INTRODUCTION
The present study has been carried out by Agro Economic Research Centre, HP
University, Shimla and has been completely funded by Sanjay Jal Vidyut Nigam,
Shimla. The study aims at highlighting the socio-economic conditions of the project
affected families as a result of construction of Rampur Hydro Electric Project
(RHEP), as well as the families which are likely to be affected by the project
activities in near future. The RHEP is proposed to be constructed on the right bank
of river Satluj in district Kullu near to Rampur town. The land is to be acquired for
the construction of project infrastructure and other activities.

METHODOLOGY
The primary and secondary data was collected on selected indicators in respect of
persons living in the project vicinity who will be directly or indirectly affected as a
result of project activities. The data was collected on specifically designed
schedules, separately for individual families and for the villages as a whole. The
project affected families (PAF) were located in villages Boyal, Kohil, Dutt Nagar and
Nirmand phatti. The PAF were census surveyed. In addition to this, six villages,
Boyal, Kohil, Dutt Nagar, Nirmand Phatti, Poshna and Tunan having many sub-
villages were studied on the basis of primary as well as secondary data. The data
collection for the study suffered from the agitation going on at that time and the fact
that many respondents didn’t cooperate in the task of data collection.

FINDINGS
The study attempted to highlight the socioeconomic conditions of the target groups
on the basis of primary data collected from individual respondents and also on the
basis of secondary data on the village level. The study indicated fairly high literacy
rate among the sample. Most of the infrastructural facilities were present within the
village and were connected with road. There were some activities like tree

i
plantation and social activities undertaken by groups like youth and mahila mandals.
Most of the economic indicators studied had highest concentration in village
Nirmand and smallest in Boyal which was the result of the size of these villages.
This was true for number of operational holdings and livestock resources among
others. The land utilization pattern indicated a mixed picture with land not available
for cultivation present in some of the villages and absence of non-agricultural uses
in some others. Maize, paddy and wheat were the most important cereal crops and
simultaneously many respondents also had apple and almond orchards. Kuhls
were the only source of irrigation in all the villages. Banks are the important source
of credit and the agricultural inputs are available from block headquarter located at
Nirmand and Rampur for Dutt Nagar. Some of the inputs are also procured from
private traders of Rampur. The study also included the details of economic and
vegetative resources of the selected villages.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction
The Rampur Hydro Electric Project (RHEP) is proposed to be constructed on the
right bank of river Satluj in district Kullu near to Rampur town. The land is to be
acquired for the construction of project infrastructure and other activities. This will
directly or indirectly affect the population requiring the base line survey of such
families for working out the future impact assessment of project activities. The
present study is an attempt in this direction.
Methodology

The scope of the study required the primary and secondary data to be collected on
selected indicators in respect of persons living in the project vicinity who will be
directly or indirectly affected as a result of project activities. The data was collected
on specifically designed schedules, separately for individual families and for the
villages as a whole. The project affected families (PAF) were located in villages
Boyal, Kohil, Dutt Nagar and Nirmand phatti. The PAF were census surveyed and
the village-wise details have been presented in Table-1.1. However, there were four
families which had migrated out of their respective villages and only a very few
information of such families could be gathered from fellow villagers and analyzed.

Reference period

The survey of the study was conducted during April 2005. The data collected from
the households pertain to the agricultural year 2003-2004.

Limitations of the study

Although best efforts have been put in, the study suffers from the following
limitations:

1. During the course of data collection, agitation against the management of the
RHEP/SJVN was going on. Thus, difficulty was faced during the data
collection because of non-cooperation of the target group. Certain sections
of the community refused to reveal the requisite details. The data of such
families is based on the responses of their neighbours, friends, relatives or
other villagers.

2. The data collected could not be cross checked due to this fact and may have
certain inconsistencies despite best efforts on the part of data collection
team.

3. Some of the families have moved out and the details of some aspects of such
families could not be ascertained from the fellow villagers. The data may
also be lacking due to this reason.

4. As per information made available, there are 180 families, which are directly
affected by the project activities. But during the course of study only 145
such families could be identified. This discrepancy has arisen due to the
difference in the definition of family adopted by RHEP. Many families were
identified living together and sharing a common kitchen and hence taken as
single family unit for the study. But as the land has been divided among the
family members and the land records show such lands on the names of
different family members, these have been treated as separate families in the
records.

GENERAL FEATURES OF THE PROJECT AFFECTED VILLAGES

The detailed information about the selected villages under study, viz Koyal, Boyal,
Dutt Nagar, Tunan, Poshna and Nirmand have been presented in the following text.

