I am analyzing NFHS-1 data at the district level (though not representative), in which I find 17 districts in Tamil Nadu in data set. However, there were 16 districts as per Census 1981 (Sampling frame for NFHS-1). Also, I confirmed the districts (16) through various sources. The NFHS-1 Tamil Nadu state report also mentions there were 16 districts in 1981. So how can the date set show 17 districts in Tamil Nadu? Awaiting the reply.
