This
This table gives the distribution of Scheduled
Caste households using a particular type of the drinking water
source, its location and availability of electricity and latrine
facility within the house. A household was treated as a
Scheduled Caste household if its head belonged to a Scheduled
Caste. For the purpose of this table, the data are presented by
four major types of drinking water source. These are: tap,
handpump, tubewell and well. The remaining types of drinking
water source have been combined and shown as ‘all others’.
The location of availability of the drinking water source type
has been indicated as within the premises, near the premises
(i.e., if the available source is located within a radius of 100
metres in urban areas and 500 metres in the case of rural areas)
and away. The drinking water source type has been considered ‘away’
if it is located beyond 100 metres for the households in urban
areas and more than 500 metres for the households living in
rural areas. The objective of the table is to depict the number of
Scheduled Caste households to whom all the three facilities are
available, the number of households to whom only two facilities
are available and the households to whom only one facility is
available. The data
in this table are presented for total, rural and urban areas
separately.
This table is for presentation in electronic
format only.
