Following is a response from Senior DHS staff members: Tom Pullum and Fred Arnold:

In the household questionnaire for the NFHS-3, Column 18 asks whether the person attended school or college at any time during the 2005-06 school year. If yes, Column 19 asks "During this/that school year, what standard/year is/was (NAME) attending? In India, the questions do not ask about the educational level, just the grade that the person was in. Then Question 20 asks whether the person attended school or college at any during the previous school year (2004-05). If yes, Question 21 asks what standard/year (NAME) attended in that school year.

During data processing, hv108 was constructed as a recode of hv106 and hv107. The easiest way to show how that was done is with the following table. It gives the value of hv108 for each combination of hv107 (rows) and hv106 (columns). Ignore the "Total" row and column.
