For Tamil Nadu in NFHS-1,the sampling frame in rural areas was the list of villages in the 1981 Census. In urban areas in Tamil Nadu, the sampling frame was the list of urban blocks provided by the National Sample Survey Organization, not the 1981 Census. NSSO used an expanded list of districts created after the 1981 Census. Below is the list of changes in the districts in Tamil Nadu between 1981 and 1991:

1985: Virudhunagar and Sivaganga districts split from Madurai and Ramanathapuram
1985: Dindigul district split from Madurai district
1986: Thoothukudi split from Tirunelveli district
1989: Tiruvannamalai and Vellore districts split from North Arcot district (District ceased to exist)
1991: Nagapattinam and Tiruvarur districts split from Thanjavur district

The sample selection procedure is described in the NFHS-1 national report.
