States/UTs by employing the data at State level. As Telangana did not exist in 2011, data is not
available for the State in 2011; however, the maps show the index value for the combined State of
Andhra Pradesh in 2011. The indicators selected are the most desirable options and relevant for
public policy targets from the possible and recorded options. The index is constructed at two points
of time – 2012 and 2018 – using 26 indicators on five dimensions viz., water, sanitation, housing,
micro-environment, and other facilities (Table 1).

Table 1: Details of Indicators (all in per cent of Households)
