As a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary, India has set a target of making all gram panchayats 'Open Defecation Free' by the year 2019 under the 'Swachh Bharat Initiative'. Exclusive information/analysis on use of latrine and various socio-economic factors influencing the use of latrine in rural India is required for having a sound policy framework. In view of this an attempt has been made to study the influence of socio-economic factors like social group, religion, gender of head of households, highest level of education among female and male members of households, family size and occupation of the households on the probability of use of latrine by the households. In this study binary logistic regression technique has been applied on the unit level data of survey on "Drinking Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Housing Condition" in India conducted by National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), Government of India, during July, 2012 to December, 2012. The study reveals that the selected socio-economic factors (except gender of head of households) do have a significant impact on the probability of use of latrine of the households in rural India.References

This paper attempts to find out the factors that influence the owning of a latrine. For this purpose, unit level NSSO data of 69th round, collected exclusively to get an idea of this, has been used. On the extracted unit data, Multinomial Logistic Regression Model has been applied. Different sets of socio-economic and governance indicators are chosen as the predictors. Based on the available questions, the type of latrine has been divided into three categories-latrine exclusively use for household. Second one clubs different types of latrines to form as fixed point latrines. The third one is categorised as no latrine. In running MLR, no latrine is considered as reference category. All the predictors, starting from religion, region, location, caste and economic conditions have positive and significant impact on owning a latrine. Therefore, the latrine problem, usually being typed as only traditional and cultural problem, needs to look from holistic angle and it is recommended that while designing public policy all these factors are considered to mitigate the problem.References
