Preface

This study on Housing Condition in India is part of a larger collaborative project

between the SR Sankaran Chair on Rural Labour Studies, National Institute of Rural

Development, Hyderabad and the Laurie Baker Centre for Habitat Studies,

Thiruvananthapuram. The main objective of the collaborative effort is to analyse the

condition of housing and related living amenities for the poor in the country with

special focus on rural areas as well as the socially disadvantaged sections of the

population. As a first step, this study examines the housing condition and related

living amenities in the country and presents quantitative estimates based on data from

the two Population Censuses viz., 2001 and 2011 as well as the National Sample

Survey 65th

Round (2008-09). While certain indicators are similar for both sources,

the latter allows for a detailed computation of several additional indicators relating to

housing and related living amenities.

This study report has taken care to examine the condition of housing in rural areas in

the constituent states of India and place it in relation to the situation in urban areas. In

addition it has also focused on the Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes separately

to examine their position in relation to other sections of the population. The resulted

are summarized in the introductory chapter.

The study team consisted of K.P. Kannan (Team leader), G. Raveendran (Statistical

Adviser), Neethi P. Menon and Soumya Maria (Research Associates) and S. Dhanya

(Research Assistant. The study team would like to place on record the cooperation,

support and advice received from Professor D. Narasimha Reddy, the first SR

Sankaran Chair Professor at the NIRD as well as his successor Professor Kailas Sarap.

The team also would like to thank their colleagues at the LBC especially P.B. Sajan,

Member Secretary, V.K. Anilkumar, Chief Administrative and Programme Manager

for their administrative support.

Chapter 1

Introduction and Summary of Findings

“Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being

of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and

necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment,

sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances

beyond his control.”

Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25.1)

1. Introduction

Housing is a basic requirement of human well-being. Along with the requirement of

shelter, other facilities in the micro environment of housing such as type of dwelling

unit, drinking water, sanitation, drainage, etc., constitute housing condition of the

people that forms a vital component of their overall quality of life.

Housing is one of the basic needs of every individual as besides providing shelter and

security, it also enables easy access to the credit market by working as collateral

comfort / security.

Inadequate and inappropriate housing is a manifestation of deprivation and is

important both as a factor in enhancing human development that would not only

contribute to enhancing productivity and efficiency but also enhance social dignity.

If housing is to be considered as a basic deprivation, then the state in a democratic

polity has a primary obligation to ensure that it is not just alleviated but eradicated

altogether. However, studies focusing on this basic deprivation in India is far and few

although periodic collection of information relating to housing and related aspects are

collected nationally by the Registrar of Census Operations through its decennial

population census as well as by the National Sample Survey Organization for selected

years. It is also equally important to note that while struggles for other basic

entitlements such as food security, employment, social security, basic education and

basic health care have a long history and are continuing, such broad-based and

prolonged struggle and advocacy for housing are relatively absent. This is not to

underestimate the importance of the struggles in specific locations and for specific

groups such slum dwellers in many of the cities. As we shall see in this report, the

condition of housing in rural areas is quite appalling and requirement exceeds that of

urban areas.

Going by several indicators, more than half the households in India i.e. covering more

than half the population want and need better housing. Families in poverty seize every

available opportunity to own a quality home. Indians take pride in their homes,

patching them up after they crumble every monsoon by scavenging bricks and

building their homes a wall at a time. The problem, however, is that a quality house is

getting further and further out of reach for the common man and woman with bricks,

mortar and labor costs up over fifty percent in many areas across India in recent years.

A severe lack of financing for the rural poor without land title makes quality housing

difficult to attain.

1.1 Rationale for research study on housing for the poor

There are currently no available studies documenting the status of housing for

different segments of the population such as those in rural an urban areas in a

comparative inter-state perspective. This is important because it is the state-level

government which is responsible for implementation of housing schemes and

programmes to the designated sections of the people. As mentioned above, there is a

need here to differentiate between rural and urban areas. But such a spatial approach

is not sufficient to get a more nuanced understanding of the more deprived sections.

As in the case of almost all human development and economic well-being indicators,

the two social groups who are at the bottom of the social and economic hierarchy are

those belonging to the Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Scheduled Castes (SC). It is

therefore quite important to focus on their housing condition in rural and urban areas

separately. The current study proposes to fill these gaps. It has two components; the

first one is a study focusing on the country as a whole including an inter-state

comparison and the other is a study focusing on Kerala that perhaps has a reasonably

successful experience in eliminating the extreme forms of housing deprivation and

securing decent housing and related amenities as part of its socio-economic

transformation as well as targeted state policies and schemes.

This first report deals with the housing condition in India.

3. Objectives of the research study

The specific objectives of the study are the following:

To understand the housing condition in India and prepare a national profile

based on selected but important aspects of housing between 2001 and 2011

supplemented by analysis of data from the NSS 2008-09 round on specific aspects;

To analyze the housing condition across Indian states and provide a

comparative profile on selected indicators;

Page 6: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

To analyze the housing condition in rural areas; and

To analyze the housing condition in terms of social groups by focusing on SCs

and STs and comparing their condition with that of ‘Others’ as a category.

4. Methodology

Given the nature and coverage of the area of enquiry, this report is based on an

analysis of dta collected in two population censuses i.e. 2001 and 2011 as well as the

NSS 65th

Round on Housing Condition in India. While the tables on housing released

by the Registrar of Census Operations provide useful information the unit level data

are not available to the public. Hence the analysis is based on the census tables.

However, the availability of unit level data of NSS rounds has made it possible for

researchers to work with such data and process it to suit their questions and

requirements. We have therefore used the NSS data as an additional source of

information to go beyond the information provided by the census data. Since the latest

NSS data relates to 2008-09 this is close to the time period of 2011 census.

4. Summary of main findings

Given the large number of indicators used in both population censuses as well as in the

NSS round, we had to make a selection of the indicators that would give us a rounded

picture of the housing situation. Additional information collected is given in the

Appendix to each chapter in the form of detailed tables. The findings are summarized

in the following order.

Between 2001 and 2011 there has been an impressive growth of nearly 32 per cent

in the number of housing units – i.e. building units used as residence - in the country.

However the growth in urban areas at 52 per cent is far in excess of the growth in rural

areas at 24 per cent.

In terms of quality of housing based on ‘good’, ‘livable’ and ‘dilapidated’ housing,

the inequality between rural and urban areas has widened to the disadvantage of the

latter. While 68 per cent of urban housing is classified as ‘good’ the proportion in

rural areas in 2011 was only 46 per cent. In rural areas 6.5 per cent were found to be

in a ‘dilapidated’ condition while that proportion in urban areas was 2.9 per cent.

For finding out the quality of housing among the SC and ST segments viz-a-viz

Others, findings from the NSS 2008-09 survey revealed that the SC segment had the

highest share of ‘bad’ housing at 22 per cent followed by ST at 19 and others at 13 per

cent. In rural areas these were 24, 20 and 16 per cent respectively.

Availability of adequate space within a housing unit is perhaps crucial to judge the

housing condition. Going by this standard, the 2011 census revealed that 37 per cent of

Page 7: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

all households in the country lived in just one-room housing units. Here it is important

to note the definition adopted by the census authorities. The definition was:

“A dwelling room would include living room, bedroom, dining room,

drawing room, study room, servant's room and other habitable rooms

provided they satisfy the criterion of their dimensions. Do not include

kitchen, bathroom, latrine, store room, passageway and veranda which are

not normally usable for living. A room, used for multipurpose such as

sleeping, sitting, dining, storing, cooking, etc., should be regarded as a

dwelling room.”

To this we should add another 32 per cent housing units which had only two-rooms.

This worked out to 69 per cent. We may recall here that the proportion of population

who did not have more than two PPP$ (in equivalent Indian Rupees for consumption

expenditure) was reported as 69 per cent earlier (see Kannan 2014:xx). This does not

mean that they all had a separate kitchen. Most of them did not have a separate

kitchen (see 4. 6)

According to the NSS, a room was defined as the above but with some minor

difference. This definition was:

A room with floor area (carpet area) of at least 4 square metres, a height of

at least 2 metres from the floor to the highest point in the ceiling and used

for living purposes was considered as a living room. Thus, rooms used as

bedroom, sitting room, prayer room, dining room, servant’s room - all

were considered as living rooms provided they satisfied the size criterion.

Kitchen, bathroom, latrine, store, garage etc. were not living rooms. A

room which was used in common for living purpose and as kitchen or

store was also considered as living room.

As per the NSS, 38 per cent of the households lived in with one room while another 36

per cent lived with just two rooms thus totalling 74 per cent i.e. 5 percentage points

higher than the census findings of 2011.

From a social group point of view, analysis of NSS data revealed that 49 per cent of

SC households lived in one-room housing units in 2008-09 where this proportion was

42 for ST and 35 for Others. Rural-urban difference in this respect was not pronounced

except that the proportion with one-room housing was a little higher in urban areas for

all groups.

Very few people would think of a house without a kitchen because it is so central to

the existence of the family. But that seems to be a luxury for a significant share of

Indian households. Half the households, as per the NSS, reported that they had no

separate kitchen. This means that a majority of those with one or two rooms totaling

Page 8: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

74 per cent in 2008-09 had no separate kitchen. Contrary to what one would expect

rural area seems to be more deprived on this indicator than urban area. 55 per cent of

housing units reported no kitchen in rural India while this was 37 per cent in urban

India.

The social profile of not having a separate kitchen has disproportionately been on

the SC and ST communities. While 64 per cent of SC households did not have a

separate kitchen, the proportion was 60 for the ST and 44 for Others.

Of all the indicators, the one that impinges on human dignity is perhaps the

availability of a toilet. The state of affairs on this count is perhaps one of the most

shameful statistics on the condition of living. The 2001 reported that 64 per cent of

the households report no toilet facility but that share came down to 54 per cent in

2011, still quite high by any standard. In rural India the share came down from 78 to

69 per cent. The NSS also reported a similar picture but somewhat lower for 2008-09;

49 per cent reporting no latrine facility with 65 and 11 per cent in rural and urban areas

respectively.

The social group profile revealed, as per NSS, that the most deprived in this respect

are the ST segment with 69 per cent reporting no latrine facility followed by SC at 65

and Others at 42 per cent. Of course the rural situation was quite bad with an overall

deprivation of 65 per cent without any latrine facility as against 11 in urban areas.

Here the situation was worst for SC households with 76 per cent reporting no latrine

facility and 75 for ST and 60 per cent for Others.

Electrification of households as a source of lighting is something that had been

accorded a high priority in government development programmes. The census of 2011

however reported that only two-thirds of the households – 67 per cent – reported

electricity as a source of lighting with only 55 per cent in rural areas and 93 per cent in

urban areas. However, the NSS round of 2008-09 reported a higher percentage of 75

per cent overall with 66 per cent for rural and 96 per cent for urban areas.

As in other indicators, the most deprived in this respect are the SC and ST

households. While 61 per cent of ST households reported as having electricity for

domestic use, 66 per cent of SC reported the same. It was 79 per cent for Others.

Here again rural areas lag behind urban areas with 57 per cent for ST, 60 and 70 per

cent for SC and Others.

An inter-state comparison of the housing situation reveals a scenario that are not

surprising going by the overall human development indicators of various states. At the

top are five states – Delhi, Kerala, Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh – that have

achieved reasonable levels of housing conditions. At the bottom are the states that are

at the lower end of human development indicators as well as overall economic

Page 9: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

performance such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand

and Odisha. The remaining 19 states occupy a position between these two groups. In

general the smaller states have performed reasonably well although not as good as

those at the top level.

According to the NSS Round 2008-09, there were only three states, among the

larger states, where a majority of the households lived in housing units with more than

two rooms i.e. three rooms and above. These are Kerala (72 per cent), Jammu and

Kashmir (64 per cent) and Assam (51 per cent). All the other larger states, the

majority lived in housing units with either one or two rooms. At the bottom were

Andhra Pradesh (currently Andhra Pradesh and Telangana) (12 per cent), Tamil Nadu

(14 per cent), Maharashtra (14 per cent), West Bengal (15 per cent), Odisha (16 per

cent), Gujarat (18 per cent) and Delhi (21 per cent). This should come as a surprise as

these states, with the exception of Odisha, with very little space within the residence

are those with high per capita income, relatively high levels industrialization as well as

urbanization. High growth and high industrialization do not seem to have translated

into decent housing conditions for the overwhelming majority of the residents going

by the amount of space.

If the above seven states were the bottom seven states in terms of paucity of housing

space, a majority of houses (i.e. more than 50 per cent) in the states of Jharkhand,

Odisha, Bihar, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh did not

have a latrine facility.

Similarly, a majority of households in the states of West

Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, Assam and Uttar Pradesh did not have electricity

connection for lighting.

In sum, the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan,

Uttar Pradesh and Odisha emerges as the worst performers in terms of several

indicators of the housing condition.

By focusing on the rural areas (in Chapter 4), we get an idea of the rural-urban gap.

The overall picture is that rural India considerably lags behind urban India in terms of

both quality of housing as well as amenities that are basic to a decent and dignified

living.

There is also considerable variation of the housing condition in rural India across

states. Those states that lag behind are also the states mentioned in 4.14 with overall

poor performance. To this should be added the states of Assam and West Bengal

where the rural-urban differences seems to be quite significant with a larger gap for

rural areas than many other states.

Page 10: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

Going by the NSS classification of ‘good’ housing, only two states from the larger

states category reported either half or a majority living in ‘good’ houses. These are

Delhi (52.5 per cent) and Kerala (49.8 per cent) closely followed by undivided Andhra

Pradesh Punjab (49.4 per cent) and Punjab (49.1 per cent). At the bottom were the

two states of Jharkhand (7.2. per cent) and Bihar (18.4 per cent).

While the definition of ‘good’ refers to housing units that do not require repairs,

there is another classification based on the type of materials. Thus NSS defines

‘pucca’ houses as those made of durable materials. Going by this definition two larger

states – Delhi (98.2 per cent), Uttarakhand (92.7 per cent) and Punjab (90.4 per cent) –

reported that 90 per cent or more houses in the rural areas in the pucca category.

Undivided Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Himachal Pradesh reported between 70 and 79

per cent. At the bottom were Assam (20.6 per cent), Chattisgarh (30 per cent), Odisha

(32.8 per cent), Jharkhand (34.2 per cent) and West Bengal (36.3 per cent).

If we go by space considerations by defining it as those who have to live with one

living room only, the best performing states in rural India are Kerala (7.4 per cent),

Assam (8.0 per cent), Jammu and Kashmir (10.8 per cent) where only less than 11 per

cent of the households had to live in such houses closely followed by rural Himachal

Pradesh (21.4 per cent). But at the bottom level are those mostly belonging to

relatively more industrialised, urbanized and high income states such as undivided

Andhra Pradesh (51.1 per cent), Maharashtra, West Bengal and Gujarat (around 47-48

per cent). It would appear that states such as Assam and Jharkhand which come low

on pucca housing and other amenities have somewhat more space – two rooms and

above – for the overwhelming majority in their rural areas.

Another critical indicator that we would like to highlight is the availability of a

separate kitchen. Rural India presents a sorry picture on this count too. A majority of

states that are a mix of both poorer and not so poor/better off states show that a

majority of the households in their rural areas do not have a separate kitchen. These

range from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Assam (exceeding 70 per cent) to Chattisgarh,

Bihar, Odisha and Gujarat (ranging from 52 to 59 per cent).

