Clean, accessible water and adequate sanitation for everybody is vital for better livelihood. Despite of sufficient water, many people lose their life from disease related to inadequate water system and poor status of sanitation and hygiene. The study was conducted in two districts of Rohtak division namely Sonipat and Karnal by random selection and by selecting one block from each selected district and two villages from each of the selected block at random. It involved 300 small and marginal farm families living at Sonipat and Karnal district, Haryana, as the sample of the research. Data collection was done by doing interview with a structured questionnaire instrument to assess status of shelter/water and sanitation and health security of farm families. Regarding shelter/water and sanitation security, most of farm families (47.0%) were having piped water at home for drinking and cooking. Only one-third (36.3% and 34.3%) of them had separate kitchen with or without water. They used inverter (42.3%) and solar lantern (40.6%) as source of lighting. About health security, most of households (58.0%) faced frequent illness and 56.3 per cent farm households could afford professional treatment with some difficulty.
