Questions and instructions

Literal question

How many community tubewell are there in the village?

Interviewer instructions

Recently, with renewed official emphasis on supplying hygienic drinking water to the rural population, sizable schemes of constructing tubewells for potable water have been launched in a number of states. Tubewells for community use are also constructed with locally mobilised funds. There are some which are constructed and controlled by the authority managing a temple, mosque, church and other religious institution. Some may also have been constructed by a community of the village for its own use. All such tubewells constructed for potable water, irrespective of the agency managing them, will be accounted for in this item, provided they are not held by a single household or a small group of households.

Note that shallow / deep tubewells meant for irrigation will not be counted for this item even if potable water is fetched by the villagers from such sources.