As we mentioned earlier, availability of latrine facility is something that directly

impinges on the dignity of an individual. In this respect too, rural India presents

distressing picture with most states reporting ‘no latrine facility’ for majority of

households. Only rural Kerala (5.3 per cent) and rural Delhi (7.5 per cent) report the

lowest percentage with no latrine facility. At the bottom are Odisha (88 per cent)

Madhya Pradesh 85 per cent), Jharkhand 84 per cent) Chattisgarh and Rajasthan (82

per cent), Bihar and UP (79 per cent) and Karnataka (75 per cent).

All in all, the basic deprivation in terms of housing condition is well above the

deprivation indicated by the poverty line estimates and close to the idea of poor and

vulnerable households with less than two PP dollars per capita per day. If we widen

Page 11: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

the housing deprivation to a larger set of indicators, then the deprivation is closer to

the notion of multidimensional deprivation reported by the Human Development

Reports of the UNDP.

In the following chapters we give a detailed analysis of the housing situation. In

Chapter 2 the focus is on the all India scenario decomposed into rural and urban areas

as well as by the broad three social groups viz., ST, SC and Others. In Chapter 3 we

focus on an inter-state comparison of the housing condition. While doing so we have

categorized the states into (a) Larger States, and (b) Smaller States. The larger states

are those where the population is more than half-a-per cent of the all India total

population whereas the smaller states represent those with less than half-a-per cent of

the total population. It also includes the Union Territories. Our interpretation of

results are mostly based on the results obtained for the larger states which account for

xx per cent of the total population of the country in 2011. However, the results for all

states and Union Territories are given in the tables given in the Appendix to each

chapter given at the end of this report.

Chapter 2

Housing Condition in India

An Overview

Introduction

In this chapter we discuss the various aspects of housing at the national level. Our

analysis is based on the data provided by two most credible agencies namely, the

Census and the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO). The two most recent

data sets provided by these two agencies are the Population Census Reports released

by the Registrar General of Census and the 65th

round of NSSO’s comprehensive

survey on housing condition and amenities (June 2008-July 2009). The latest census

data pertain to 2011 while the NSS data relate to the situation in 2008-09. They can

therefore be treated as data for the recent period of 2009-11.

Census provides information based on complete enumeration of all households

unlike the sample survey of buildings and housing units by the NSS. But the advantage

of NSS is that while the population census provides us with processed data as tables,

NSSO provides unit level data which enable us to process and carry out analyses than

is possible with census data. NSSO’s comprehensive survey also provides us with

details on housing condition and amenities some of which are not available in the

population census.

In the first section in this chapter, we discuss housing characteristics such as the

condition and type of structure of the houses, number of rooms in the house/dwelling

unit, ventilation, type of kitchen, type of roof, wall and floor of the dwelling which are

indicators of the quality of dwelling.

In the second section we discuss basic amenities within the dwelling such as

drinking water, sanitation facilities such as bathing and toilet, type of lighting and

cooking fuel.

Finally the third section presents the discussion on households’ access to basic

facilities outside the dwelling such as drainage and garbage collection arrangements

and accessibility to road.

For each aspect of the housing situation, we first examine the all India scenario,

followed by rural and urban areas separately. We have also examined the social

dimension in relation to the condition of those belonging to the Scheduled Tribe (ST)

and Scheduled caste (SC) categories. We define a third group ‘Others’ as the residual

households obtained by deducting ST and SC households from total households. By

comparing the housing condition in 2001 and 2011 Censuses, we have also been able

to measure the improvements in the selected indicators for rural and urban areas.

Coverage of Houses, and their Various Uses

The 2011 Census covered 330.836 million housing (i.e. building) units which was

31.24 percent (73 million) more housing units than the previous Census of 2001. Of

the total, 306.163 million units were occupied for various purposes. These are shown

in Table 2.1. We can see that around 80 percent of the census houses were used as

residence including 2.8 percent which were used for residence cum other uses.

Table 2.1: Various uses of Occupied Census houses, 2011

While there was a 52 percent growth in the occupied census houses used as

residence in urban areas, it was only 24 percent in rural areas (see Table 2.2). We can

also see that the rate of growth in all categories of census houses in urban areas was

considerably higher compared to rural areas. The most notable of these were ‘other

non-residential use’ and ‘hospital/dispensary/etc.

What the overall growth of 31 percent suggests is the boom in construction

industry that is heavily, if not only, concentrated in urban areas during the first decade

of the twenty-first century.

Section 1

Indicators of Housing Condition

In this section we discuss those aspects of housing which are indicators of the housing

condition some of which also measure the quality of the dwellings of households. We

first look at the condition of the structure of houses.

Condition of structure of houses

Condition of structure means the physical condition of the structure of the house. Both

the Census and NSSO classifies the condition of households by means of a three-fold

classification. While it is ‘good’, ‘livable’, and ‘dilapidated’ in the Census, it is ‘good’,

‘satisfactory’ and ‘bad’ in NSSO. But both give similar definition to the categories

(See Appendix to this chapter). The condition of the house was considered to be

‘good’ if the structure did not require any immediate repairs, ‘satisfactory’ if the

structure required immediate repairs but no major repairs and ‘bad’ if the structure

required immediate major repairs. We first present our analysis based on the Census

data.

Figure 1 shows that at the all India level majority of households (53%) lived in

houses/dwellings which were ‘good’ in condition. While 42 percent households lived

in ‘livable’ houses, 5 percent of households i.e., around 13 million households lived in

‘dilapidated’ houses.

Figures 2 and 3 show that the proportion of households living in ‘good’ condition

houses in rural areas (46%) is below the all-India proportion (53%), and far below the

proportion in urban areas (64%). Also, in rural areas, more households live in

“dilapidated” condition houses (6.5%) compared to the national level (5.4%), and

especially the urban level (3.6%). Most rural households appear to live in ‘livable’

houses, which hopefully, over time, will change towards ‘good’, just as in the all-India

and Urban cases.

Let us note some changes over 2001 and 2011. During 2011, 53 percent of the

total households lived in “good” condition houses, which shows a 3 percentage point

increase than that of 2001. The proportion of households living in “livable” houses

was 42 percent which is a nearly 3 percentage point lower than 2001 Census. As far

as “dilapidated” houses go, it is to be noted that while the proportion of households

living in this was small (around 5%) during both 2011 and 2001, an alarming trend is

that there was a 25 percent growth in the absolute number of these houses in 2011

compared to 2001. The growth in the absolute number of households living in

“dilapidated” houses is less than that of “good” houses (36%), but outstrips that of

“livable” houses. Figure 4 illustrates the percentage point change in proportion of

good, livable, and dilapidated houses between 2001 and 2011.

As for changes over time i.e., between 2001 and 2011 we can see from

Table 2.3 that the picture was rather gloomy with a nearly 27 percent growth in

“dilapidated” houses in rural areas, as against only a 25 percent growth in

“good” and 18 percent growth in “livable”. The urban scene was brighter, with

a high growth of 57 percent in households living in “good” houses, and a 31

and 18 percent growth in “livable” and “dilapidated” houses respectively.

rather conservative picture when it comes to the condition of the housing

structure.

were “satisfactory” in condition while 15 percent of households lived in houses which

were ‘bad’ in condition.

When we compare households in rural and urban areas, majority of households

in rural India (50.8%) lived in houses which were “satisfactory” in condition whereas

majority of the urban households (54.2%) lived in “good” houses. Proportion of rural

households living in “good” houses (31%) was considerably lower than urban

households (54.2%). Also, rural area had higher proportion of households living in bad

houses (18.2%) than urban areas (8.4%).

Among the different social groups, SC had the highest proportion (22.2%) of

households living in bad condition, at the all India level. For each social group, the

proportion of households living in “good” houses was considerably higher in urban

areas than in rural areas. Similarly the proportion of households living in bad condition

was higher in rural areas. While the proportion of households belonging to SC and ST

had lower proportion of households living in good and satisfactory houses than the all

India level, ‘Others’ had higher proportion of households living in ‘good’ and

‘satisfactory’ houses than the all India level in both rural and urban areas.

The picture emerging from Table 2.4 shows that as a social group the condition

of the structure of dwelling of SC and ST households is worse in comparison to

‘Other’ social groups. On the whole it looks like STs are marginally better than SCs,

since the former live in isolated areas, have access to traditional land, whereas the

latter, being an asset-less or asset-poor category, has very little access to land as well

as housing.

Type of Structure of the Houses

Since the classification of households on the basis of the condition of structure is

subjective, a more appropriate and objective indicator is the type of structure of the

houses. NSSO classifies structure of houses as ‘pucca’, ‘semi-pucca’ and ‘katcha’ (see

Appendix to the chapter for definition). By their constructional characteristics ‘pucca’

houses were considered better than ‘semi- pucca’ houses, which are again better than

‘katcha’ houses.

Page 18: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

Table 2.5 shows that major proportion of households at the all India level

(66.1%) lived in ‘pucca’ houses, followed by 21 per cent in ‘semi- pucca’ houses and

13 per cent in katcha houses. However there was a stark difference between rural and

urban areas. While 91.6 percent of urban households lived in ‘pucca’ houses only 55.4

percent of rural households lived in ‘pucca’ houses.

In the case of social groups there existed wide disparities not only between

social groups but also within social groups in urban and rural areas. While ‘Others’

had the highest proportion of households (71.8%) living in ‘pucca’ houses the ST

group had the lowest proportion of households (39.4%) living in ‘pucca’ houses.SC

had highest proportion of houses (18.7%) living in ‘katcha’ houses closely followed

by ST households (16.4%). Urban areas had higher proportion of ‘pucca’ houses than

rural areas across social groups.

Number of Dwelling Rooms

In order to understand the quality of housing, the number of rooms in the dwelling is

very important as an indicator of the level of congestion in the house. First let us look

into the data provided by the Census. It can be seen from Figure 4 that both one-room

and two-room housing units formed the majority during the census years, for all

categories of household size.

While there is a 2 percentage point increase in two-room dwellings over

2001-11, there is a 1 percentage point decrease in the more than six room

dwellings during the same period.

Classifying the households by number of dwelling rooms and

household size, it can be seen that while around 60 percent of the households

with one member families live in one room dwellings in 2001, there is a 2

percentage point fall in this category during 2011. But one important aspect to

be noted is that around 33 percent of both five and six-eight member

Page 19: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

households also live in two room dwellings, and there is a 1 percent point increase in

the six-eight member households living in just two-room dwellings, even in 2011.

Strangely, 25 percent of the households with >9 members live in houses with just two

rooms, with a 1 percent point increase in this category over 2001-11.

NSSO uses the term ‘living room’ instead of ‘dwelling room’ used by Census.

There is close correspondence between the definitions of two terms. NSSO defines

‘living room’ as a room with a floor area of at least 4 square metres, a height of at least

2 metres from the floor to the highest point in the ceiling and used for living purposes.

A room which was used in common for living purposes and as kitchen or store was

also considered as living room.

Comparison of Figure 5 and Table 2.6 shows a close correspondence between

the data provided by Census and NSSO. From Table 2.6 we can see that highest

proportion of households (38.3%) in the country had only one living room. Only 28

percent of households have three or more rooms while 35.6per cent households had

two living rooms.

Compared to rural areas where 37.6 percent of households lived in houses with

single living room, urban India has a higher proportion of households (40.4%) with

only one living room. The proportion of households with dwellings which did not

satisfy the specification for living room was also higher in urban area (2.2%).

Among the social groups, SC households had the highest proportion of

households with single living room (48.6%), followed by ST households (42%). This

was true in the case of both rural and urban areas.

It is a matter of concern that 1.2 percent of households in the country live in

dwelling with no exclusive room which seems to suggest that their living space does

not meet the definition of a floor area of at least 4 square metres and a height of at

least 2 metres from the floor to the highest point in the ceiling. In this respect urban

areas were worse than rural areas. While only 0.8 percent of rural households lived in

houses with no exclusive room it was 2.25 in urban India. This suggests absolute lack

of housing and dependent on living in small make-shift places or in public spaces,

verandas of buildings and often sleeping in streets.

Ventilation of houses

Let us now examine ventilation of housing units that is an important indicator of the

quality of housing and living.

From Table 2.7 we can see that only 29.7 percent of households in India had

good ventilation. Nearly half the households in the country lived in houses with

satisfactory ventilation while 23.4 percent of households lived in houses with bad

ventilation.

The difference in the proportion of households with good ventilation in rural

and urban areas was starker. In rural India only 23.3 percent households lived in

houses with good ventilation whereas in urban area it is 44.7 percent. While 26.8

percent of rural households lived in houses with bad ventilation, it was only 15.1

percent in urban areas.

Among the social groups, SC households had the worst ventilation in both rural

and urban India. Within the social groups also there existed rural-urban disparities. In

urban areas, the difference in the proportion of houses having good ventilation

between ST and SC households was more pronounced. While 42.6 percent ST

households in urban India have good ventilation, only 30.9 percent of SC households

have good ventilation. Similarly SC households have a higher proportion (25.4%) of

households living in houses with bad ventilation while it is 17.6 percent for ST

households.

Cooking in houses with bad ventilation is a health hazard. The fact that 23

percent households had bad ventilation is matter of great concern as it has direct

relation with health condition of the dwellers.

Kitchen type

NSSO provides information on the type of kitchen in the households which is also an

important indicator of the quality of housing.

Table 2.8 shows that only 12.4 percent of households in the country had a

separate kitchen with water tap. While 38.2 percent households had a separate kitchen

without water tap, almost half the households (49.6%) in the country did not have a

separate kitchen.

The proportion of households in rural areas without a separate kitchen was

above the all India level (54.7%) while for urban India it was 37.3 percent. Rural-

urban disparity was more pronounced in the case of separate kitchen with water tap.

While only 4 percent of rural households had separate kitchen with water tap, 32

percent of urban households had separate kitchen with water tap.

Across the social groups, ‘Others’ (16%) had higher proportion of households

with separate kitchen and with water taps. For ST and SC it was just 4 percent and 5

percent of households respectively. In rural India 66 percent of SC households did not

have separate kitchen while 60.8 percent of rural ST households had no separate

kitchen.

Predominant Material for Roofing

Distribution of households by predominant roof material based on Census data reveals

that while tiles remained as the predominant material in 2001 (32.5%), this has moved

to concrete (29 %) during 2011. Also, the proportion of houses with

grass/thatch/bamboo wall has declined (see Table 2.9).

There has been an 89 percent growth in households reporting concrete and 76

percent growth in G.I/Metal/Asbestos category. In rural areas, while tiles remained as

the major category of roof (29%) in 2011, a sweeping shift can be seen by a more-

than-double growth in concrete and plastic/polythene, seconded by a 20 percent fall in

the use of tiles over the years. In urban areas however, concrete remained as the

predominant material of roof, with a huge 80 percent increase over the years.

Our analysis of NSSO data of 2008-09 on the type of materials used for roof

corresponds to that of Census data.

Classification of households by the type of material used for the construction

of roofs of their houses shows that highest proportion of households (35.1%) lived in

houses with cement/RBC/RCC roof. Tiles or slate was the predominant material of

roof for 20.9 percent of households while 14.2 percent households lived in houses with

iron or other metal sheet as the predominant material of roof.

Page 24: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

In rural India only 24.7 percent of households lived in houses with

cement/RBC/RCC roof whereas in urban areas it is was high as 60 percent of the

households. In rural India timber was the second most predominant (24.5%) material

of roof (see Table 2.11).

Analysis across broad social groups reveal the predominance of concrete as the

roofing material among ‘Others’ in urban areas (close to 69 per cent) followed by ST

(49%) and then SC (45%). In rural India tile and concrete constitute half of all

housing roofs in which the share of concrete among ‘Others’ was about 28 per cent.

Predominant Wall Material

The distribution of households living in census houses by predominant material of

wall in 2011 shows burnt brick as the predominant material, followed by mud/unburnt

brick (see Table 2.12).

