Synopsis
As per the Survey, while improvements in access to bare necessities are evident, the disparities in access to bare necessities continue to exist between rural-urban, among income groups and also across states.

The access has also improved disproportionately more for the poorest households when compared to the richest households across rural and urban areas, the survey found.
Government needs to design appropriate strategies and undertake effective targeting to minimise the disparities that exist between rural and urban India in accessing bare necessities including water, housing, sanitation and other facilities, the Economic Survey 2020-21 said. This will help India achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) by 2030, it said.

In this regard, the Census of India, one of the largest exercises of its kind, enumerates and collects demographic and socio-economic information on the Indian population. However, no data exists in a vacuum. It has its own history, context and purpose.
