List of the Indian States and UT. An increasing trend has been seen in India with how many households have toilet facilities (10% in 2019). However, a report from National Statistical Office found this data controversial stating  More than a quarter of households surveyed in rural India (in 2017) didn't have access to a toilet. But it's important to highlight a caveat about its findings: the report says the question about access to toilets was asked straight after a question about receiving state benefits. "There may be an inherent tendency to give a negative reply to these questions," it says, in the expectation "that this may help get additional benefits through government schemes". Kerala, Mizoram, and Lakshadweep State/UT have a higher number of households having toilet facilities in both 2001 and 2011 in comparison  to other states. Lakshadweep has the highest households having toilet facilities 89.2% in 2001, 97.8% in 2011, and 100% in 2017. Seven states viz. Bihar, Odisha, Assam, Goa, and Tripura are below the national estimate of 98.21% in 2019. According to 2019 data, 98.21% of the country has achieved ODF Status and has full access to toilets.