While in rural areas in 2001, mud/unburnt brick formed the major category of

wall, by 2011 burnt brick category has become prominent. In urban areas, again, burnt

brick remains as the predominant material of wall in both periods.

In the case of predominant material of walls also our finding based on NSSO

data closely corresponds to Census data. From Table 13 we can see that predominant

material of wall in the country is burnt brick/stone/lime stone (59% of households had

their walls made of burnt brick or stone or lime stone). Next in line is mud or unburnt

brick (23% households) followed by cement/RBC/RCC (10%).

In rural areas 53.3 percent households had their walls made of burnt

brick/stone/lime stone while in urban areas 73 percent of households lived in houses

with walls made of burnt brick/stone/lime stone.

Among the different social groups major proportion of ST households in rural

India (51.3%) lived in houses with walls made of mud/unburnt brick. For SC and other

households burnt brick or stone or lime stone was the predominant material of wall.

It is difficult to provide a value judgment as to what type of wall is to be

considered a better material from the point of view of health and environmental

compatibility. In a tropical country like India mud/unburnt brick is much favourable to

climate compared to cement which absorbs more heat. But since cement is used by

rich and for institutional building it has acquired a superior status in popular

Page 27: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

perception. Often mud or unburnt brick is used by the poor as they cannot afford the

more costly burnt brick or granite.

Predominant Floor Material

From Census data we can see that while mud remains the predominant material of

floor during both census periods, there is a greater than 10 percentage point fall in this

category during 2011. In rural areas, while mud and cement form the major material of

floor, in urban areas it is cement and mosaic/floor-tiles that form the majority (see

Table 2.14).

And just as in the all-India case, in rural areas we see that the proportion of

mud as a prominent material of wall has dropped around 10 percentage points in 2011,

and cement and mosaic/floor tiles have increased as a category (Figure 6).

In the case of the predominant material used by households for floor also our

findings based on NSSO data corresponds to Census data. Table 2.15 shows that major

proportion of households in the country (40.4%) lived in houses with mud floors.

While 37 percent households had cement floors, 11percent households had brick/lime

stone/stone floors and 10 percent of households had mosaic/tiles as the material of

floor.

Comparison of rural and urban areas shows that while 54 percent of

households lived in houses with mud floors in rural areas only 8 percent of households

in urban India had mud floors. While majority of households in urban India (53%) had

cement floors, only 31 percent households in rural India had cement floor.

Among the social groups, ST had the highest proportion of households (65.7%)

with mud floors while 33.7 percent of other households lived in houses with mud

floors. Only 21 percent of ST households in the country had mud floors while 40.9

percent of other households lived in houses with cement floor. In the rural areas while

71.6 percent of ST households and 63.2 percent of SC households had mud floors,

48.3 percent of other households had mud floors.

Section 2

Basic Amenities within Dwelling

The different characteristics of the structure of the dwelling, examined in earlier

paragraphs, though important are only one element of the housing condition. Without

amenities like drinking water facility, sanitation, electricity and other basic amenities

in a household cannot function as a useful one. In this section we discuss basic

amenities within the dwelling.

Drinking Water

This is one of the most important aspects of housing. We can see from our analysis of

Census data that tap water, hand pump and well are generally the three major sources

among households. While nearly 37 percent of households depended on tap-water in

2001, this proportion increased to nearly 44 percent in 2011. Second was hand pump,

with nearly 34 percent of households depending on this during 2011, almost the same

as in 2001. But dependence on wells has fallen from 18 percent in 2001 to 11 percent

in 2011 at an all-India level (see Appendix Table). The fall in the dependence on hand

pump and well can be attributed to tap water; conversely, it can be proposed that

dependence on tap water has increased as more traditional sources such as a well have

decreased.

NSSO also provides data on these as well as few other sources of drinking

water the results of which are presented in Table 2.16.

Classification of households on the basis of their first major source of drinking

water i.e., the source of drinking water which was used most by the household shows

that households in the country depend on two major sources namely tap water and tube

well/hand pump. While 43.6 percent households had tube well/hand pump as the first

major source of drinking water 43 percent of households had tap water as their major

source of drinking water. The third major source of drinking water was well- both

protected and unprotected.

In the rural areas 54.7 percent of households depended on tube well/ hand

pump while 30 percent of households had tap water as their first major source. Almost

12 percent of rural households depended on well as their major source of drinking

water. In urban areas 74 percent households had tap water as their major source of

drinking water and 17.5 percent households depended on tube well/hand pump.

Among the social groups, ST and SC households depended on tube well/ hand

pump as the main source of drinking water (52% and 51% respectively) while for

‘Others’ tap was the major source of drinking water with 47 percent of households

depending on tap water as their first major source. In the rural areas across social

groups’ tube well/hand pump is the major source of drinking water. In rural India ST

had the lowest proportion of households (18.6%) with tap water as the major source

while SC and others had almost same proportion (30%) of households depending on

tap water.

Nature of access to source of drinking water

An examination of the access to drinking water shows that a major proportion

of households in the country (46.7%) depended on community use i.e. for use of

households in the locality. 35.7 percent of households in the country had their source

Page 31: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

of drinking water for the exclusive use of households. The details are given in Table

2.17.

In urban area 47 percent of households had their drinking water source for

exclusive use of the households while in rural India 57 percent reported community

use of water source was more common.

Among the social groups majority of ST (72.7%) and SC (61.5%) households

depended on drinking water facility common for the use of households in the

locality/community. In the case of others 42 percent of households had drinking water

facility for exclusive use of the households. Only 15.7 percent ST and 23.3 percent of

SC households had drinking water facility for exclusive use of the households.

In rural areas though community drinking water facility was predominant

across all social groups, ST (77.3%) and SC (68%) households had higher proportion

of households compared to other households (49.6%) depending on community

drinking water facility. Other households had the highest proportion of households

with drinking water facility for exclusive use of households (37.6%) and ST

households had the lowest proportion (13.5%).

While in urban areas major proportion of households belonging to ‘Others’

(50.2%) and ST (33.5%) had drinking water facility for exclusive use of the

household, majority of SC households (37.9%) depended on community facility.

Distance to the source of drinking water

The Census data on drinking water provide not only the major sources but also the

distance at which it is available. And the distance is assessing at three levels – within

the premises, near the premises and away from the premises. A close look at these

distance indicators gives certain interesting insights. While tap water remains the

Page 32: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

major source of drinking water within the premises, hand pumps remain the

predominant source both near the premises and away.

Figure 7a: Households by Main Source of Drinking Water (Total, incl: Rural +

Urban)

The rural-urban divide is rather extreme. In rural areas while the hand pump

is the major source of drinking water, while tap water and wells are secondary

sources, in urban areas the major source at all locations is the tap, i.e. public piped

water supply.

In rural areas, the proportions of households having a hand pump facility away

from the premises have increased from 35 percent to 44 percent, from 2001 to 2011.

Another notable change is the fall in the proportion of households depending on the

well as a source of drinking water from 22 percent to 13 percent over this period.

During the 2011 census, an extra classification under tap water, i.e., tap water

from treated and untreated sources has been added to measure the quality of drinking

water. While the proportion of households using tap water from treated sources is

nearly 32 percent, it is 61 percent in urban areas and only 18 percent in rural areas (see

Appendix Table).

NSSO also provides data for the distance to households’ major source of

drinking water but not in as much detail as the Census. The findings are given in Table

2.18.

Classification of households by their distance to the source of drinking water

shows that major proportion of households in the country had their source of drinking

water within a distance of 200 metres from their dwelling. While 24.7 percent of

households in the country had their source of drinking water within dwelling, 26

percent households had drinking water source within the premises and 7 percent

households had their drinking water source at a distance of 0.2-05 km.

When we compare rural and urban areas majority of urban households (46.2%)

had drinking water source within dwellings while in rural areas it was only 15.6

percent of households. Major proportion of rural households (48.1%) had drinking

water source within a distance of 200m from their dwellings.

Majority of households across social groups had their drinking water facility

within 200m of dwelling. ‘Others’ had highest proportion of households (29.6%) with

drinking water facility within dwelling while ST had the lowest proportion (6.9%),

followed by SC households (15%).

Both in rural and urban areas social group ‘others’ had the highest proportion

of households with drinking water source within dwelling.

Adequacy of drinking water

Information was collected on whether availability of drinking water was sufficient

throughout the year from the first major source of drinking water. Table 2.19 shows

that 87.6% of households in the country had sufficient drinking water from their first

major source.

Adequacy of drinking water in urban areas at 91 percent was higher than the all

India level while in the rural areas it was lower than the national level at 86 percent.

percent did not get sufficient drinking water from first source while in rural areas 24

percent households did not have sufficient drinking water throughout the year.

Availability of Bathing Facility

Our analysis of Census data shows that the proportion of households having a bathing

facility has increased considerably during the decade 2001 to 2011. It can be seen that

at an all-India level while the proportion of households having no bathrooms were a

huge 64 percent in 2001, this has been greatly reduced to 41 percent in 2011. The fall

has been the greatest in rural areas where households having no bathroom facilities

stand at 55 percent in 2011, when they were around 77 percent in 2001. In urban areas

also, this fall has been significant, from nearly 30 percent to around 13 percent.

However, it must be noted that the proportion of households having

bathing facility alone is more compared to households having a latrine facility.

NSSO in addition to providing information on the availability of bathroom also

gives information on whether bathroom is attached or detached. The details are given

in Table 20.

From the Table 2.18 we can see that at the all India level nearly 52 percent of

households had no facility of bathroom. Only 23% of households had attached

bathrooms. In rural areas while 65 percent of households had no bathroom facility

only 22 percent of households in urban areas were without bathroom facility.

Among the social groups ST households had the highest proportion of

households (69.2%) without bathroom facility closely followed by SC households

(68.6%). Only ‘Other’ households had lower proportion of households(44.7%) without

bathroom facility than that for all India.

Both in rural and urban areas SC households had the highest proportion of

households (77% in rural areas and 37% in urban areas) without bathroom facility.

Availability of Latrine Facility

According to Census 2001, nearly 64 percent of households did not have access to

latrine facility within their premises, but this proportion has reduced by nearly 10

percentage point, to 53 percent, by 2011. There has been data collected separately for

households having a “latrine facility within the premises”, which is around 47 percent.

The proportion of households having a water closet has nearly doubled.

As for rural-urban difference it can be seen that in rural areas while 78 percent

of households did not have a latrine facility in 2001, this figure is now 69 percent. The

corresponding decrease in urban areas is from 28 percent to 18 percent.

Figure 10: Percentage point change in bathroom facility, 2001-2011

Note: All figures are in percentage

The situation with regard to the type of latrine shows that the proportion of

water closet, compared to pit latrine or other latrine, was much higher. Interestingly, in

rural areas pit latrines were the prominent type during 2001 (with 10.3% of households

using one), but this has now been taken over by the water closet, the proportion of

which has more than doubled in rural areas. In urban areas, where the proportion of the

water closets is nearly 73%, this has been a doubling since 2001.

Thus one thing which is to be noted in this context is that, though the

proportion of households that do not have access to latrine facility is still very high in

both rural and urban areas, for those who do have latrine facilities, the quality of

facility has improved during the decade 2001 to 2011.

To understand the access to latrine facility across social groups we have used

the data provided by NSSO.

Classification of households by their access to latrine facility shows that nearly

half the households in the country (49.3%) had no latrine facility in 2008-09. Only

36.8 percent of households in the country had latrine for exclusive use of households.

While only 11.3 percent of households in urban area had no latrine facility 65.2% of

rural households had no latrine facility (see Table 2.21).

Among social groups ST households had the highest proportion of households

(69.2%) with no latrine facility, followed by ST households (65.1%). Comparison of

rural and urban areas shows that there is huge disparity within and between social

groups. While 59.8% ‘other’ households in rural area had no latrine facility, in urban

areas only 8.9% of ‘other’ households had no access to latrine facility.

Lighting

Our analysis of Census data shows that electricity remains the major source of

lighting, with a proportion of 67 percent of total census households in India in 2011,

which is a 11.4 percentage point increase from 2001. After electricity, kerosene is the

most important source of lighting. While the proportion of kerosene as a source of

lighting has decreased from 43 percent in 2001 to 31 percent in 2011 at an all-India

level, the growth in the number of households reporting electricity as the major source

of lighting has increased nearly by 55 percent. The use of kerosene has been nearly

replaced by the use of electricity (see Table 2.22).

If we look at the rural-urban divide it can be seen that in rural areas kerosene

was the major source of lighting in 2001 with nearly 55 percent of the household

depending on it and electricity only second. During 2011 this trend has swapped. In

urban areas nearly 93 percent of the households depend on electricity as the major

source of lighting, an improvement from 87 percent in 2001. The rural-urban divide,

however, is still stark.

Though the proportion of solar energy as a source of lighting among

households is very small, the growth in the use of this has doubled over the years,

which is, very interestingly, greater among rural than in urban households.

But it is startling to note that the proportion of households not having any

source of lighting at all, though meagre, has actually increased over the years, even

doubling in rural areas (from 0.3% to 0.5%) during 2011 compared to 2001. This fact

is unpleasant especially when we understand that the number of houses with no

lighting at all has very drastically increased in both rural and urban areas (from 4.26

lakhs to nearly 9 lakhs in rural areas; from 1.88 lakhs to 2.66 lakhs in urban areas)!

Figure 11: Percentage point change in source of lighting, 2001-2011

Note:All figures are in percentage

NSSO, unlike Census, provides information only on the availability of

electricity for domestic use of the households.

The situation as presented in Table 2.23 shows huge disparity between rural

and urban areas. While 96.2 percent of households in urban areas had electricity for

domestic use, only 65.8 percent of households in rural areas had electricity for

domestic use.

Among the social groups ST households had the highest proportion of

households (39%) without electricity, followed by SC households (33.6%) and the

proportion was lowest for ‘other’ households (20.9%). Data also shows disparity

between social groups in rural and urban areas. While 91.5 percent of ST households

in urban areas had electricity for domestic use only 61 percent of ST households in

rural area had electricity for domestic use. This is reflected in the case of ‘Other’ social

groups as well. While 97 percent of ‘Other’ households in urban areas had electricity

only 79 percent households in rural areas had electricity.

Cooking Fuel

The findings on the distribution of households by fuel used for cooking shown in

Table 2.24 indicate firewood as still the predominant source of fuel, with nearly 50

percent of households depending on this even in 2011 (despite a 4 percentage point

fall). Second is LPG/PNG (28.5%), though dependence on this source of fuel has

doubled over the years in India.

The rural-urban divide is very large. In rural areas, the major sources of

fuel are firewood, crop residue and the cow dung cake. Though the use of

LPG/PNG has increased dramatically in rural areas, the three above sources

still remain predominant.

In urban areas on the other hand, LPG/PNG remained as the major

source of fuel in 2011, nearly a 20 percent point increase than 2001. Here,

kerosene is the second most used source of fuel; but the interesting fact is that

over the years, while LPG/PNG has shown a nearly 20 percentage point

increase, kerosene shows a more than 10 percentage point decrease.

Section 3

Access to Basic Facilities outside the Dwelling

Access to basic facilities outside the dwelling like distance to the place of work,

garbage and drainage facilities, access to road, etc is also an important indicator of the

quality of life.

Access to road

The results from the NSS data (Table 2.25) show that for the country as a whole, only

27.6 percent of the households had direct opening to motorable road with street light.

Highest proportion of households in the country (32.7%) had access only to roads or

constructed path other than motorable road without street light. 14.1 percent of

households had no direct opening to roads or lanes or constructed path.

The difference in the accessibility to roads between urban and rural India is

more striking. While in rural India only 15.7 percent of the households had direct

opening to motorable road with street light, 56 percent of the urban households had

direct opening to motorable road with street light. Only 5.5 percent of the urban

households were without direct opening to road or constructed path compared to 17.7

percent households in rural India.

