Abstract

This paper investigates the household consumption pattern in rural Odisha, India during December - January 2019-20 for a basket of 53 commodities. Both in rural and urban areas, cereals, edible oil, vegetables, spices, fuel and light are found to be treated as necessities. We observe the differential impact of household size on household consumption patterns in the study area. We study the consumption of five key nutrients, namely, calories, proteins, carbohydrates, calcium and Iron. We also show the demographic factors such as gender, and caste which matter for nutrition.
