11. Presentation of the survey and limitations of the food consumption data
12. Indian National Sample Survey (NSS)A. DescriptionSet up by the GOI in 1950 to collect socio-economic dataConducted every 5 years 66th Round (July 2009 to June 2010)Period of survey divided into 4 sub rounds in 3 months durationCovered whole of Indian Union except for interior villages of Nagaland and Andaman and Nicobar IslandsTotal no. of HHs : 100, 855B. Food consumption dataRecall of daily food items consumed (last 30 days) Quantities in kilograms Values in LCU (Rs.)Number of food items: 146
13. LimitationsConsumer expenditures surveyAbsence of data on anthropometric measures, income & no. of food partakersShort reference period (1 month) ~ recall errorsSeasonal variation not accounted forFood source codes overlap Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep did not participate in the 66th round survey.FCT for India is not available
14. RecommendationsInclude anthropometric measures, income and number of food partakers Longer reference period to account for seasonal variability in consumptionClear distinction among food sourcesReconstruct country NCT once FCT becomes available
