standard DHS stratification variable, but in the case of India, due to state and urban/rural sampling, `v023` more accurately captures the actual strata used in the sample design. So your `svyset` command should be:

svyset [pw=weight], psu(v021) strata(v023)
