Coverage

All 36 States and UTs, two rounds: 2015-16 and 2019-21.

Limitations

NITI Aayog publishes a headcount ratio rather than an ordinal, so the rank here is computed from its released figures and ties share a place. The figures come from the National Family Health Survey, so a new round arrives only when the survey does; 2019-21 is the most recent available rather than a current measurement.
