    Dear friends,

    I wonder if Delhi is in some other planet? I wish someone can come and look at some of the slums Katha works in. No child should live in such inhuman unhygienic environments. Yet, as citizens, we are so unable to ask questions about what is said in reports and somehow government reports always come out as being right. Maybe they are not?

    Regards,

    Shanthi

    Only improvements are highlighted. The survey does not reveal slippages.
    When it comes to drinking water – Nearly a quarter of urban households in the country do not have drinking water supply within their premises. AAP\’s populist measure- free water supply- in Delhi does not touch this category excepting through Tankers. Slums are worse off. One hopes AAP has solutions for all the problems.
    Over 46 per cent of households in rural India and 77 per cent of households in urban India had drinking water sources within their premises.
    How many toilets in rural India are being used as toilets?
    When it comes to child marriages, the data indicate reductions in numbers / percentages. UNICEF report(2012-13) on child marriages is at variance with NSSO\’s report. Trends seem same. Analysis of data is what we should not miss.
    What statistics reveals is interesting and what it hides is important.