Among the different social groups also there existed disparities in their access

to roads. ST households were the worst in their road accessibility followed by the SC

households. Only 12.7 percent of ST households in the country had direct access to

motorable roads with street light while 23.3 percent of ST households did not have

direct opening to roads or constructed path. ‘Other’ households had the highest

proportion of households (31.4%) with direct opening to motorable road with street

light.

Within the social groups also there exists significant rural-urban disparity.

While 44.6 percent of SC households in urban areas had direct opening to motorable

road with street light, it was only 14.9 percent of households in rural India. Though

‘Other’ households enjoy better accessibility to roads compared to ST and SC

households, only 17.2 percent of ‘Other’ households in rural areas had access to

motorable road with street light compared to 58.3 percent in urban areas.

Garbage collection arrangement

Garbage collection arrangement is also an important indicator of the quality of life of

households. The information collected on this item relates to the agency that currently

collects the garbage. If there is no arrangement for garbage collection, that has also

been recorded. Table 26 gives the details.

Page 45: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

Majority of the households i.e., three-fifth of households in the country

(59.6%) did not have any formal mechanism for collection of garbage. In urban areas

public bodies- municipality/corporation collected garbage from majority of households

(62.0%). Participation of residents in the collection and disposal of garbage was lower

in urban areas (13.1%) compared to rural area (17.2%).

Among the social groups ‘Others’ had better access to formal garbage

collection facilities (24.4%) than SC (13.9%) and ST (6.4%) households. Urban areas

had better access to garbage collection arrangements than rural area With 64 percent of

households in ‘Others’ enjoying public collection while it was 554 and 47 per cent for

SC and ST respectively.

Rural+Urban

Availability of Drainage Facilities

This facility is also an important one from the point of sanitation and its link with the

health status of the people living in a locality. Table 27 shows that nearly 49 percent of

total households in India did not have any drainage facility in 2011, a figure that was

54 percent during 2001. Thus, the improvement has been very marginal. This has been

the case in both urban as well as rural areas with 63 percent and 18 percent

respectively during 2011, which is again only a marginal increase as compared to

2001.

As for drainage connectivity, we can see the prevalence of open-

drainage compared to closed. The proportion of open-drainage is more or less

the same (33%) during 2001 and 2011, with a slight reduction only in urban

areas. However, comparing rural to urban, we see a very significant gap in the

presence of closed drainage facility – while in urban areas this was 45 percent

in 2011, in rural areas this remains a very meagre 6 percent. The large gap is

seen even in the presence of no drainage facility.

Animal shed

Table 2.21 shows that 63.8 percent of households had no animal shed within 100 feet

of the house. But close to one-tenth percent of households had animal shed attached to

the house while 26.6 percent of households had animal shed detached from the

building. In rural areas 30.8 percentof households had animal shed detached to the

houses while 12.8 percent households had animal shed attached to the building.

Among social groups ST had the highest proportion of households with attached

animal shed (14.8%). In rural area 16.5 percent of ST households had attached animal

shed while 11.3 percent of SC households had attached animal shed.

Experience of flood

Majority of households in the country (85.3%) had no experience of flood during the

five years prior to the survey. Rural India had a greater experience of flood than urban

India. The major cause of flood in the country was excessive rains. ST households had

the highest proportion of households with no experience of flood in both the urban and

rural sectors. SC and others had almost same proportion of houses with experience of

flood.

Chapter 3

Housing Condition: A State level Analysis

Introduction

An analysis of the housing condition and amenities at the national level is of limited

help to understand the inter-state disparities in a large country like India. Policies and

schemes at the national level are no doubt important; but they have to be sensitive to

the huge inter-state disparities in order to make an impact. As such, this chapter is

devoted to an analysis of the regional disparities based on an inter-state comparison.

For our analysis we have classified the states/UTs into ‘larger’ and ‘smaller’

states based on their share in the total population of the country. States with a share of

population greater than 0.5 percent of the all-India total are defined as larger states and

the remaining as smaller states. Table 1 presents the population distribution and

average household size across states. Of the 35 states and Union Territories (UTs) 21

including the national capital territory Delhi falls under larger states.

Since it is difficult to make comparisons between states with huge disparities in

population (it varies between UP which has a population share of 20.1 percent and

Lakshadweep whose share in the total population is just 0.01 percent) in our

discussion we present tables and graphs for the larger states only. Detailed tables for

all states and UTs are given in the appendix.

This chapter is divided into four sections. In the first section we discuss the

physical characteristics of houses which are indicators of the quality of housing. In the

second section we focus on basic amenities within the dwelling and the third section

presents a discussion on access to basic facilities outside the dwelling followed by

conclusion. Our analysis is based on the data provided by the population of census of

2011 and the 65th

round of NSSO on housing condition and amenities (June 2008-July

2009).

Section 1

Quality of Housing

In this section we discuss the quality of dwelling units with respect to condition and

type of the structure of houses in which households live, number of living rooms in the

dwelling, predominant material used for construction of roof, wall and floorand,

kitchen facility.

Condition of the structure of houses

Our analysis based on the census data shows that the highest proportion of households

living in houses which were ‘good’ in condition was in Himachal Pradesh (72 percent)

followed by Tamil Nadu (70 percent), Andhra Pradesh (70 percent), Gujarat (67

percent) and Kerala (66 percent). The bottom level was occupied first by Odisha (30

percent) followed by Assam (33 percent), Bihar(36 percent), West Bengal (41

percent) and UP (43 percent). We may recall here that the definition of ‘good

condition’ refers to those houding units which do not require any repair and is in good

condition at the time of the investigation.

Figure 3.1: Proportion of households living in ‘good’ condition houses

Source: Census 2011. Note: Names of states are given in abbreviated form. Full

names indicating abbreviations are given in Table 3.1.

Under the next category of ‘livable houses’ defined as those houses which

requires minor repairs Odisha comes first with 62 percent followed by Bihar (57

percent), Assam (56 percent), Jharkhand (52 percent) and UP (51 percent).

The share of dilapidated houses was very less in most states, but two states -

Assam and West Bengal - showed a proportion of around 10 percent to 11 percent.

Analysis of the condition of houses based on NSSO data shows a slightly

different picture both in terms of the ranking of states as well as the percentage share

of households in the different categories.

than 50 percent of households living in houses which were ‘good’ in condition.

Andhra Pradesh (55percent) had the highest proportion of households living in ‘good’

houses followed by Punjab (54percent), Gujarat (53percent), Kerala (52percent) and

Delhi (50percent). In Jharkhand only 11 percent of households lived in ‘good’ houses.

Bihar (20percent), Assam (24percent), Chattisgarh (24percent), Odisha (25percent)

and West Bengal (26percent) also had very low proportion of its households living in

‘good’ houses. For most of the states in the country, major proportion of households

lived in houses which were satisfactory in condition. Chattisgarh (66percent) had the

highest proportion of households living in houses which were ‘satisfactory’ in

condition followed by Assam (59percent), Bihar (56percent) and UP

(51percent).Jharkhand had the highest proportion of households living in bad

condition (38percent) followed by Odisha (25.7 percent), West Bengal (25.6percent),

Bihar (24percent) and UP (21percent).

Type of structure of houses

Classification of households by the type of structure of the houses shows that in

majority of states more than 50 percent of the households lived in houses which were

pucca, the exception being Assam (27percent), Chattisgarh (39percent), Odisha

(40percent), Jharkhand (43percent) and Bihar (48percent). A comparison between

Figures 3.3 and 3.4 show that though a higher proportion of households in the country

lived in pucca structures, they were not necessarily in ‘good’ condition. However we

can also see that those states which had a higher proportion of houses in ‘good’

condition had higher proportion of pucca houses as well. While Chattisgarh had the

highest proportion of households living in semi pucca houses (around 60percent),

Odisha (35percent) and Bihar (33percent) had the highest proportion of households

living in katcha houses.

Number of living rooms in the dwelling

Both the subjective indicator (condition of structure) and objective indicator (type of

structure of house) need to be viewed critically as they take into consideration only the

urgency of repair and the materials used in the construction of the house respectively

and not the comfort. Hence to get a better picture of housing condition we look in to

the number of living rooms in the dwelling which should be deemed as an indicator of

the level of congestion in the house.

Figure3.5: Distribution of households by the number of living rooms in the dwelling

Source: NSSO 65th round (July 2008-June 2009)

Classification of households on the basis of number of living rooms reveals

considerable interstate disparities. While in Kerala (72percent), Jammu& Kashmir,

(64percent) and Assam (51percent) majority of households lived in houses with three

or more living rooms, in West Bengal and Odisha only around 15percent of

households had three or more rooms. In Tamil Nadu 55percent of households lived in

houses with one living room followed by Andhra Pradesh (54percent) and

Maharashtra (52percent). Himachal Pradesh had the highest proportion of households

with no exclusive rooms (6percent), followed by Andhra Pradesh (4percent),

Maharahtra (3percent) and Kerala (2percent). It is a matter of concern that most of the

states in the country had major proportion of its households living in houses with just

one room or two rooms (including kitchen) showing a high degree of

congestion/overcrowding in the houses.

Ventilation

Classification of households on the basis of the ventilation of dwellings, which is an

important indicator of healthy/comfortable housing shows that major proportion of

households across states had only ‘satisfactory’ ventilation (see Appendix Table).

Type of Kitchen

Figure3.6 shows that Kerala had the highest proportion of households with separate

kitchen and water tap (39percent). In Bihar only 3 percent of households had separate

kitchen with water tap. States of Assam, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Madhya

Pradesh, UP and West Bengal had less than 10 percent of their households with

separate kitchen and water tap. Bihar (71percent) had the highest proportion of

households with no separate kitchen followed by UP (69percent) and Jharkhand

(67percent). States of Andhra Pradesh (58percent), Rajasthan (54percent), Gujarat

(44percent), Madhya Pradesh (58percent) and Maharashtra (53percent) also had high

proportion of households with no separate kitchen.

absence of good ventilation can cause serious health problems. Hence the huge gap in

many states of households without a separate kitchen is a matter of concern.

Type of roof

Table 3.2 shows wide disparity among the states in the materials used for roof. In

Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttarakhand, Andhra Pradesh and Punjab cement/RBC/RCC was

the most predominant material of roof while in Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya

Pradesh and Kerala tile (or slate) was also a predominant material of roof. In

Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, UP, Haryana and Punjab burnt brick/stone/lime stone was

also a prominent material used as roofing material along with cement/RBC/RCC. Iron,

zinc or other metal sheets or asbestos sheet was the predominant material of roof in the

north eastern states as well as in the states of Assam (61.6percent), Maharashtra

(41percent) and Jammu & Kashmir (52percent). In Odisha and Bihar 35percent

households lived in houses which had grass/straw/leaves/ reeds/bamboo, etc as

material of roof. In West Bengal (18percent), Andhra Pradesh (13percent) and Tamil

Nadu (14percent) also a significant proportion of households lived in houses with roof

made of grass/straw/leaves/ reeds/bamboo, etc.

Asbestos and other metal roof sheets, though classified as permanent material

may not protect the dwellers from weather related and other health hazards. Safety and

sustainability of houses with grass, straw, reeds, bamboo, leaves, etc is also a matter of

concern.

Type of wall

As per NSS (Table 3.3) we can see that in a majority of the states major proportion of

households had their dwellings made of burnt brick or stone or lime stone, followed by

mud or unburnt brick. While Haryana (85percent) had the highest proportion of houses

with walls made of brick or stone or lime stone Chattisgarh (55percent) had the

highest proportion of house with walls made of mud or unburnt brick. Among other

materials use of grass, straw, leaves, bamboo, etc was most common in Assam

(44percent), followed by Bihar (27percent) and West Bengal (16percent).

Type of floor

There was considerable variation across the states in the material used for floor as is

evident from Table 3.4. While cement was the predominant material of floor in Delhi,

Tamil Nadu, Kerala with around 70 percent of households living in houses with

cement floor, mud was the prominent material of floor in Madhya Pradesh

(70percent), Bihar (69percent), West Bengal (55percent), Chattisgarh (71percent),

Assam (72percent), Jharkhand (68percent), UP (63percent) and Orissa (57percent). In

Gujarat 34 percent and Maharashtra 29 percent of households lived in houses with

mosaic/tile as the material of floor. Wood/plank and bamboo/log was the prominent

material used for floor in north eastern states.

Section 2

Basic Amenities within Dwelling

Characteristics of the structure of the dwelling, though important is only one element

of housing. Without amenities like drinking water facility, sanitation, electricity, etc a

household cannot function as a useful one. In this section we discuss basic amenities

Major Source of drinking water

Census 2011 records data on four major categories of drinking water sources – tap

water, handpump, well, and other sources. NSSO gives data on all these as well as

bottled water, tank/pond, river/canal, spring and harvested rainwater. First we look

into the data provided by the census. At an all-India level, tap water was the major

source of drinking water with nearly 44 percent of the households depending on this

source.

Figure 3.7: Distribution of households with tap water as the major source of drinking

water, 2011

Source: Census 2011

Among the states we see that Himachal Pradesh had the maximum proportion

of households dependent on tap water, at nearly 89 percent, and Bihar the lowest at 4.4

percent, followed by Assam with 10.5 percent. Conversely, the use of a handpump is

the highest among households in Bihar, with 90 percent of the households depending

upon this source, and Sikkim the lowest with just 0.1 percent of the households

dependence on this source (see Appendix table).

Compared to the other two sources, the proportion of households using well as

a source of drinking water is very low, with a general decline from 2001 in all states in

India. Interestingly, Kerala remains an exception in this regard with 62 percent of

households depending upon a well.

Data on the major source of drinking water provided by the NSSO gives a

similar picture as that of the population census. Tap water was the predominant source

of drinking water in majority of the states, closely followed by tube well/hand pump. It

is interesting to note that in Tamil Nadu 4 percent of households depended on bottled

water as a major source of drinking water.

Nature of Access to Drinking water

NSS data reveals disparities among households across states in the nature of their

access to drinking water source. While in states of Kerala (66 percent), Punjab (61

percent) and Delhi (61percent) major proportion of households had drinking water

facility for the exclusive use of households, majority of households in the states of

Odisha (77percent), Jharkhand (76percent), MP (73percent), Chattisgarh (70percent),

West Bengal (64percent), TN (58percent) and Andhra Pradesh (53percent) depended

on community provision of drinking water.

Distance to the source of drinking water

From Table 3.5 we can see that Odisha (20percent), Jharkhand (22percent),

Chattisgarh (25percent) and MP (26percent), had the lowest proportion of households

with drinking water facility within premises. Across the states major proportion of

households had their drinking water source outside premises but within a distance of

200 metres. Manipur (22percent) had the highest proportion of households which had

to travel a distance of 0.2-0.5km to their source of drinking water followed by Odisha

(20percent), Rajasthan (18percent) and Jharkhand (17percent). In Himachal Pradesh

and Mizoram 3 percent and 2 percent respectively of the households had to travel a

distance of 1.5km or more to reach their source of drinking water(see Table in

Appendix to this chapter).

Sufficiency of drinking water

Figure3.9: Distribution of households by their sufficiency of drinking water

throughout the year, 2008-09

Source: NSSO 65

th round (July 2008-June 2009)

Bihar had the highest proportion of households with sufficient drinking water

throughout the year followed by Assam and UP. Mizoram had the lowest proportion of

households with sufficient drinking water (25percent), followed by Nagaland

(44percent). In Rajasthan drinking water was not sufficient for 30 percent of

households. It is interesting to note that in Kerala where the housing condition and

amenities are one of the top among states, 15 percent of households reported that

drinking water availability was not sufficient for their use.

