The '''India Human Development Survey (IHDS) 2005'''<ref>Desai, Sonalde, Amaresh Dubey, B.L. Joshi, Mitali Sen, Abusaleh Shariff and Reeve Vanneman. 2010. India Human Development in India: Challenges for a Society in Transition. New Delhi: Oxford University Press. Pp. 234</ref> is a nationally representative, multi-topic survey of 41,554 households in 1,503 villages and 971 urban neighborhoods across [[India]]. Two one-hour interviews in each household covered topics concerning health, education, employment, economic status, marriage, [[fertility]], gender relations, and [[social capital]]. Children aged 8-11 completed short reading, writing, and arithmetic tests. Additional village, school, and medical facility interviews are also available.

A follow-up survey was conducted in 2012 that revisited over 40,000 of the same households as the 2005 survey. This makes the IHDS unique in India as a large-scale survey where results from two time periods can be directly compared.

This survey was designed by Professors Sonalde Desai and Reeve Vanneman from [[University of Maryland, College Park|University of Maryland]] and researchers from the [[National Council of Applied Economic Research]] and funded by the [[National Institute of Health]]. Results from this survey are summarized in a book titled ''Human Development in India: Challenges for a Society in Transition'', published in 2010 by the [[Oxford University Press]].

A new wave of this survey is planned for 2020-22. The principal investigators for this wave are Sonalde Desai, Feinian Chen, Keera Allendorf, Amaresh Dubey and Santanu Pramanik.
