District borders [message #24747]

Hi everyone,

I am using the NFHS-4 and the NFHS-5 for a cross-sectional analysis and I would like to analyze the changes of indicators at the district level. However, I realized that the number of districts drastically increased from 640 to 932 between survey rounds. Is it possible to determine which district the PSUs from the NFHS-5 would have belonged to in the NFHS-4. Alternatively, I could combine all districts that have been split, merged, or changed their borders to get a consistent set of borders across survey rounds. I thought about using the longitude and latitude of PSUs provided in the GIS dataset but I guess a classification based on long and lat won't be reliable due to random dislocation.

I am looking forward to you advice!
Sarah
