The present contribution makes the 21st part of the Social Change Indicators series. We have considered specific social and economic issues in the preceding editions, which included vulnerable households across social classes, poverty, migration, living conditions, social protection, displacement of labour, old-age health and morbidity conditions, women's time use patterns, intimate partner violence, household assets/indebtedness, and aspects of higher education. In this part, we provide a comparison of maternal health indicators across major states and UTs of India.

This contribution makes the 20th part of the Social Change Indicators series. In this analysis, we attempt to compare aspects of social and economic attainments for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes across states in India.

The present contribution is the 19th part of the Social Change Indicators series. In this part, we examine the state of higher education and its various facets for different states of India.

The present contribution makes the seventeenth part of the Social Change Indicators series. We have previously deliberated on several social and economic issues and the topics have included vulnerable households across social classes, poverty, migration, living conditions, social protection, displacement of labour, old-age health and morbidity conditions, women's time use patterns, and intimate partner violence. In this part, we examine the assets and indebtedness of households across rural and urban areas, occupational types as well as social classes in different states of India.

The present contribution makes the 16th part of Social Change Indicators series. We have deliberated on several social and economic issues in the previous editions, and the topics included vulnerable households of different social classes, poverty, migration, living conditions, social protection, displacement of labour, health and morbidity conditions of older adults, women's time-use patterns and intimate partner violence. In this part, we examine the nutritional status of adult males and females (aged 15–49 years) as well as children below 5 years, across states of India. We first provide the state-wise prevalence of malnourished children in rural and urban areas according to the anthropometric indices of underweight (weight for age). Subsequently, the ranking of states based on percentage of children who are underweight, stunted, wasted, and anaemic is presented. The information on the prevalence of adult male and female with below-normal body mass index or anaemia is included next. As a final point, information on the degrees of overweight men, women, and children is presented.

The present contribution makes the fifteenth part of the Social Change Indicators series. We have deliberated on several social and economic issues in the previous editions and the topics included vulnerable households across social classes, poverty and migration, living conditions, social protection networks, displacement of rural labour, health and morbidity conditions for older adults, and women's time-use patterns. In this part, we examine intimate partner (or spousal) violence and help-seeking behaviour across the states of India. We provide state ranking on spousal violence based on the percentage of ever-married women aged 18–49, who have experienced emotional, physical or sexual violence. Subsequently, we provide statistics on attitudes towards wife-beating, frequencies of spousal violence by several background characteristics, and also the help-seeking responses of women who have experienced physical or sexual violence.

The present contribution is the fourteenth part of the Social Change Indicators series. We have deliberated on the social and economic challenges due to the pandemic in the previous issues, and the topics covered include vulnerable households, poverty and migration, living conditions, social protection networks, rural labour displacement and health conditions of older adults. In this part, we examine women's unpaid and unrecognised work in different states of India. We present the state ranking of percentage of persons participating in a day in employment and related activities as major activity in time-use activity classification and then information on percentage of females participating in a day in unpaid activities as well as in non-System of National Accounts (Non-SNA) production, considering all the activities in the time slot.
