    Question

    According to government data, India has become

    defecation free, but according to recent data how much percentage of households in rural area are still deprived of toilets?
    A 0.5 % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 0.6% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 0.7% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 0.8% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 1.2% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The claim that India is 100 per cent open-defecation-free raises many questions. The National Annual Rural Sanitation Survey, 2019-2020, showed that 0.8 per cent of the population in rural areas had no toilets and practiced open defecation; the figure was 6.8 per cent in 2018-2019; and 23 per cent in 2017-2018.
