An increasing trend has been seen in India with how many households have toilet facilities. Although the Indian government has built more toilets, Indians do not necessarily use them, and continue to openly defecate for a variety of reasons - poor quality or non-functioning toilets, reluctance to deviate from cultural norms, poverty, and government corruption. For example, despite having access to a toilet, about 522 million people practised open defecation in India in 2014. 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 25.21% in 2019. According to a 2019 report, referring to 2017 data, 25.21% of the country has achieved ODF Status and has full access to toilets.
