Table of 1991 Census: Table H-5 SC
The table presents the cross classification of
Schedule Caste households by the type of the drinking water
source and its location and the availability of electricity and
latrine facility within the house. A household has been treated
as a Scheduled Caste household if its head belongs to a
Scheduled Caste. For the purpose of this table the data are
presented by four major source types of drinking water while all
other sources of drinking water have been combined and shown as
‘all others’. The four major types of drinking water source
are tap, handpump, tubewell and well. The location of the
drinking water source type availed has been indicated as within
the premises, near the premises (i.e., when the available source
typed 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 table depicts the availability of
electricity and latrine facility to such of the Scheduled Caste
households, which have particular source type of drinking water
available within the premises, near the premises or away. The
data in this table are presented for total, rural and urban
areas separately.
