New Table in
2001 Census
This table presents the distribution of Scheduled
Tribe households by availability of bathroom and the type of
latrine within the house and the type of drainage connectivity
for waste water outlet. A
household was treated as a Scheduled Tribe household if its head
belonged to a Scheduled Tribe. The facility of latrine available
to the households within the house by three types viz., pit
latrine, water closet and other latrine is shown in the table.
Other latrines in this table includes the service latrines from
where human excreta is removed by scavengers, the latrines
serviced by animals such as pigs, etc. and all latrines other
than the pit and the water closet types of latrine. Similarly,
the number of households having drainage connectivity is further
classified into closed drainage and open drainage to carry away
the waste water of the household. The number of Scheduled Tribe
households that have no latrine and no drainage system
connectivity are also shown in the table.
The concepts of availability of bathroom and latrine
within the house by types and drainage system may be seen in the
chapter on Concepts and Definitions. The data in this table are
presented for total, rural and urban areas separately.
