Descriptif
Objectives of the study
The present study has following objectives : 1. To analyze the income and consumption pattern of cultivators in Haryana by their sources. 2. To enquire into the socio-economic factors responsible for the perceived changes in variables over time. 3. To estimate the income elasticity of demand for commodities in Haryana.

Significance of the study
The available studies on consumption pattern are based on secondary data and concentrate on their educational and occupational structure and deal with its effects on their welfare. While studies done on the consumption expenditure of households for various expenditure classes, little effort has been made to study the consumption expenditure pattern in rural sector. These studies highlighted economic and technical aspects and neglected the socio-economic factors responsible for the perceived changes in variables over time. On the other hand the study on household consumption expenditure pattern is very important as it is related to poverty and standard of living of the society. It is necessary to study the change in pattern of food consumption in today’s changing scenario. The analysis of changing consumption pattern over time would help in designing of appropriate policies related to food production and distribution.
