About The Project

The Institute has been assigned as a field agency to survey the entire Tripura. IIHMR took up the fieldwork in two stages. The first stage of fieldwork consisted of mapping and listing of households in selected sample village (s)/urban block (s). This served as a frame for the selection of households for collecting information in prescribed survey schedules and in the second phase (main survey) across Tripura State. The fieldwork for mapping and listing in the State of Tripura was completed in November 2023 covering a total of 384 PSUs across the 8 districts of Tripura. Main survey was completed in July 2024.
