A recent large-scale survey on sanitation in India raises more questions than it answers

Bengaluru:
India has built more toilets over the past two years than it did in the previous five years, if the latest official sanitation survey is to be believed. The National Annual Rural Sanitation Survey (NARSS) conducted between November 2017 and March 2018 shows that 75% of rural households in the country have access to toilets, a 29 percentage point jump over what the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2015-16 reported.

Both NFHS and NARSS are government-backed surveys conducted in league with multilateral donor organizations such as United Nations Population Fund (UNPF) and World Bank, respectively. NARSS interviewed 92,000 households across the country while the NFHS surveyed a much larger sample of 601,509 households.

A comparison of disaggregated NFHS and census 2011 data shows that between 2011 and 2015-16, the share of households with exclusive access to toilets rose 9 percentage points to 37%. But a comparison of NFHS and NARSS data shows that between 2015-16 and 2017-18, the share of such households rose a whopping 27 percentage points to 64%.