Latrine Facility

Our analysis of latrine facility on the basis of census data shows that at the state level

Jharkhand and Odisha had the highest proportion of households (78percent) without

latrine facility and Kerala had the lowest proportion of households (<5percent). In

fact, the all-India figure for households without a latrine facility was also on the higher

side, which is a worrisome statistic. The findings are given in Figure 3.10.

Data provided by NSSO on the availability of latrine also shows a similar

pattern. Odisha had the highest proportion of households without latrine facility

followed by Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Bihar, UP and MP (see Table in Appendix to this

chapter).

In addition to information on the availability of latrine, NSSO also provides

information on the facility of latrine. Figure 3.11 shows that Kerala along with north

eastern states had the highest proportion of households with latrine facility for the

exclusive of households. Odisha had the lowest proportion of households with latrine

facility for the exclusive use of the households followed by Jharkhand, Chattisgarh,

Bihar, MP, UP and Rajasthan. We can also see that in the states of Tripura

(30percent), Chandigarh (29percent), Delhi (26percent), West Bengal (21percent) and

Punjab (20percent) the practise of sharing latrines with other households was quite

common.

Type of Latrine

Census provides data on three types of latrine namely water closet, pit latrine, and

other latrine type. The all-India data shows a welcoming trend of a shift from pit

latrine to water closet over the last ten years. This was mirrored also at the state level,

with the exception of a few north-eastern states such as Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura

and Meghalaya where pit latrines still dominate with over 60 percent of households

having one(see Table in Appendix to this chapter).

The proportion of households with a water closet was highest in Chandigarh

(87percent) and Delhi (86percent). However, the all-India average is on the lower end

of the spectrum, which is brought down mainly by states such as Bihar and Odisha

where only a mere 15-20 percent of households had water closets. Figure 3.13 shows

that these two states also recorded the lowest change in proportion of households with

water closet over the decade.

Bathroom facility

NSSO provides information on both availability and type of bathroom (whether

attached or detached). We can understand from Figure 3.15 that Kerala (85percent)

had the highest proportion of households with bathroom followed by, Delhi

(84percent), Haryana (73percent) and Punjab (72percent). Odisha (16percent) had the

lowest proportion of households with bathroom facility.

Source of Lighting

The Census records data on three basic sources of lighting: kerosene, electricity and

other sources, besides recording information on households that have no lighting

facilities. A look at the proportion of households having no source of lighting shows

that among larger states, in Jammu and Kashmir 2 percent of households had no

source of lighting.For smaller states, Arunachal Pradesh reports 10.5 percent, with no

source of lighting. The all-India figure for this is extremely low, which is a good sign

overall.

Electricity remains as the major source of lighting in households in India, with

the proportion of households using electricity exceeding 90 percent in twelve states.

The highest in this category is Delhi with 99 percent households, whereas Bihar stands

at a stark low with only 16.4 percent of households reporting electricity as their major

source of lighting.

As for to sources of lighting other than electricity, Census data show that

though there is a welcome reduction in the use of kerosene as a major source of

lighting across India, Bihar is again an exception with more than 82 percent of

households still depended on kerosene, followed by UP and Assam with nearly 62

percent. Figures 3.16 and 3.17 show these extreme differences in electricity and

kerosene use across states.

Figure 3.17: Proportion of households with kerosene as the major of lighting

Cooking Fuel

Census provides information on four sources of cooking fuel: firewood, crop-residue,

kerosene and LPG/PNG. Taking firewood, it can be seen that the proportion of

households using firewood as the major source of fuel was highest in Chhattisgarh

with a proportion more than 80 percent, while in Delhi this proportion was less than 5

percent. This contrast can be seen in Figure 3.18.

the state having highest proportion of households depending on this source being

Delhi with nearly 90 percent , which was then followed by Punjab (54 per cent) among

the larger states.

Figure 3.19: Proportion of households with LPG/PNG as the major source of fuel,

While dependence on crop-residue as a source of fuel was low, we see that

on this source. Also, the share of kerosene as a source of fuel was very meagre at the

all India level.

Section 3

Access to Basic Facilities outside the Dwelling

Access to basic facilities outside the dwelling such as distance to the place of work,

garbage and drainage facilities and access to road are also an important indicators of

the quality of life.

Distance to the place of work

Table 3.6 shows that for majority of households across the states, the earning member

of the family had to travel a distance less than 5km to reach their place of work.

Among the larger states Himachal Pradesh reported the highest percentage (53percent)

of households where the earning member(s) did not have to travel more than one

kilometres for work while Odishawith26 percent reported the least.

Garbage collection

We can understand from Table 3.7 that across the states only a small proportion of

households had access to any form of garbage collection whether by the local

government bodies or by other arrangements. A major proportion of households in all

states except Delhi did not have any arrangement for garbage collection. Bihar

(87percent) had the highest proportion of households with no garbage collection

arrangement followed by Kerala (86percent) and West Bengal (79percent). Kerala’s

disappointing performance despite being a high achiever in many other respects is a

pointer to the government’s failure in providing this basic public function. Among

the larger states Delhi (12 percent) and Tamil Nadu (33percent) had the lowest

proportion of households without any arrangement for garbage collection followed by

Maharashtra (35 percent)

Drainage Facility

Our analysis based on census data on the proportion of households with drainage and

the types of drainage indicate that Odisha had the highest proportion of households

having no drainage facility at 81percent, with Assam second in line, with nearly 80

percent.

As for the types of drainage, there are mainly two categories, closed and open.

A worrisome state of affairs is that most states in India show a high proportion of

households having open drainage, while this is not the case with the proportion having

closed drainage. This can clearly be seen in Figure 3.20. The proportion of households

having closed drainage was the highest in Delhi with 59 percent. However the nearby

state of Haryana was on top with the highest share of open drainage at 65 percent.

Figure 3.20: Proportion of households with open drainage

Source: Census 2011

NSSO also provides data on the facility and type of drainage. Comparison of

NSSO and census data shows that while Kerala has shown a reduction in the

proportion of households without drainage, there has not been any significant

improvement in the case of Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

NSSO classifies type of drainage in terms of four types namely,(a)

underground, (b) covered pucca, (c) open pucca and (d) open katcha. Delhi, followed

by Gujarat, Punjab and Maharashtra have the highest proportion of households with

underground drainage. But in these states also with the exception of Delhi open pucca

and open katcha drainage was more predominant.

Access to Road

The Table 3.8 shows that among the larger states Tamil Nadu (61percent) and Andhra

Pradesh (60percent) had the highest proportion of households with direct opening to

direct opening to motorable road with street light while in Kerala it was only 38

percent of households. Jammu & Kashmir (4 percent) had the lowest proportion of

households with direct opening followed by Bihar (5 percent) and Assam (5 percent).

Sikkim (38 percent), Himachal Pradesh (37 percent) and Jammu & Kashmir

(35 percent) had the highest proportion of households with no direct opening to road.

Chapter 4

Housing Condition in Rural Areas

Introduction

A study on housing condition and amenities in India is incomplete without an analysis

of the rural sector, as majority of the population (69 percent) live in rural areas. This

also necessitates a comparison between rural and urban areas on their relative

performance in various aspects of housing. Hence in this chapter we analyse housing

condition across the states with particular reference to rural areas, followed by an

analysis of rural-urban gap.

Table 4.1 presents the population distribution and average household size

across states in rural and urban India. Uttar Pradesh has the largest rural population

while Maharashtra has the largest urban population. However this does not indicate the

level of urbanization for which we need to examine the share of urban population in

total population as given in Table 4.2. This shows that the states of Delhi, Tamil

Nadu and Kerala have the three most urbanised population in the country in 2011.

This chapter is divided into two sections. In the first section we discuss the

physical characteristics of houses, basic amenities within the dwelling and households’

access to basic facilities outside the dwelling. In the second section we present our

analysis on rural-urban gap. Our analysis is based on the data provided by Census of

2011 and the 65th

round of NSSO on housing condition and amenities (June 2008-July

2009).

Section 1 Housing Condition and Amenities at Rural Level

In this section we discuss the physical characteristics of houses, basic amenities within

the dwelling and households’ access to basic facilities outside the dwelling.

Condition of the structure of Houses

Figure: 4.1 Distribution of households by the condition of structure of houses

Source: NSSO 65th round (July 2008-June 2009)

In rural India, among the larger states only Delhi (53 percent) and Kerala (50

percent) had a major proportion of their households living in houses which were

‘good’ in condition. For the rest of the states majority of households lived in houses

which were ‘satisfactory’ in condition. A ranking of states on the basis of the

proportion of ‘good’ houses shows that the pattern in rural area reflects the pattern at

the state level. The states of Jharkhand (7 percent), Bihar (18 percent), West Bengal

(21 percent) and Chattisgarh (21 percent) had the lowest proportion of households

living in ‘good’ houses and these states also had the highest proportion of households

living in houses which were ‘bad’ in condition.

Classification of households by the condition of the structure of houses shows

that the states of Haryana (93 percent), Uttarakhand (93 percent) and Punjab (91

percent) had the highest proportion of rural households living in pucca houses. In rural

Assam, Chattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal less than 35 percent of

households lived in pucca houses, with Assam having the lowest proportion (21

percent). While Chattisgarh (68 percent) had the highest proportion of rural

households living in semi-pucca houses, Odisha (41 percent) had the highest

proportion of rural households living in katcha houses.

Figure 4.3 reveals that there was widespread disparity among the states in terms of the

availability of living rooms, which throws light on the extent of congestion in the

dwellings of households. While states of Kerala (73 percent) and Jammu & Kashmir

(69 percent) had majority of their households in rural areas living in houses with three

or more rooms, Tamil Nadu (59 percent) and Andhra Pradesh (54 percent) had major

proportion of their rural households living in houses with just one living room or no

exclusive room.

Ventilation

Classification of households in rural areas on the basis of the ventilation of

houses shows that Kerala (45 percent) had the highest proportion of households living

in houses with ‘good’ ventilation, followed by Tamil Nadu (41 percent) and Gujarat

(40 percent). Odisha had the highest proportion of households living in houses with

‘bad’ ventilation(48 percent), followed by and Jharkhand (47 percent) and West

Bengal (35 percent). (see Table ... in Appendix to this chapter).

Type of kitchen

Figure 4.4: Distribution of household by type of kitchen

Source: NSSO 65th

round (July 2008-June 2009)

From figure 4.4 we can see that majority of the states in the country had major

proportion of their households with a separate kitchen but without water tap. Kerala

had the highest proportion of rural households with a separate kitchen and water tap

(36 percent) while Jharkhand with just 0.3 percent had the lowest proportion.

Himachal Pradesh (59 percent) had the highest proportion of households with separate

kitchen but no water tap and UP with only 23 percent of households having a separate

kitchen had the lowest proportion. Major proportion of rural households in 9 large

states such as UP (75 percent), Bihar (74 percent), Jharkhand (72 percent) and Madhya

Pradesh (64 percent) had no separate kitchen.

Type of wall

Table 4.2 shows that there was strong disparity among states on the type of material

used for wall. The two most prominent material of wall in rural India were burnt

brick/stone/lime stone and mud/unburnt brick. While burnt brick/stone/lime stone was

the prominent material of wall in Haryana (88 percent), Punjab (84 percent),

Uttaranchal (82 percent), Andhra Pradesh (70 percent) and Kerala (68 percent);

mud/unburnt brick was the prominent material used for wall in Chattisgarh (64

percent), Jharkhand (60 percent), Odisha (59 percent), and West Bengal (46 percent).

Among the rural households in north eastern states grass/straw/leaves/reeds/bamboo,

etc was the most prominent material of wall (see Appendix Table ). In Bihar 28

percent of rural households lived in houses with grass/straw/leaves/reeds/bamboo as

the predominant material of wall.

Type of roof

Type of material used for roof also reveals diversity in the rural areas across the states

(Table 4.3). While in rural Uttarakhand (66 percent) and Andhra Pradesh (59 percent),

cement/RBC/RCC was the predominant material of roof, in rural Chattisgarh (73

percent), Jharkhand (55 percent), Madhya Pradesh (48 percent), Karnataka (46

percent) and Kerala (44 percent), tile/slate was the prominent material of roof. In

Odisha (40 percent) and Bihar (38 percent) major proportion of rural households’ had

grass/straw/leaves/reeds as the predominant material of roof.

It is also important to note that in the states of Jammu & Kashmir (54 percent),

Maharashtra (44 percent) and West Bengal (31 percent) major proportion of rural

households lived in houses with roof made of asbestos or other metal sheet, which are

not considered healthy material of roofing.

Type of floor

Table 4.4 shows that cement and mud were the two predominant material of floor.

While states like Tamil Nadu (73 percent), Kerala (72 percent), Haryana (52 percent)

and Punjab (49 percent) had a higher proportion of their rural houses living in houses

with cement floor in Assam (78 percent), UP (77 percent), Jharkhand (76 percent),

Madhya Pradesh (75 percent), Bihar (74 percent), West Bengal (70 percent) and

Maharashtra (50 percent) major proportion of rural households lived in houses with

mud flooring.

Major source of drinking water

Our analysis of the census data shows that hand pump was the major source of

drinking water in rural India with a proportion of nearly 44 percent households

depending on hand pump as the major source of drinking water. This was followed by

tap water with 31 percent, well with 13.3 percent and tube well/borehole with 8

percent. Analysis of state level data shows disparities among states on the major

source of drinking water. Bihar had the highest proportion (89 percent) of rural

households depending hand pumps, followed by UP (73 percent), Chattisgarh (70

percent) and West Bengal (63 percent) [Figure 4.5].

Analysis of data on households depending on tap water shows Himachal

Pradesh (89 percent), Tamil Nadu (79 percent) , Uttarakhand (64 percent) had the

highest proportion of households depending on tap water as the major source of

drinking water. Bihar with just 3 percent had the lowest proportion of households

depending on tap water, closely followed by Jharkhand (7 percent), Assam (7 percent)

and Odisha (7 percent) [Figure 4.6].

Census also provides information on whether the tap water was treated or non-

treated. Of the 31 percent households depending on tap water as their major source of

drinking water, 18 percent (58 percent of households depending on tap water) had

access to treated tap water. Among the states with a greater dependence on tap water in

Gujarat 39 percent of the rural households (which is 70 percent of rural households

depending on tap water) depended on untreated tap water.

The dependence on well as a major source of drinking water has come down

significantly compared to 2001. Notably, Kerala was the only state which had a higher

share of households (64.8 percent) depending upon wells for drinking water, though

this also has decline considerably since 2001. Open well water is not considered as a

safe drinking water. However, the social culture is to drink mainly boiled water which

is also supplied in hotels and restaurants. Theis perhaps explain the low incidence of

water-borne diseases compared to other states.

NSSO data on the major source of drinking water for rural India shows a close

correspondence to the findings based on census data. Tap and hand pump/ tube well

were the two most prominent sources of drinking water for rural households. While in

the states of Tamil Nadu (87 percent), Karnataka (70 percent), Jammu & Kashmir (66

percent), Andhra Pradesh (64 percent), Gujarat (58 percent) and Maharashtra

(57percent) major proportion of rural households depended on tap water, in Bihar

(94percent), UP (93 percent), West Bengal (85percent), Chattisgarh (81percent),

Madhya Pradesh (74percent) and Orissa (73percent), tube well/hand pump was the

major source of drinking water (see Appendix Table).

When we look at the nature of access to the major source of drinking water we can see

that highest proportion of households in the country (47 percent) depended on

community drinking water facility. But there was considerable disparity between the

states which is evident from Figure 4.8. While in the states of Kerala, Punjab and

Assam major proportion of rural households had drinking water facility for the

exclusive use of households, in Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and

West Bengal, community use was predominant. When compared to such other lagging

states as MP, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh Bihar (44 percent) had a higher proportion

of rural households with exclusive use of the water source.

