Table of 1991 Census: Table H-5 ST
This table gives the distribution of Scheduled
Tribe households using a particular type of the drinking water
source, its location and availability of electricity and latrine
facility within the house. Scheduled Tribe households refer to
those households where the head belongs to a Scheduled Tribe.
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 Tribe 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.
