Abstract: Abstract The present study finds family quality of life index (FQLI) for 14 states of India. The study used 55 family health indicators collected from National Family Health Survey (NFHS) for the period 2005–2006 and 2015–2016. The Wroclaw taxonomic technique is used to find the FQLI. Small improvement has been observed in FQLI (2015–2016) in comparison with FQLI (2005–2006). Out of the 14 states, Goa is ranked first and Bihar is ranked last in the FQLI for the period 2005–2006 and 2015–2016. The study confirmed the existence of interstate disparities in FQLI.
