Title: Regional analysis of sanitation performance in India
Abstract: India bears a disproportionate burden of open defecation in spite of investing
	 more and more funds and ushering in several institutional efforts including
	 the Swachh Bharat Mission in the recent past. A large share of rural households
	 still lack basic sanitation facilities in India and members practice open defecation.
	 Thia study endeavours to examine the existing anomaly between meagre sanitation
	 productivity and enhanced resource allocation in rural sanitation in India.
	 The study attempts to develop an instrument to monitor the differential regional
	 performances across India.
Keywords:  Performance Index, Efficiency, Equity, Equality, Swachh Bharat Mission, SDG,
	 Sustainable Development Goals.