Distance to the source of drinking water

Figure 4.9: Distribution of households by the distance to source of drinking water

Source: NSSO 65th round (July 2008-June 2009)

From Figure 4.9 we can see that distance to the source of drinking water also shows

disparities among states. Among the larger states Punjab (81 percent) had the highest

proportion of rural households with drinking water within premises followed by

Kerala (75 percent) and Assam (64 percent). In Jharkhand and Odisha 86 percent of

rural households had to travel a distance between 0.2-1 km to their major source of

drinking water. In Rajasthan 4 percent of rural households had to travel a distance of

more than 1 percent to their major source of drinking water.

Sufficiency of drinking water

Figure 4.10: Distribution of households by the sufficiency of drinking water, 2008-09

Source: NSSO 65th round (July 2008-June 2009)

Figure 4.10 shows that Bihar (97 percent) had the highest proportion of rural

households with sufficient drinking water throughout the year followed by UP (95

percent), Assam (95 percent) and Tamil Nadu (94 percent). In Maharashtra only 75

percent households had sufficient drinking water and in Rajasthan it was only 65

percent.

Latrine Facility

Our analysis of the census data shows that nearly 70 percent rural households in the

country had no latrine facility. However, it is to be noted that there was a nearly 10

percent fall in this proportion at all India level for rural households. This is a good

sign, but there is still a long way to go.

It is seen that Jharkhand (92.4 percent) had the highest proportion of rural

households without a latrine facility, followed by Madhya Pradesh (86.9 percent).

During 2001, it was Chhattisgarh (94.8 percent), followed by Jharkhand (93.4

percent). Even after 10 years Jharkhand has not shown much improvement.

It is evident from Figure 4.12 that in all the states, with the exception of Jammu

and Kashmir and Assam, there has been a fall in the proportion of rural households not

having latrine facility (in the former it has increased by more than 3 percentage points

while in the latter it has remained stagnant over ten years). Remarkable progress in

reducing this basic deprivation has been recorded by Himachal Pradesh followed by

Punjab and Haryana. These states – Uttarakhand, West Bengal and Maharashtra – can

also claim some credit in this respect. Kerala, of course, had already a good record in

2001 which has been further improved although five per cent of its households reputed

‘no latrine’ in 2011.

As for the types of latrine, the all India data for 2011 shows a more than 12

percent increase in the proportion of rural households with water closet compared to

that of 2001 (Appendix table). The state level data also shows a similar trend with all

the states showing an increase in the proportion of rural households having a water

closet.

Figure 4.13: Proportion of households with flush/pour flush latrine, 2011

The state with the highest proportion of flush/pour flush latrine in rural

households was Kerala (59 percent) followed by Himachal Pradesh (57 percent) and

Punjab (43 percent). Jharkhand (6.2 percent) remained as the state with the lowest

proportion of rural households with flush/pour flush latrine followed by Odisha,

Chattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh (10 percent).

NSSO provides data on whether latrine facility is available for the exclusive

use of households. From Figure 4.14 we can see that in rural India only 28 percent of

households had latrines for the exclusive use of households. Kerala (90 percent) had

the highest proportion of rural households with latrine facility for the exclusive use of

the households. while Odisha had only 9 percent of rural households had latrine

facility for the exclusive use of households.

Bathroom facility

Our analysis of the census data shows that the share of rural households not having

bathing facility stood at 55 percent, and it was highest in Chhattisgarh with 93.2

percent. This was then followed by Odisha and Jharkhand with more than 88 percent.

Here too, vast differences across states exist, seen Figure 4.15.

Figure 4.15: Proportion of households with no bathroom facility

Source: Census 2011

Our analysis of the NSSO data on the availability of bathroom facility

corresponds to the findings based on census data. NSSO data shows that only a small

proportion (12 percent) of rural households in the country had attached bathroom.

Lighting Facility

Our analysis of census data shows that electricity was the major source of lighting in

rural areas in 2011 with 55 percent of households reporting electricity as the major

source of lighting, a shift from kerosene as the major source of lighting in 2001. We

can see from Figure 4.16 that Delhi (98 percent) had the highest share of rural

households having electricity, followed by Himachal Pradesh (97 percent). We can

also see that Punjab, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu had a proportion of more than 90

percent of rural households having electricity as their major source of lighting.

We can see from Figure 4.18 that Uttarakhand registered the highest change (33

percentage points), Madhya Pradesh showed a reduction in the proportion of

households with electricity as the major source of lighting because it showed a

negative four per cent change.

Cooking Fuel

Our analysis of census data shows firewood as the major source of fuel among rural

households (63 percent), followed by crop-residue (12 percent), LPG/PNG (11

percent) and cow dung cake (11 percent). Very interestingly, kerosene has the least

share with less than 1 percent households depending on it as major source of fuel.

We can see from Figure 4.19 that Chhattisgarh (92 percent) had the highest

proportion of rural households depending on firewood as the major source of fuel for

cooking followed by Karnataka (82 percent) and Assam (81 percent).

In Bihar and West Bengal more than 35 percent of rural households depended

on crop residue as a source of cooking fuel.

It is interesting to note that in the country, in rural areas around 83 percent of

households cook inside the house which also shows that around 16 percent of

households cook outside the house. Of households that cook inside, around 45.5

percent ( 63.6 million) households do not have a kitchen (which is 37.9 percent of total

rural households). Of the total households cooking outside, 55. 4 percent (14.2 million

) do not have a kitchen.

This is to be understood keeping in mind that 61. 7 percent of households

which do not have kitchen and cooking inside the house use firewood as the major

source of cooking fuel while 16.3 percent use cow dung cake as the major source of

coking fuel. This can have severe health hazards.

Garbage collection and Drainage

Across the states in rural India major proportion of households do not have any

arrangement for garbage collection. Among the larger states Tamil Nadu (13 percent)

and Andhra Pradesh (12 percent) had the highest proportion of households with the

panchayat collecting the garbage (Table 4.5).

Our analysis of the census data shows that all India share of rural households not

having drainage facility was quite high with more than 63 percent. Among the states,

the highest proportion of rural households not having drainage facility was in Odisha

and Chhattisgarh, with more than 88 percent of rural households not having any

drainage facility. As is evident from Figure 4.20 in most of the states with the

exception of Himachal Pradesh and Haryana, major proportion of households had no

drainage facility.

Figure 4.20: Distribution of households by the type of drainage facility, 2011

Source: Census 2011

As for the type of the drainage, we have two categories, closed and open, and

all India picture shows the proportion of households with open drainages is a

staggering six times more than the proportion with closed drainage. Hence, drainage is

a very worrying attribute among rural households.

Access to road

From Table 4.6 we can see that Tamil Nadu (55 percent) had the highest proportion of

households with houses having direct opening to motorable road with street light while

Jammu & Kashmir had just 0.04 percent of the rural households having direct opening

to road. Assam (0.9 percent), Jharkhand (1.3 percent), Bihar (1.9 percent), West

Bengal (2.3percent) and UP (2.5 percent) also had very small proportion of households

with direct opening to motorable road. In these states major proportion of the rural

households had direct opening to other road/lane without street light. Proportion of

households with no direct opening to road was the highest for Sikkim (43.4 percent),

followed by Jammu & Kashmir (42 percent) and Himachal Pradesh (40 percent).

Section 2 Rural-Urban Gap

In this section we discuss the rural-urban gap at the state level for various aspects of

housing and amenities. We define rural-urban gap for a particular indicator as the ratio

of the proportion of households in the urban and rural areas possessing that attribute.

For example the rural urban gap for the availability of electricity is given by dividing

the percentage of households with electricity in urban area divided by the percentage

of households with electricity in rural area. A value greater than 1 implies that urban

area is better than rural area for that particular aspect. A value of 1 shows that both

rural and urban areas are at the same level. A value less than 1 implies that urban area

lags the rural area.

This ratio is also an indicator of rural-urban inequality in the spatial sense. The

findings bring out the unequal access and/or achievement in almost all indicators with

rural areas falling significantly behind urban areas. Moreover, there is also the inter-

state inequality across states. The urban-rural inequality is considerably higher in

states that have a poor overall record in many indicators of the housing condtion. This

suggests the neglect or low priority given to rural housing condition.

contigeous north-west region of India consisting of Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Himachal

Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir showed the lowest gap.

Figure 4.24: Rural-urban gap in terms of households’ availability of drinking water

within premises, 2008-09

Source: Calculated from NSSO 65th round (July 2008-June 2009)

The gap between rural and urban areas in terms of the availability of drinking water

within premises shows that in the states of Jharkhand, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh

rural areas are in much adverse condition than the urban areas. The gap was lowest in

Lakshadweep, Chandigarh and Kerala.

To obtain the rural urban gap in the availability of latrine facility we calculated the

ratio of rural households and urban households with no latrine facility (R/U). Our

analysis shows that Uttarakhand, , Assam, Maharashtra, Gujarat and West Bengal had

very high values implying that in these states the rural areas are much worse than

urban areas in terms of availability of latrine.

To understand the rural urban gap in the availability of kitchen we calculated the ratio

of the proportion of rural households with no separate kitchen and the proportion of

urban households with no separate kitchen. Our analysis shows that Uttarakhand had

the highest gap followed by Rajasthan and Jharkhand. In most other states also rural

households are worse off but the extent of gap was smaller, the only exception being

Kerala where rural area was better off than urban area in this respect.

Chapter 5

Social Dimension of Housing Condition

Unequal Access to ST and SC Households

Introduction

In this chapter we analyse the housing condition and amenities in terms of social

groups with particular reference to STs and SCs across the states. These two social

groups have been historically disadvantaged and were at the margins of society. Over

the past decades successive governments have launched several programmes and

schemes aimed at improving the housing condition of STs and SCs. Our preliminary

analysis of housing condition and amenities at the all-India level showed that as a

social group ST and SC households performed the worst in all the aspects we

analysed.

Through the analysis of NSSO’s 65th

Round data on housing condition and

amenities, we study the achievement ratio in the various aspects of housing condition

and amenities between ST-SC households viz-a-viz ‘Other’ households. For our

analysis we have selected fifteen aspects which are considered to be desirable like

‘good’ condition houses, availability of electricity for domestic use, availability of

drinking water within premises, latrine facility, separate kitchen with water tap, etc.

In this chapter we present our analysis for the larger states only. Detailed

tables on all states and UTs are given in the appendix.

Calculation of the Achievement Rate between ST-SC and ‘Other’ households

The achievement rate can be expressed as:

𝐴𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑒𝑣�𝑒�𝑡 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝐴𝑅) = (�� 𝑜� �𝐶

) ∗ 100 ′𝑂�ℎ𝑒��′

100- AR gives us the gap to be covered.

Where AR represents the distance covered by ST/SC households as compared

to ‘Other’ households. A value of AR lower than 100 percent for a particular aspect

indicates that ST/SC households are worse in that particular aspect and a value of AR

higher than 100 percent indicate ST/SC households are better than ‘Other’ households.

A value of AR equal to 100 indicates that no gap exists between ST/SC and ‘Others’

households. Closer the value of AR to 100, lower the disparity between ST/SC and

‘Others’ and vice versa.

Distribution of Households across Social Groups

Before moving into detailed discussion we present the distribution of ST, SC and

‘Other’ households across states in Table 5.1. There are 11 major states where the

Page 108: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

share of SC population is 20 per cent or above of the total population. These are

Punjab and Haryana have 36 and 30 percent respectively followed by West Bengal

(27%), UP (26%). The remaining seven states of Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil

Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Uttarakhand vary from 20 to 23 per cent. Among

smaller states/UT’s Tripura and Chandigarh have above 20 per cent.As for the share of

ST population, there are only four larger states with a share of 20 or more percent.

These are Chattisgarh (37%), Jharkhand (27%), Odisha (27%) and MP (21%).

However, in a number of smaller states and UT’s, the ST population constitute an

overwhelming majority that are also distinguished for higher human development

indicators. These are Mizoram (98%), Meghalaya (90%), Lakshadweep (85%),

If we combine the two socially most disadvantaged and often excluded population –

ST and SC- Chattisgarh emerges as the only one among the larger states with a major

share (53%) ….. there are three others – Jharkhand, Odhisha and MP – minimum share

of more than forty per cent share of the population. Another nine states – Punjab,

West Bengal, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana and Andhra Pradesh – have a share between

30 and 37 percent. Another four have a share of close to 25 and 29 percent.

Condition of houses

To understand the gap in terms of the condition of houses in which the households

belonging to ST and SC social groups live, we have considered the proportion of

households living in ‘good’ condition houses.

Figure 5.1: Gap between ST/SC households and ‘Other’ households in terms of 'good’

houses (Rural+ Urban)

Source: NSSO 65th

Round (July 2008-June 2009). Note : * ST Population less than two

percent of total

From Figure 5.1 we can see that with the exception of Uttarakhand and UP in

all other states ST households were worse than ‘Others’ in terms of the proportion of

households living in ‘good’ houses. Both these were states with a low proportion of ST

housesholds – 2.6 and 0.8 percent of the total – only and hence this ‘impressive’ AR.

Rajasthan had the highest gap with the proportion of ST households living in ‘good’

houses being only 35 percent of the proportion of ‘Other’ households living in ‘good’

condition houses. Rajasthan was closely followed by Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand,

two states with significant proportion of ST households. In Chattisgarh which had the

highest proportion of ST households (37 percent) the gap was comparatively low.

Analysis of the gapbetween SC and ‘Other’ households show that Uttarakhand

(which had a proportion of 20 percent SC households) had the highest gap with only

45 percent of SC households living in ‘good’ houses as a proportion of ‘Other’

households i.e, a gap of 55 per cent

Type of structure

To analyse the gap in terms of the structure of house, we have considered the

proportion of households living in ‘Pucca’ houses. ‘Pucca’ houses are made of

permanent material which can better withstand natural calamities and adverse climatic

conditions.

From Figure 5.2 we can see that states with a sizeable proportion of ST

households namely Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Odisha had the lowest AR.

This is not surprising as major proportion of ST households in these states live in

forest areas. Compared to ST households SC households had lower gap across states.

Roof Type

To analyse the AR in terms of roof type we have taken ‘concrete’ roof as desirable.

We can see from Figure 5.3 the gap among STs were higher than that of SCs.

Figure 5.3: AR of households living in houses with concrete roof (Rural+Urban)

In this case also states with a sizable proportion of ST households had the

highest gap. For instance in Odisha the proportion of ST households with concrete

roof was only 20 percent of ‘Other’ households with concrete roof.

The condition of SCs though better than STs, was considerably worse than

‘Others’. In Madhya Pradesh which had the highest gap, the proportion of SC

concrete roof.

Floor

The material used for the floor of the house is very important from the point of view of

health and hygiene. For our analysis we have considered cement floor as desirable.

Figure 5.4: AR of households living houses with cement floor (Rural+Urban)

which had the highest gap for STs also had the highest gaps for SCs. The condition of

SC households in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu was better

than ‘Other’ households.

Number of living rooms

The number of living rooms a house has is an indicator of the level of congestion and

comfort of the house. To understand the gap in this regard we have considered three or

more living rooms as the desirable attribute. A three room house would indicate a

separate kitchen, living room and a bed-room for an average family size of five

members.

Figure 5.5: AR of households living in houses with three or more living rooms

(Rural+Urban)

While in Assam, Bihar and Chattisgarh STs were better than ‘Others’ in terms

of having three or more living rooms, in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Odisha and

Maharashtra they were worse off with huge gap.

In the case of SCs Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Delhi had the

highest gap.

