Summary, etc In this article, an attempt is made to explore the regional differences of housing environment in India. This study is based on the 69th round of the National Sample Survey conducted in 2012. Data discloses that majority of the households in western and northern part of the nation received the drinking water through ‘pipe’ supply (68.9 and 67.2%, respectively). Getting the drinking water outside premises was more common among the eastern (56.2%), central (48.6%) and southern (47.1%) parts of India. The practice of treating the water by one or more methods before drinking was not a common practice in most of the regions of the country. More than three-fifths of the households in central and eastern regions did not access the bathroom facility (62.0% and 66.9%, respectively). Similarly, more than half of the households in these regions had no latrine facility (56.7% and 50.4%, respectively). Among the regions, the west region had good garbage management system than the rest of regions. It can be concluded that the regional differences are noticed in respect of the housing environments. It is recommended that the regional specific schemes/plans should be adopted to remove the regional differences to improve the overall quality of life of Indians.
