Bihar reported the highest prevalence of the disease  

A higher proportion of children under the age of five in the villages had diarrhoea than their counterparts in the cities in 17 of the 22 Indian states and Union territories (UT) covered by the 2019-2020 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5).

This urban-rural gap was significant in Maharastra — in the two weeks prior to the survey, 6.6 per cent children in the urban areas and 10.7 per cent in the rural areas had the disease.

The western state was followed by Gujarat where 5.7 per cent children in the cities and 9.7 per cent in the villages contracted diarrhoea.

Bihar reported the highest rural (12.6 per cent) and urban (13.9 per cent) prevalence among major states.