Ventilation

Ventilation is also an important indicator of the quality of housing. Houses with poor

ventilation can have adverse health impacts. We have considered proportion of

households with ‘good’ ventilation for our analysis.

As for SCs they were better than ‘Others’ in none of the states. While Assam

and Andhra Pradesh had smaller gap in comparison to other states, Haryana, Madhya

Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Bihar had huge gap.

Kitchen Type

To study the gap in this aspect we have considered the proportion of households with

separate kitchen and water tap.

We can see from figure 5.7 that there exist huge gap between ST-SC and

‘Other’households across states. In Bihar, West Bengal and Kerala as a proportion of

‘Other’ households with separate kitchen and water tap,the AR was only 9 percent, 10

percent and 11 percent respectively for the ST households That shows a huge

disparity between the ST and Others. In the case of SCs, with the exception of Assam

Page 117: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

in all other states there existed huge gap (more than 50 percent). Uttarakhand had the

highest gap followed by Jharkhand, Haryana, Karnataka and UP.

Drainage Facility

The presence of proper drainage facility is very important for the health and hygiene of

dwellers. To understand the gap between social groups in this respect we consider the

proportion of households with underground/closed pucca drainage.

Figure 5.8: AR of households with underground/closed pucca drainage (rural+Urban)

From Figure 5.8 we can see that for both STs and SCs, in majority of the states

there existed a gap of more than 50 percent.

In the case of STs the gap was highest for Tamil Nadu, followed by Punjab,

West Bengal, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha. STs were better off than

‘Others’ in Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand, UP and Delhi.

In the case of SCs too Punjab, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha had

huge gaps. It is interesting to note that in Uttarakhand while STs were better off than

‘Others’, SCs were worse off than ‘Others’.

Tap Water

0

From Figure 5.9 we can see that for both STs and SCs, the gap was highest in

the states of Bihar, Rajasthan, Odisha and Chattisgarh. We can also see that across the

states the gap was higher for STs compared to SCs.

It is interesting to note that in Kerala for both STs and SCs, the dependence on

tap water was more than that of ‘Others’. It is not surprising given the fact that Kerala

is a state where well the prominent source of drinking water is the open well. The

higher dependence of STs and SCs on tap water may imply their greater reliance on

publicly provided drinking water and location of houses with less water availability or

access to land (especially for SC) and/or economic capacity to construct a well.

Nature of access to drinking water

To understand the gap in the nature of access to major source of drinking water, we

consider the proportion of households with exclusive access to drinking water source.

From Figure 5.10 we can see that with the exception of Chattisgarh and Assam

all other states with a sizable proportion of ST households such as MP, Odisha,

Gujarat and Rajasthan there existed huge gaps in terms of exclusive access to drinking

water source.

In the case of SCs, they were worse off than ‘Others’ across the states. Figure

also reveals that in the states of Kerala, Gujarat, Punjab, West Bengal and

Rajasthan, SCs were better off than STs whereas in Chattisgarh, Haryana and

Uttarakhand STs were better off than SCs.

Distance to the source of drinking water

Distance to the source of drinking water is also an important aspect of housing. To

understand the gap we considered the proportion of households with drinking water

source within premises.

Figure 5.11: AR of households with drinking water within premises (Rural+ Urban)

We can see from Figure 5.11 that in majority of the states STs were worse off

than ‘Others’. The gap was highest in the case of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and

Chapter 6

Concluding Remarks

In the introductory chapter, we have already summarized the major findings of this

study. The main purpose of this concluding chapter is to comment on the overall

situation of housing and related amenities in the country as well as to point out the

regional and social differences.

At the outset, it must be pointed out that the housing condition captured by

both the Population Censuses as well as by the National Sample Survey closely

resemble each other thereby confirming the overall situation. While some progress in

the quality of housing (revealed by such indicators as the proportion of pucca houses,

durability of materials used for wall and roof, etc.) as well as living amenities such as

having a private latrine, access to drinking water, and electrification of houses have

registered some progress between 2001 and 2011, the country as a whole still faces

significant gaps in assuring a minimum of quality housing and related amenities to its

people. Indeed, in terms of such basic amenities as the availability of floor space,

access to a private toilet facility and access to safe drinking water, India continues to

face a housing question that should be seen as part of its larger social question of many

dimensions.

Drinking water being a major constraint there is need for fresh thinking on the

subject. Given the size and varied climatic conditions, piped water is unlikely to be an

effective answer to this problem. There is need to explore the decentralized

development route which could develop the multiple sources of drinking water with

local management and local level resources. Rain water harvesting and storing as well

as protection and development of wells will have to be considered more seriously than

before. Equally urgent is the need to provide a private toilet facility to all the currently

deprived households both in rural and urban areas.

This study has given a special focus on the situation in rural areas by

separating the progress in housing and related amenities into rural and urban. The

findings clearly point out to the fact that the rural areas of the country not only lag

behind the urban areas in every indicator but the gap is also widening. Of course, this

inequality is not confined to the housing condition only. From a basic economic point

of view, it is reflected in increasing income/consumption inequality as well as in the

quality of employment as well as wages and earnings. Of particular significance here

is the record of high growth rate of the Indian economy during the past three decades

that seems to have only inadequately benefitted the rural areas. This calls for renewed

efforts in rural development and transformation beginning with the further

development of agriculture and related activities assuring significant and gainful

employment generation than before. Increase in employment and income could

Page 126: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

contribute to better housing conditions but the latter also could contribute to economic

development through better health, increased productivity as well as social dignity.

State Level Scenario

While the overall picture sums up the housing condition in the country as a whole, it is

important to examine the regional picture given the size of the country and the number

of states that are ultimately responsible for implementing various programmes and

schemes. We have divided the states and Union Territories into two major groups viz.,

(a) 21 Larger States where the total population of a given state is not below 0.5 per

cent of the country’s population, and (b) 14 Smaller States and Union Territories

where the population in each unit is less than 0.5 per cent of the country’s population.

Here there are 9 smaller states and 5 Union Territories.

In general, we find that the ranking of the Indian States in terms of human

development corresponds closely, if not wholly, to the ranking according the housing

condition and related amenities. We list below the first seven states in terms of best

achievements from among the 21 larger states in the country.

Institute of Applied Manpower Research, New Delhi); Column 2 on ‘Good’ housing as per

Census 2011; all other indicators as per NSS 2008-09.

The picture that emerges from Table 6.1 is worthy of some comments. First of

all, overall human development indicator is a good guide to gauge the housing and

related living condition. Except one state – Maharashtra - all the states that are in the

forefront of HDI also figure in the first seven states ranked in terms of the core

indicators of housing and living conditions selected in the table. Maharashtra, with

one of the highest per capita income as well as the highest rate of industrialization,

figures only in one indicator as a seventh rank holder under ‘pucca’ housing. This

should indeed be a food for thought for those who believe that maximization of per

capita income and industrialization will automatically lead to a better quality of life.

Page 127: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

This shows the nature of exclusion, both regionally and socially, leading to a situation

of poor housing condition.

A similar surprise in the reverse direction is the case of Assam. Although

Assam does not figure prominently in terms of HDI, the state figures among the first

seven in four out of the seven core indicators. This calls for a nuanced understanding

of the different indicators of social/human development and be careful in using the

summary indicator of HDI only cautiously and not a synonym for social/human

development. Assam’s relative achievement in having a private toilet facility,

adequate space in the residence, having a separate kitchen and access to drinking water

call for a detailed understanding of the situation.

There is another state – Gujarat – which figures in two of the seven core

indicators but which do not figure among the first seven high HDI states. That means

in some aspects of housing condition, Gujarat seems to have done well from a

comparative perspective but not enough to emerge as a strong contender in a majority

of the indicators. That means it has a long way to go before claiming to be a leading

state let alone a ‘model’ that is sometimes touted around in the current development

discourse in the country.

Among the high human development states, Kerala which has been a front-

ranking one among all states for a considerable period of time is the only state that

figures in all the seven core indicators of housing and living conditions selected here.

That surely speaks of its comparative lead in several dimensions of social/human

development. Of course, as the earlier chapters have shown, Kerala has to continue its

efforts especially in meeting the deficit in housing and living conditions among its SC

and ST people and achieve a much higher rate of success that is certainly within its

reach.

Himachal Pradesh is the next best state as far as housing and living condition is

concerned. It figures in five out of the seven core indicators. Delhi is in a similar

position but it has certain inherent advantages being the national capital of the country.

On the whole the four states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh,

Punjab and Haryana are the leading states in providing a minimum of quality housing

and living amenities to the households.

What about Rural India?

When we examine rural India only what we are trying to find out is about the ‘urban

bias’ which seems to have strengthened since the early 1990s. Interestingly, most of

the states that figure in the first seven ranks also figure when the ranking is done only

for rural India. But there are some important drop outs that could be interpreted as

‘urban bias’ in achieving the relatively better overall performance. In terms of ‘good’

housing one state - Gujarat – drops out of the list in rural ranking and in its place

Punjab comes in the fourth position. As for ‘pucca’ housing, Maharashtra is absent in

Page 128: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

the rural ranking and in its place the undivided Andhra Pradesh comes in. As for the

availability of adequate space within the residence (three rooms and above),

Chhattisgarh drops out and in its place Uttarakhand comes in. In terms of having a

separate kitchen, both Gujarat and Haryana drops out and in their place Karnataka and

Delhi enter the first seven states. Gujarat gets dropped out from the indicator of

‘access to drinking water’ and Bihar takes the place. In terms of having a private

latrine facility three states – Assam, Jammu and Kashmir and Tamil Nadu – get

dropped out and their places are taken by Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Gujarat. For

electricity as a source of lighting, Karnataka gives way to Uttarakhand.

While this is an interesting finding, that by itself cannot be counted as absence

of ‘urban bias’ because we are only ranking the states according to their performance

in housing condition in rural areas. As we have shown and discussed in Chapter 4, in

most states the housing condition in urban areas is considerably better than that in

rural areas. However, the gap is either negligible or low in six states that are

prominent in the first seven rank holders. These states are Delhi, Himachal Pradesh,

Kerala, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Even here, there are some glaring gaps in

a few basic indicators such as access to a private latrine facility and access to drinking

water.

At the other end, the highest rural-urban gap is largely, if not only, among

those states in eastern India which are also laggards in overall performance when rural

and urban areas are combined. This of course is a double disadvantage that the rural

households find them in.

What about the Social Dimension?

While rural-urban divide in housing and living amenities is quite prominent, as in the

case of many other social and human development indicators, the social divide seems

to be a more prominent feature. Here we focus mainly on the plight of ST and SC

communities viz-a-viz Others who consist of the socially advantaged groups as well as

somewhat less advantages groups called the OBC and the Muslims.

Page 129: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

First let us take the case of Scheduled Tribe households. The two states that

figure in the first seven among the Larger States are Uttarakhand and Tamil Nadu with

the former registering a much better performance. The next three states are Delhi,

Himachal Pradesh and Kerala. It must however be mentioned that the performance of

Kerala with regard to the coverage of ST population is quite low compared to its

coverage of the other segments viz. SC and Others.

It needs to be emphasized that of these five states, all but one are also the ones

with relatively high HDI. Therefore, their performance should also be viewed as part

of a larger process of human and social development.

Among the Smaller States the first three best performing ones (constituting

one-third of the total Small States) are those from the North East as far as coverage of

ST population is covered. That these states have a significant share of ST in their

population might have worked as a favourable factor.

As for the SC group is concerned, the best performing ones are Punjab and

Himachal Pradesh followed by Delhi. The other states that figure in the well

performing list are Haryana, Gujarat, Kerala, Assam, Uttarakhand, Tamil Nadu,

Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharsshtra. This shows that the states with a better

record are quite scattered in the case of SC population than that of ST as well as

Others. The best performers are also the ones with a relatively high rank in HDI.

What is surprising is that Kerala figures quite low in two indicators and absent in

others. As in the case of ST, Kerala’s record in covering the SC population is in

contrast with its overall high performance in housing conditions as well as the HDI.

Among Smaller States the first three front runners are Goa, Pondicherry and

Sikkim as well as Meghalaya and Mizoram. That some of the North Eastern States

such as Meghalaya, Mizoram and Sikkim are sensitive to all segments of the

population is something that should be noted. Same is the case with the State of Goa

given its all round achievement in several indicators of human developments that are

reflected in the housing condition too.

In the case of social groups under ‘Others’, we must point out that this is quite

a varied group consisting of the traditionally socially advantaged groups of upper caste

Hindus, Jains, Christians and Sikhs and other religions as well as those who are

considered as intermediate groups such as OBC as well as Muslims. In this case only

Punjab and Delhi figure as front ranking ones in all core indicators. Others are quite

scattered including Kerala and Himachal Pradesh which are otherwise front ranking in

many indicators of human and social development.

Three main lessons that need to be drawn from this study need to be

emphasized. One, the overall scenario with regard to basic amenities of living

including housing is concerned, India has a huge deficit to fill. Two, the neglect of

rural India is quite prominent and that constitutes itself as a major challenge. Third,

there is a sharp divide in most states, if not all, with regard to the condition of ST and

Page 130: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

SC households and Others. This social dimension calls for a special focus on these

two communities which together constitute about a quarter of the Indian people.

Appendix to Chapter 2

Concepts and definitions

1. Census

Premises

Premises means building along with the land and/or common places in case of

apartments/ flats/multi-storey buildings attached to it. A building may not always have

a compound wall or fencing. In such cases, the land or the common place as the case

may be, that is available to the household may be treated as 'Premises'.

Building

'Building' is generally a single structure on the ground. Usually a structure will have

four walls and a roof. Sometimes it is made up of more than one component unit

which are used or likely to be used as dwellings (residences) or establishments such as

shops, business houses, offices, factories, workshops, work sheds, schools, places of

entertainment, places of worship, godowns, stores, etc. It is also possible that buildings

which have component units may be used for a combination of purposes such as

residence-cum-shop, residencecum- workshop, residence-cum-office, residence-cum-

doctor's clinic etc.

Census House

'Census House' is a building or part of a building used or recognized as a separate unit

because of having a separate main entrance from the road or common courtyard or

staircase etc. It may be occupied or vacant. It may be used for a residential or non-

residential purpose or both.

If a building has a number of Flats or Blocks/Wings, which are independent of one

another having separate entrances of their own from the road or a common staircase or

a common courtyard leading to a main gate, these will be considered as separate

Census houses.

Household

'Household' is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take their

meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from

doing so.

The persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a

group of unrelated persons live in a Census house but do not take their meals from the

common kitchen, then they will not collectively constitute a household. Each such

person should be treated as a separate household. The important link in finding out

whether it is a household or not is a common kitchen. There may be one member

households, two member households or multi-member households.

You may come across three types of households namely, i) Normal households, ii)

Institutional households and iii) Houseless households.

In a few situations, it may be difficult to apply the definition of household strictly as

given above. For example, a person living alone in a Census house, whether cooking

meals or not, will have to be treated as a household. Similarly, if husband and wife or

Page 133: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

a group of related persons are normally living together in a Census house but are

getting cooked meals from outside due to some reason, will also constitute a normal

household. [*In House-listing, you are required to cover only the normal and

institutional households.]

Other non-residential use

This category will cover the Census houses used as places of entertainment and

community gathering and all other non-residential miscellaneous uses of the Census

houses which have not been covered in any of the above categories

Vacant

If a Census house is found vacant at the time of house-listing i.e. no person is living in

it and it is not being used for any other non-residential purpose

Place of worship:

If the Census house is exclusively used as a temple or gurudwara or mosque or church

or any other place of worship

Factory/workshop/work-shed etc. :

If the Census house is exclusively used for running a factory or a workshop or used as

a work-shed, record factory/workshop/work-shed

Residence-cum-other use

If the Census house is used for residence in combination with one or more non-

residential purpose(s). This situation will apply to those houses which have only one

access but are used for residence in combination with non-residential use(s).

