Impact of Indoor Piped Drinking Water on Educational Outcomes in Rural India

Author(s) Baliram Kumar

Abstract This paper estimates the effect of the presence of indoor piped drinking water on the educational outcomes of children in rural India. This paper uses the IHDS-II (2011-2012) data. The main result suggests that the presence of indoor drinking water has a positive and significant effect on the educational outcomes of children for various demographic individuals and household controls. In particular, the presence of indoor water in households increases the study time of children by around 103 minutes per week. In households where the burden of fetching water from outside is disproportionately borne by women, child outcomes are significantly lower, particularly for girls.
