Key Points

To determine the socio-economic and demographic factors that significantly influence household access to basic amenities, including drinking water, drainage, and waste management, across rural hilly regions.
Extracted and analyzed village-level secondary data from the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) database for Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Performed multiple linear regression and non-parametric statistical tests using socio-economic and demographic metrics as independent variables and basic amenity availability as dependent variables.
In Himachal Pradesh, gender ratio, family annual income, below-poverty-line status, pucca house percentage, and graduate education significantly impacted piped water access, while literacy and higher education dictated compost pit availability.
In Uttarakhand, pucca house prevalence significantly influenced waste collection and compost pit infrastructure, whereas village literacy rates directly determined drainage system presence.
Himachal Pradesh exhibited significantly greater access to drinking water, whereas Uttarakhand outperformed in solid waste management and drainage systems.
