*Per cent contribution has been calculated as the ratio of the contribution of the covariate and the sum of the absolute contribution of covariates under the propensity, composition and interaction components multiplied by 100.
NSS, National Sample Survey; SC/STs, Scheduled castes/scheduled tribes.
