<p>As India strives for development and economic growth inclusively among all segments of society, a detailed examination of disparities in access to basic amenities is essential to address social, economic, and environmental challenges that hinder the development process. This study aims to identify and categorize areas in India that lack household amenities. The conditions i) households without access to drinking water, ii) households without toilets, iii) households without electricity, iv) households without drainage, v) kachha type households, and vi) households classified as the poorest in the NFHS 2019–2021 data are examined. The spatial clustering of the chosen conditions is confirmed through Global Moran’s I. Getis-Ord Gi⋆ hotspot analysis is used to detect local spatial clustering. Further, the frequency of hot spots is calculated in each district and classified according to the level of deprivation. The district-wise analysis reveals that India’s northeast and the east are hotspots for deprivation. Based on an examination of India’s states and union territories, Jharkhand ranks the most deprived, followed by West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Meghalaya. The result also shows regional variations in deprivation across different states of India which can be attributed to reasons such as state government plans. Identifying these disparities can guide policymakers to enhance living standards and the overall well-being of the country. This study could help allocate resources more effectively and target the most deprived sections of society.</p>
