Abstract: 'Inflation'-the word has economic social and political dimension. For a layman inflation means the rise in prices. In a country like India price changes exert a major influence on the lives of people. Inflation is probably the biggest bottleneck that is faced by India and other developing countries in the path of economic growth. High rate of inflation was remained untamed for a long time. And it had taken a toll on India's Aam Aadmi [common people].Opinion survey in India reveals that inflation is the most important concern of middle-class and poor households and it badly affects their standard of living and consumption and inflation in food by its very nature is the enemy of poor households. Even though urbanization is happening at a rapid pace, a major portion of the population still lives in rural area. No much intense studies have been done on the impact of inflation considering rural households. At this juncture this paper is an attempt to study the impact of inflation on rural households with low and middle income. It has been revealed that Inflation, particularly food inflation effects consumption pattern, Savings pattern and standard of living of households especially poor households to some extent.
