Women Receiving<br />

3 Or More ANC<br />

Visits<br />

During Pregnancy<br />

Women Receiving<br />

At Least 2 TT<br />

Injections<br />

Complete<br />

Immunization<br />

Coverage<br />

Immunization<br />

Dropout<br />

Contraceptive<br />

Prevalence Rate<br />

Index = {X 8d - Min(X 8d )}/{Max(X 8d )-Min(X 8d )}<br />

where X 8d measures the proportion of households connected with electricity in<br />

the d th district.<br />

Guidelines by the Ministry of family health and welfare recommend at least 3<br />

Ante Natal visits during pregnancy to expectant mothers. Higher the prevalence<br />

of such a practice better is it for the district.<br />

Index = {X 9d -Min (X 9d )}/{Max(X 9d )-Min(X 9d )}<br />

where X 9d is the percentage of women receiving 3 or more ANC visits during<br />

pregnancy in the d th district<br />

In India a high proportion of infant deaths occur owing to diseases such as<br />

tetanus infections. A preventive measure is to administer 2 doses of TT<br />

injections to expectant mothers during early stages of pregnancy.<br />

Index = {X 10d -Min(X 10d )}/{Max(X 10d )-Min(X 10d )}<br />

where X 10d is the percentage of women receiving at least 2 TT injections during<br />

pregnancy in the d th district<br />

Complete immunization requires children to receive BCG, Polio, DPT and Measles<br />

vaccines. This index measures the proportion of children in the age group 12 to<br />

23 months who have received complete immunization, in the district. Index =<br />

{X 11d - Min(X 11d }/{Max(X 11d )-Min(X 11d )}<br />

where X 11d is the proportion of children in the age group of 12 to 23 months<br />

completely immunized in the d th districts<br />

The Dropout rate measures the difference in the percentage of children<br />

receiving any vaccination and the % of children receiving all the prescribed<br />

vaccination.<br />

Index Value = {Max (X 12d ) - X 12d }/{Max(X 12d )-Min (X 12d )}<br />

where X 12d measures the percentage of children in the age group 12 to 23<br />

months not receiving complete immunisation in the d th district<br />

A high contraceptive prevalence rate indicates the success rate of the districts<br />

family planning programs.<br />

Index Value = {X 13d - Min(X 13d )}/{Max(X 13d )-Min (X 13d )}<br />

Where X 13d measures the contraceptive prevalence rate in the d dth district<br />

Composite Index<br />

The composite index is an average of all the aforementioned indices and thereby<br />

serves as an indicator of the level of development of a district with respect to<br />

the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the population<br />

Index = (1/13)* (Σ X id )<br />
