According to Census of India
A household is usually a group of
persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common
kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from doing so.
Persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both.
However, if a group of unrelated persons live in a census house but do not
take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of a
common household. Each such person should be treated as a separate
household. The important link in finding out whether it is a household or not,
is a common kitchen. There may be one member households, two member
households or multi-member households.

According to the Report on the Nepal Labour Force Survey
1998/99.
A
household is defined as a group of people who normally live
and eat their meals together. Here, normally means that the
person concerned has lived in the household for at least six
of the past 12 months. A member of the household is
identified on the basis of his or her usual place of residence.
A person living alone and making his or her own meal
arrangements is counted as a separate household.

According to the HOUSEHOLD INTEGRATED ECONOMIC
SURVEY (Pakistan Bureau of Statistics Islamabad)
A household may either be a single
person household or a multi-person household. A single person
household is one where the individual makes provision for His/her
own food and other essentials of living, without combining it with any
other Person and without any usual place of residence elsewhere. A
multi-person household is a group of two or more persons who
make some Common provision for food or other essentials of living
and who are without usual place of residence elsewhere. The
persons constituting the group may pool their incomes and have a
common budget to a greater or lesser extent; they may be related
or unrelated or a combination of both. The general criterion to be
used in identifying the members of a multi-person household relates
to whether they live and eat together and have no usual place of
residence elsewhere.

According to HOUSEHOLD INCOME & EXPENDITURE
SURVEY2009/10 (Department of Census & Statistics Sri Lanka)
A household may be a one-person
household or a multi person household. A one-person household is a unit
where a person lives by himself and makes separate provision for his
food, either cooking himself or purchasing. A multi person household is a
group of two or more persons who lives together and has a common
arrangement for cooking and partaking food. Boarders and servants who
share the meals and housing facilities with other members of the
household are also considered as members of the household.

According to US bureau of the census 2000
A household includes all the
persons who occupy a housing unit. A housing unit is a house, an
apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is
occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living
quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and
eat separately from any other persons in the building and which have direct
access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. The
occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more
families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated persons
who share living arrangements. (People not living in households are
classified as living in group quarters

The Indian economy is the fourth largest economy of the world on the
basis of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). It is one of the most attractive
destinations for business and investment opportunities due to huge
manpower base, diversified natural resources and strong macroeconomic fundamentals. Also, the process of economic reforms initiated
since 1991 has been providing an investor-friendly environment through
a liberalized policy framework spanning the whole economy.
INDIAN RURAL ECONOMY:
As per the 2011 Census, over 70 per cent of the total Indian population
resides in villages and rural areas. Rural development, thus, has become
an integral part of development schemes and gained paramount
significance in the Five Year Plans. Constant efforts are being made by
the Central and State governments for upliftment of the rural society, as
well as, to remodel and revolutionize the rural living standards across the
country. Further, in order to bridge the gaps between rural and urban
India, the Government has also invited the private sectors to participate
in the nation building process for bringing about changes in the rural
scenario. In India, rural development is an integrated effort to eliminate
poverty, and sustain growth across all rural sectors. This includes setting
up basic infrastructure and facilities such as medical facilities, schools,
and transport facilities, apart from scheme implementation related to
improving rural employment, agricultural productivity and rural
industrialization.

EXISTING PATTERNS OF
DISTRIBUTION OF OWNERSHIP AND
OPERATIONAL LAND HOLDINGS
According to 59th Round of National Sample Survey
(NSSO, 2006a) nearly 6.6 percent of the rural households
in India do not own any land, while about 3.4 percent
households own on average 0.002 hectare only. These two
categories of rural households are generally categorized
as landless. Considering the landless and marginal
households having less than 1 hectare land, about 79.6
percent households at the bottom own only 23.0 percent of
the total area, while 3.6 percent households having land
above 4 hectares, own 34.7 percent of the total area.
Nearly 10.8 percent are small farm households in the size
group of 1 to 2 hectare which own 20.4 percent of the
total area and 6.0 percent are semi-medium farm
households in the size group of 2 to 4 hectares that own
22.0 percent of the total area.
