This paper, by using consecutive NFHS data (1992 and 1999), attempts to estimate levels of deprivation based on possessions at the household level of some basic amenities of life. It examines changes in levels of deprivation, categorised as `abject deprivation', `moderate deprivation', `just above deprivation' and `well above deprivation' across Indian states and also analyses changes in terms of caste and religion. - Reproduced.
