Inside the dataset
863 indicators across 12 domains, for every State and Union Territory, 2005-2023. Start with a domain, search the full dictionary, or scan the coverage matrix. Coverage deepens sharply with the 2019 redesign of the source report.
Data access
CSV and XLSX, verified against the source reportsThe full dataset is shared on request while it is being prepared for formal release.

Cell colour = share of that domain's indicators reporting in the year, scaled within each row. Rows are not comparable to each other by colour.
Every state, every year
Pick an indicator and scrub the timeline. Values are printed on each state; the smaller territories are called out with leader lines. Click any state for its full profile.
Pre-2015, Telangana is included in undivided Andhra Pradesh. Jammu & Kashmir includes Ladakh before 2020. Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu are shown combined across all years (summed before their 2020 merger). Hatched states mark values the source reports as not applicable or not reported.

National trends, 2005-2023
Headline series for rural India. Counts are facilities and staff reported in position; adequacy divides them by the requirement derived from Indian Public Health Standards population norms.
Two decades of change
Where the rural public health system stood in 2005, and where the 2022-23 report leaves it. Each row compares the first and latest reported national totals.
Relative change between the 2005 and 2022-23 reported totals. Sub Centre counts include HWC-SCs after the 2019 integration. L = lakh (1,00,000).
Tribal-area and rural systems, read together
The RHS publishes rural and tribal-area tables separately. Joining them yields a capacity index for each system (facilities in position over facilities required) and a disparity index, the tribal capacity relative to rural.
Capacity index C = in position ÷ required (1.0 = adequate)
Disparity index D = Ctribal ÷ Crural (below 1.0 = tribal areas worse off)
National values. 2019 is read from that report's HWC-integrated columns (same definition, renamed for one year). Endpoint values verified against the 2011 and 2021 source PDFs, table by table.