Residence

Where the Census house is used for residence only [and not in combination with one

or more other purpose(s)].

Dilapidated

Those houses which are showing signs of decay or those breaking down and require

major repairs or those houses decayed or ruined and are far from being in conditions

that can be restored or repaired may be considered as 'Dilapidated'.

Livable

Those houses which require minor repairs may be considered as 'Livable’.

Good

Those houses which do not require any repairs and in good condition may be

considered as 'Good'.

Owned

If a household is occupying the Census house owned by itself and is not making

payments in the form of rent to anyone, then the household may be considered as

living in owned house. A household living in a Flat or a house taken on 'ownership'

basis on payment of installments, should also be regarded as owning the house,

notwithstanding the fact that all the installments have not been paid

Page 134: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

Dwelling Room

A dwelling room would include living room, bedroom, dining room, drawing room,

study room, servant's room and other habitable rooms provided they satisfy the

criterion of their dimensions. Do not include kitchen, bathroom, latrine, store room,

passageway and veranda which are not normally usable for living. A room, used for

multipurpose such as sleeping, sitting, dining, storing, cooking, etc., should be

regarded as a dwelling room.

Main source of drinking water

If a household gets drinking water from two or more sources, the source availed of

more or during the greater part of the year should be recorded

Availability of drinking water source

The drinking water source available 'Near the premises', i.e., code '2' will be

considered only if the available source is within a range of 100 meter from the

premises in urban areas and within a distance of 500 meters in the case of Rural areas.

Latrine within the premises

The latrine facility can be exclusive or it may be combined with the place for bathing.

In this situation both the facility of latrine and bathroom will be treated as available.

2. National Sample Survey, 65th

Round

Household: A group of persons who normally lived together and took food from a

common kitchen constituted a household. The adverb “normally” meant that the

temporary visitors and guests (whose total period of stay in the household was

expected to be less than 6 months) were excluded but the temporary stay-aways

(whose total period of absence from the household was expected to be less than 6

months) were included. Thus a child residing in a hostel for studies was excluded from

the household of his/her parents, but a resident domestic servant or paying guest (but

not just a tenant in the house) was included in the employer’s/host’s household.

“Living together” was given more importance than “sharing food from a common

kitchen” in drawing the boundaries of a household in case the two criteria were in

conflict. However, in the special case of a person taking food with his family but

sleeping elsewhere (say, in a shop or a different house) due to shortage of space, the

household formed by such a person’s family members was taken to include the person

also. Each inmate of a hotel, mess, boarding-lodging house, hostel, etc., was

considered to be a single-member household except that a family living in a hotel (say)

was considered one household only. The same principle was applicable for the

residential staff of such establishments. The size of a household is the total number of

persons in the household.

House: Every structure, tent, shelter, etc., was a house irrespective of its use. It might

be

used for residential or non-residential purpose or both or even might be vacant.

Page 135: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

Building: Building was a free-standing structure comprising one or more rooms or

other spaces covered by a roof and usually enclosed within external walls or dividing

walls which extended from the foundation to the roof. Dividing walls referred to the

walls of adjoining buildings, i.e., dividing walls of a row of houses. These houses were

practically independent of one another and likely to have been built at different times

and owned by different persons. If more than one physically separated structure

constituted one living unit, all of them together also formed a building. Usually,

building would have four external walls. But in some areas the nature of building

construction was such that it had no walls. Instead, it had a slanting roof which almost

touched the ground and it was provided with an entrance. Such structures and also

structures standing only on pillars were also be treated as buildings for the purpose of

the survey.

Dwelling unit: It was the accommodation availed of by a household for its residential

purpose. It might be an entire structure or a part thereof or consisting of more than one

structure. There might be cases of more than one household occupying a single

structure as those living in independent flats or sharing a single housing unit, in which

case, there would be as many dwelling units as the number of households sharing the

structure. There might also be cases of one household occupying more than one

structure (i.e. detached structures for sitting, sleeping, cooking, bathing, etc) for its

housing accommodation. In this case, all the structures together constituted a single

dwelling unit. In general, a dwelling unit consisted of living room, kitchen, store, bath,

latrine, garage, open and closed veranda etc. A structure or a portion thereof used

exclusively for non-residential purposes or let out to other households did not form

part of the dwelling unit of the household under consideration. However, a portion of a

structure used for both residential and non-residential purposes was treated as part of

the dwelling unit except when the use of such portion for residential purpose was very

nominal. The dwelling unit covered all pucca, semi-pucca and katcha structures used

by a household. Households living more or less regularly under bridges, in pipes,

under staircase, in purely temporary flimsy improvisations built by the road side

(which were liable to be removed at any moment) etc., were considered to have no

dwelling.

Pucca structure: A pucca structure was one whose walls and roofs are made of pucca

materials such as cement, concrete, oven burnt bricks, hollow cement / ash bricks,

stone, stone blocks, jack boards (cement plastered reeds), iron, zinc or other metal

sheets, timber, tiles, slate, corrugated iron, asbestos cement sheet, veneer, plywood,

artificial wood of synthetic material and poly vinyl chloride (PVC) material.

Katcha structure: A structure which had walls and roof made of non-pucca materials

was regarded as a katcha structure. Non-pucca materials included unburnt bricks,

bamboo, mud, grass, leaves, reeds, thatch, etc. Katcha structures could be of the

following two types:

(a) Unserviceable katcha structure included all structures with thatch walls and

thatch roof, i.e., walls made of grass, leaves, reeds, etc. and roof of a similar material

and

(b) Serviceable katcha structure included all katcha structures other than

unserviceable katcha structures.

Page 136: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

Semi-pucca structure: A structure which could not be classified as a pucca or a

katcha structure as per definition was a semi-pucca structure. Such a structure had

either the walls or the roof but not both made of pucca materials.

Independent house: An independent house was one which had a separate structure

and entrance with self-contained arrangements. In other words, if the dwelling unit and

the entire structure of the house were physically the same, it was considered as an

independent house. In some parts, particularly in rural areas, two or more structures

together might constitute a single housing unit. While the main residence might be in

one of the structures, the other structures might be used for sleeping, sitting and for

store, bath etc. In all such cases, all the structures together formed a single housing

unit and were treated as an independent house.

Flat: A flat, generally, was a part of the building and had one or more rooms with self-

contained arrangements and normal housing facilities like water supply, latrine, toilet,

etc., which were used exclusively by the household residing therein or jointly with

other households. It also included detached room or rooms with or without other

housing facilities.

Room: A room was a constructed area with walls or partitions on all side with at least

one door way and a roof overhead. Wall / partition meant a continuous solid structure

(except for the doors, windows, ventilators, air-holes, etc.) extending from floor to

ceiling. A constructed space with grill or net on one or more sides in place of wall or

partition was not treated as a room. In case of conical shaped structures in which the

roof itself was built to the floor level, the roof was also regarded as wall.

Living room: A room with floor area (carpet area) of at least 4 square metres, a height

of at least 2 metres from the floor to the highest point in the ceiling and used for living

purposes was considered as a living room. Thus, rooms used as bedroom, sitting room,

prayer room, dining room, servant’s room - all were considered as living rooms

provided they satisfied the size criterion. Kitchen, bathroom, latrine, store, garage etc.

were not living rooms. A room which was used in common for living purpose and as

kitchen or store was also considered as living room.

Other room: It was a room which does not satisfy the specification of 4 square metres

floor area and 2 metres height from the floor to the highest point of the ceiling or a

room which though satisfied the specification was not used for living purposes. A

room which satisfied the size criterion when shared by more than one household or

when used for both residential and business purposes was treated as other room.

Veranda: It is a roofed space often without a door adjacent to living/other room. It is

generally used as an access to the room(s) and is not walled from all sides. In other

words, at least one side of such space is either open or walled only to some height or

protected by grill, net, etc. A veranda was considered as a ‘covered veranda’, if it was

protected from all sides and an ‘uncovered veranda’, if was not protected at least from

any one of the sides. A covered veranda might have a door also. Corridor or passage

within the dwelling unit was treated as portion of a room or a veranda depending on its

layout. However, veranda did not cover a common corridor or passage used mainly as

an access to the dwelling itself.

Page 137: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

Earner of a household, place of work and maximum distance travelled by the

earner: A household member with earning either from economic activities and/or

from non-economic activities was considered as an earner in the household. Place of

work meant a place where the activities, considering both the economic and non-

economic activities together, were performed by the earners. Distance meant the one

way actual distance from residence to the place of work normally travelled by the

earner.

Major source of drinking: Information in respect of the household’s major source of

drinking water during the last 365 days was collected. Since a household might have

used more than one source of drinking water, provision was made to record two such

sources. First major source was the one that related to that source of drinking water

which was used most by the household and the second major source was the one

which was the next most used source of drinking water. The classifications of the

sources of drinking water of the household were as follows: bottled water, tap, tube

well/hand pump, well: protected, unprotected, tank/pond (reserved for drinking), other

tank/pond, river/canal/lake/spring, harvested rainwater, others.

Bottled water: Drinking water packaged in bottles, pouches, and similar containers

were classified as ‘bottled water’. Generally this packaged drinking water conformed

to certain safety standards and were considered safe for drinking. However, tap water,

well water, etc., kept by households in bottles, for convenience, was not be treated as

bottled drinking water.

Well: A ‘well’ was considered as protected, if it had generally the following protective

measures to lower the risk of contamination: 1) A headwall around the well with a

properly fitting cover, 2) A concrete drainage platform around the well with a drainage

channel, 3) A hand pump or bucket with windlass.

A ‘well’ without the protective measures to lower the risk of contamination was

considered an ‘unprotected well’. Rainwater harvesting was the gathering or

accumulating and storing of rainwater. Traditionally, rainwater harvesting is practiced

in arid and semi-arid areas, and had provided drinking water, domestic water, water

for livestock, etc. The other codes are self-explanatory.

Sufficiency of drinking water: This information was collected in respect of the most

often used source. Thus, information was collected on whether availability of drinking

water was sufficient throughout the year from the first source (most often used

source). However, for collecting this information, the investigator had to depend on

the judgement of the informant. For the households which did not get sufficient

drinking water throughout the year from the first source (most often used source),

information was collected regarding the calendar months of the year during which

availability of drinking water was not sufficient from the first source.

Type of use of drinking water facility:For the households which had more than one

sources of drinking water, information for this item related to the first source (most

often used source). Information was recorded regarding whether the household’s first

source of drinking water was for: a) household’s exclusive use; if the source was for

the exclusive use of the household, b) common use of households in the building; if the

Page 138: HOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus …nirdpr.org.in/nird_docs/srsc/srsc-pub-020517-2.pdfHOUSING CONDITION IN INDIA With special focus on Rural Areas and Socially Disadvantaged

source was shared by the households with one of more households in the building, c)

community use; if for use of households in the locality or, d) others.

Facility of bathroom: Information about the bathroom facility available to the

members of the household was recorded as follows: a) attached bathroom: b) detached

bathroom and c) no bathroom. If the dwelling unit had no bathroom in its premises, it

was considered as having no bathroom. If the dwelling unit had one or more

bathrooms attached to the dwelling unit (i.e., with direct access from its rooms,

veranda or corridor) it was treated as with attached bathroom. On the other hand, if

the dwelling unit had a bathroom in its premises but not attached to dwelling unit it

was considered as detached bathroom.

Type of use of latrine facility: Information was collected on whether the household’s

latrine facility was for its exclusive use or shared with one or more households in the

building or for use of households in the locality or whether the household had no

latrine facility. If the latrine facility was for exclusive use of the household, these were

classified as for exclusive use of household. If the latrine facility was shared by the

household with one or more households in the building, these were classified as

shared latrine with other household(s). If the latrine facility was for use of the

households in the locality, or was for a specific section of people, these were treated as

public/community latrine. If the household had no access to latrine facility, i.e., if its

members used open area as latrine, these were treated as having no latrine.

Type of latrine (viz., flush, septic tank, pit latrine and service latrine): A latrine

connected to underground sewerage system was called flush system latrine. A latrine

connected to underground septic chambers was considered as a septic tank latrine. A

latrine connected to a pit dug in earth was called a pit latrine. In a few areas, one might

still come across latrines that were serviced by scavengers. These were called service

latrines.

Electricity for domestic use: Information was collected on whether the household

had electricity facilities for domestic use. The use of the electricity for domestic use

might be for lighting or cooking or for both. Moreover, electricity might be used

legally or illegally and the electricity might be supplied to the household either

through public agencies, corporations or by private suppliers. However, if the

household made its own arrangement, either through generator or solar panel, to

generate electricity, the household was not considered as having electricity for

domestic use.

.

Condition of structure: Condition of structure meant the physical condition of the

structure of the house. The specific types of conditions in which the house was

classified were: a) good, b) satisfactory, c) bad. If the structure did not require any

immediate repairs, major or minor, it was regarded as in ‘good’ condition. If the

structure required immediate minor repairs but not major repairs, it was regarded as in

‘satisfactory’ condition. If the structure of the building required immediate major

repairs without which it might be unsafe for habitation or required to be demolished

and rebuilt, it was regarded as in ‘bad’ condition.

Ventilation of the dwelling unit: Information as to whether, in general, ventilation of

the dwelling unit was good, satisfactory or bad was collected. Ventilation meant the

extent to which the rooms were open to air and light. Ventilation of all the rooms in

the dwelling unit was considered. For assessing the situation the following guidelines

were followed: (i) If the majority of the rooms had two or more windows with

arrangement for cross ventilation, the dwelling unit was considered as having ‘good’

ventilation. (ii) If the majority of the rooms had two or more windows without having

any arrangement for cross ventilation or if majority of the living rooms had only a

single window each with proper arrangement for cross ventilation, the dwelling unit

was considered to have a ‘satisfactory’ ventilation arrangement.

(iii) If the majority of the rooms had no window or had only one window each

without

any arrangement for cross ventilation, the dwelling unit was considered to have ‘bad’

ventilation. However, in some cases, if the rooms of the dwelling unit had no proper

ventilation, as per the criteria mentioned above, but the rooms had proper air-

conditioning facility, such cases were considered as ‘good’ ventilation.

Drainage arrangement: Drainage arrangement meant a system for carrying off waste

water and liquid waste of the house. It may be noted that if no system existed to carry

off the waste water of the house, but water flowed down by its own gravity, in an

unregulated manner, it was considered as no drainage.

Garbage collection arrangement: Garbage collection arrangement meant the

arrangement which usually exist to carry away the refuse and waste of households to

some dumping place away from the residential areas. In some places, the public bodies

collected the garbage from the premises of the household or from some fixed points in

the locality where the residents put their garbage; in others, a body of residents

themselves made the arrangement of carrying the garbage to the final dumping place

away from residential areas without participation of any public body.

Animal shed: Animal shed for the purpose of this survey, meant a structure where

livestock (cattle, buffalo, horse, goat, pig, etc. but not poultry and pets) were sheltered.

If there was no animal shed within 100 feet of the house (even on the adjacent plots) it

was considered as having no animal shed. If there was an animal shed in the house or

attached to the house, it was considered as a house with attached animal shed. If there

was an animal shed within 100 feet of the house but not within / attached to, it was

identified as a house with detached animal shed. It was not necessary that the animals

and / or the shed was owned or possessed by any household in the house.

Experience of flood during last 5 years: If rain water during monsoon and / or water

from sea, river, etc., entered into the ground floor of the house, or though water did not

enter the house but the house was surrounded by water for some days then the house

was considered to have experienced flood.
