Delay observed in Phase 2 of the survey (covering rest of the states) due to the COVID-19 pandemic and The result is expected to be made available in May 2021.
NFHS-5 aggregates data during 2014-19 and its assumption/underlying object is similar to NFHS-4 (2015-16) so as to make comparisons over time and also make a difference.

Anyone who has ever used the Internet.
For the first time in the country's population, 1020 females per 1000 males, the sex ratio at birth also improved by 10 points compared to 2015-16.There is good news for the country. For the first time, the number of females per 1000 males in the total population of India has gone up to 1020. This is what the figures of the National Family Health Survey-5 released on Wednesday show. Earlier in the NFHS-4 conducted in 2015-16, this figure was 991 females per 1000 males. Not only this, the sex ratio at birth has also improved. In 2015-16, it was 919 girls per 1000 children. In the latest survey, this figure has reached 929 girls per 1000 children. The special thing is that the sex ratio in the total population is better in villages than in cities. There are 1037 females for every 1000 males in the villages, whereas there are only 985 females in the cities.
The proportion of women in the population increased in 13 states and union territories, the proportion of newborn girls decreased. The birth of girl children decreased, but the number of elderly women in the population increased
The sex ratio in the total population of the country may be showing an inclination towards women for the first time, but the sex ratio at birth i.e. the proportion of newborn girls in 13 states and union territories has decreased as compared to 2015-16. This figure is surprising as the proportion of women in the total population has improved except for 3 out of these 13. That is, the birth of girls in these states is decreasing than before... but the number of elderly women has increased. Among these states, Kerala is such where the proportion of women in the total population is second only to Lakshadweep in the country, but the child sex ratio has fallen by 96 points compared to 2015-16. There are only 6 states in the country where the sex ratio in the total population has decreased.

The proportion of women in the population may have increased, but so far their condition has not improved much. Even today, 41% of the women in the country are those who have received more than 10 years of schooling, that is, they could study beyond the 10th standard. 59% of women could not study beyond 10th standard. In rural areas, only 33.7% women could study beyond 10th standard. Even in the 5G era, only 33.3% women in the country have access to the internet.
The number of women having their own bank account increased by 25%, women with their own property increased by 5% . 78.6% women operate their bank accounts. In 2015-16, this figure was only 53%. At the same time, 43.3% of women have some property in their name, whereas in 2015-16 this figure was only 38.4%. Women adopting safe sanitation measures during menstruation increased from 57.6% to 77.3%. However, anemia in children and women has emerged as a major concern. 67.1% of children and 57% of women aged 15 to 49 suffer from anemia. 30% of the population does not have a modern toilet of its own..3.2% of the houses do not have electricity .Households with own modern toilets were 48.5% in 2015-16. This number has gone up to 70.2% in 2019-21. But 30% are still deprived. Electricity has reached 96.8% of the households in the country. For the first time in the country, the fertility rate came below 2.1
For the first time, the fertility rate in the country has come down to 2. In 2015-16 it was 2.2. The special thing is that the fertility rate of 2.1 is considered as the replacement mark. That is, at a fertility rate of 2.1, the population growth remains constant. Fertility rates below this indicate a slowing down of population growth.
