Distribution of households by source of lighting


Level of presentation: India / State / District / Tahsil / Town
New Table in 2001 Census

This table gives the distribution of households by the type of lighting source used by them. This table excludes institutional households for which the information on the source of lighting was not asked. The various sources of lighting on which the data was collected are electricity, kerosene, solar energy, other oil and any other source. Besides, such households, which do not use any source of lighting, are also shown in the table. In this connection it may be noted that the actual source of lighting used by the households during the greater part of the year was considered for the collection of data. The data in this table are presented for total, rural and urban areas separately.

The tahsil and town level data will be available only in electronic format.
