As per the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), 2019-2021, what proportion of households in Bihar live in a pucca house?

Correct answer: (d) One-third

Explanation

According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), 2019–21, only about 34% of households in Bihar live in a pucca house, roughly one-third. About 54% live in semi-pucca houses and the rest in kachcha houses.

Bihar's share of pucca houses is well below the national average, which reflects its low urbanisation and income levels.
