NEW DELHI—Indian census data has revealed that more homes in the country of 1.2 billion people have a telephone than a toilet.
The figures, collected during the 2011 census, shed a light on how India’s rapid communication revolution has spread through society but that basic sanitation is still scarce.
Data unveiled late Tuesday said 47 percent of the country’s 330 million households have toilet facilities, but that 63 percent of homes have telephone connections — mostly mobiles.
