Sushma Nain & Kiran Devi

A good living standard depends on access to basic facilities, including electricity, drainage, drinking water, and sanitary facilities. In India, the development of numerous policies and initiatives has placed a strong emphasis on these demands due to their importance. This paper analyzes housing inequality in Haryana, highlighting the significance of housing conditions as key determinants of health. Access to adequate housing and basic amenities is crucial for improving public health. In this context, we examine the distribution of housing and essential facilities, including housing type, kitchen availability, cooking fuel, drinking water access and source, electrification, toilet facilities, drainage, and residential surroundings. The findings reveal an unequal distribution of housing conditions. While the Indian government has made efforts under the Sustainable Development Goals to enhance access to safe drinking water and sanitation, a significant gap remains between policy goals and actual living conditions. This study is based on primary data collected from a sample of 400 respondents across six districts of Haryana, selected using a multistage random sampling method. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test with the help of spss.
