This
This table presents the distribution of Scheduled
Caste households by availability of bathroom and the type of
latrine within the house and the type of drainage connectivity
for waste water outlet. Scheduled Caste households refer to
those households where the head of household belongs to a
Scheduled Caste. The facility of latrine available to the
households within the house by three types viz., pit latrine,
water closet and other latrine is shown in the table. Other
latrines in this table includes the service latrines from where
human excreta is removed by scavengers, the latrines serviced by
animals such as pigs, etc. and all latrines other than the pit
and the water closet types of latrine. Similarly, the number of
households having drainage connectivity is further classified
into closed drainage and open drainage to carry away the waste
water of the household. The number of Scheduled Caste households
that have no latrine and no drainage system connectivity are
also shown in the table. The
concepts of availability of bathroom and latrine within the
house by types and drainage system may be seen in the chapter on
Concepts and Definitions. The data in this table are presented
for total, rural and urban areas separately.
