              Family is a basic unit of social structure, the exact definition of which can vary greatly from time to time and from culture to culture. Anthropologists define Family as a group of two or more people related by blood, marriage or adoption who live or reside together for an extended period sharing economic resources and caring for their young. This paper will discuss about the recent trends in family among the three Meitei villages of Cachar district of Assam. This paper will also include the family composition, that is who lives with whom and how large these units are and the reason associated with the increase in number of nuclear households.
