Availability of household amenities is considered important to determine the quality of life. It
is an important indicator of lifestyle, social welfare and socio-economic status of people. In modern life, household assets are both the signs of social status and instruments for a better life. But even today, majority of Indians have been deprived of standard housing, without access to basic minimum facilities of drinking water, sanitation and public hygiene etc. The inadequacy of these amenities in an area is not only the outcome of demand supply gap but lack of financial resources; policy intervention and inefficiency of institutions. Present paper has made an attempt to compare the availability of selected household amenities in rural and urban households at district level in Haryana. Five selected basic amenities such as availability of kitchen (inside house), drinking water (within premises), bathroom (within premises), latrine (within premises) and electricity have been taken for analysis. Study is based on secondary source of data at district level obtained from Census of India, 2011. It shows that there is large difference in availability of household amenities between rural and urban areas. In general, the availability of these five selected amenities is lesser in the rural households than their urban counterparts. Variations are also found in availability of these household amenities across various districts in the state of Haryana.
