It also aims to explore the factors affecting the household basic amenities in some areas. This study utilizes a national representative data of NFHS -4 (2015-16). A simple cross tabulation method was used to analyse the data. A household basic amenity index has been computed with help of six explanatory variables. A binary logistic regression model has been applied to see the effect of explanatory variables on the dependent variable i.e., household basic amenity index. The results indicate that there was acute shortage of household basic amenities in rural India. The findings also suggest that there was disparity in household basic amenities with social groups, religious groups and wealth index. For sound health and descent life, household basic amenities are essential. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
