It may be seen from
the above simple calculations that in the eight EAG States, urban population is
over 117.3 million and they form about 23.5 million households. About eighty and a half percent of them are having
access to Toilet Facility i.e. over 4.6 million urban households or about 22.6
million people are still defecating in the open. It could also be observed that in the hill
state of Uttarakhand, it is merely 4.6 percent of the households live in such a
condition. Chhattishgarh followed by Odisha,
Bihar, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh are worst placed in this respect.
