The present paper makes an attempt to explore the poverty in Haryana and also explore the inequality in deprivation of basic standard of living among the various districts of Haryana. The study gives a comparative picture of all the districts in terms of 8 selected standard of living indicators. It reveals wide disparities among the districts. Some districts are better in term of the standard of living, while other districts are deprived in standard of living. Therefore, the present study examines the districts level inequity in Haryana. The combined rural and urban scenario on standard of living pushes Ambala to the fourth position in the combined group of high standards while it was at the top in rural living high standards group and pushed backward to position eight in the urban moderate living standards group. Similarly, Kurukshetra district belonged to different standard of living group, that is, at the top 9th position in urban high standard context, 4 second place in the same group in rural standards context; and much down to the eight place drifting itself to moderate group in the rural-urban combined standard of living context. Interestingly, the only district that could keep itself intact with the high standard group is Gurgaon topping the combined rural urban context and retaining the third position each in rural as well as urban area contexts.
