New Table in 2001 Census
This appendix table gives the distribution of
Scheduled Caste households by predominant material of roof of
the census houses occupied by them for fully as well as partly
residential purpose. A household has been treated as a Scheduled
Caste household when its head belongs to a Scheduled Caste. The
materials of roof are grouped into 9 categories such as Grass,
Thatch, Bamboo, Wood, Mud, etc.; Plastic, Polythene; Tiles;
Slate; G.I., Metal, Asbestos sheets; Brick; Stone; Concrete; and
any other material. For determining the material of the roof,
the major material used for the outer roof exposed to the
weather and not the inside ceiling was considered. However, in
the case of multi-storeyed buildings the intervening floor
constituted the roof of the lower floor. The data in this
appendix table are presented for total, rural and urban areas
separately.
