OTHER FACILITIES INDEX
10.18 'Other facilities' index captures the availability of kitchen, kitchen with a water tap, good
ventilation in house, access to bathroom, attached bathroom, electricity use, the types of wiring
used instead of temporary electric wiring, and type of fuel used for cooking (LPG or others).
10.19 Access to Other-facilities for a household has improved for all States in 2018 compared
to 2012 for rural as well as in urban areas except for Himachal Pradesh in urban (Figure 19).
The inter-states disparities in terms of these facilities have also declined, especially in the urban
areas (Figure 20). The equity in access to other facilities has improved in rural and urban areas
(Figure 21). The gaps are still high across the State in rural, between rural and urban in States,
between income groups, and between rural and urban in income groups.