Infrastructure Facilities

Various infrastructural facilities of the village have been presented in Table-2.1. It

has been analysed whether such facilities are present in the village and if not the
nearest location of such facilities and the distance involved have been presented.
Primary schools are present in all the villages but secondary schools are not.
Similarly, the facilities of bank, post office and telephone are not available in all the
villages. Most of the health related facilities are present only in Nirmand, may it be
human or veterinary. The details of other facilities may be referred to from the table.

Socio-Economic Features

The socio-Economic features of selected villages based on 2001 census data have
been presented in Table-2.2. The analysis reveals that village Nirmand is the
largest village having a total population of 6200 and village Boyal, the smallest with
a total population of 636 persons only. The table also provides the details of village
wise number of males, females and children. Highest literacy percentage of about
82 per cent was found in village Poshna whereas village Tunan was at the bottom in
this respect, with the literacy percentage of about 62 per cent. The table also
presents the details of SC and ST population along-with families covered under the
development programmes like IRDP, IAY and SJRY.

Activities Under Community/Social Groups

The only groups formed in the selected villages are Yuvak Mandals and Mahila
Mandals (Table -2.3). Yuvak Mandals are present in all the villages where they
have undertaken the activities of tree plantation and others social work. On the
other hand Mahila Mandals have undertaken the responsibilities of popularizing the

4
activities of Vermiculture, which has benefited many persons in village Boyal. In
Duttnagar the Mahila Mandal has educated about 150 women for undertaking the
social work. In Tunan the Mahila Mandal has established a community kitchen and
in Nirmand the Mandal has constructed a community hall for organizing various
social events.

Occupational Structure

The analysis of occupational structure of the residents of selected villages reveals

that highest number of workers are in village Nirmand, Table -2.4. The table further
presents the details of sex-wise main workers, cultivators, marginal workers and
non-workers. The highest numbers of these are invariably found in Nirmand and
smallest in Boyal, which apparently are determined by the size of population.

Livestock Resources

The information regarding livestock resources has been drawn from veterinary
hospital, Nirmand (Table -2.5) and it is indicated that village Tunan has highest
number of draught animals (190) followed by Nirmand and Poshna with figures of
184 and 176 respectively. Village Nirmand has highest number of cows (1883)
followed by Tunan (1140) and Dutt Nagar (315). Buffaloes are reared in Boyal, Dutt
Nagar, Nirmand and Poshna. The number of goat/sheep has been observed to be
quite low in villages like Koyal, Boyal and Dutt Nagar. The piggery is present only in
village Boyal and poultry in Koyal and Boyal.

Operational Holdings

The details of operational holdings in selected villages, based on village revenue

records, have been presented in Table -2.6 indicating that highest number of
operational holdings, 819 covering an area of about 631 hectares was in Nirmand.
This was followed by Tunan having 771 holdings spread over an area of 515
hectares and Poshna heaving 451 holdings covering an area of about 250 hectares.
The lowest number of operational holdings was in Boyal with 87 holdings in an area
of 43 hectares. The size-wise details about number of area of operational holdings
can also be referred to from this table.

Land Utilization Pattern

Village Nirmand is the largest village having a total geographical area, as per
village papers, of 1102 hectares and this is followed by Dutt Nagar and Tunan.
Village Boyal has the smallest geographical area, 76 hectares (Table-2.7). There
was low area under forests in any of the villages. Except for village Koyal there was
some area ‘not available for cultivation’ and Nirmand topped in this respect. There
was no area under non-agricultural uses in Boyal and Poshna. Barren and
uncultivable land was present only in Koyal, Boyal and Dutt Nagar. Dutt Nagar was
only village heaving land under permanent pastures and other grazing lands, 539
hectares of land was under this category. Dutt Nagar also had 11 hectares of area
under miscellaneous tree crops and groves. Fallow land was present only in Koyal
and Tunan. This table also presents the details of total crop area, net area sown
and irrigated area etc.

Cropping Pattern

The analysis of cropping pattern (Table-2.8) reveals that maize and paddy are the
most common kharif crops followed by black gram. Other crops grown in some of
the villages include rajmash, potato, tomato, radish and Kulth etc. In rabi season
wheat is the most common crop grown in all the villages. In some of the villages
barley, peas, gram, mustard, potato and cabbage etc are grown. All the villages
have orchards of apple, almond, plum etc. The villagers of Tunan have orchards,
which are not recorded presently because the orchard area falls under another
panchayat.

Sources of Irrigation

Kuhls are the only source of irrigation in the selected villages, each village heaving
at least one kuhl (Table-2.9). Highest number of kuhls was observed in village
Tunan having three kuhls but irrigating 6 hectares of land. On the other hand Dutt
Nagar has two kuhls, but has a command area of 116 hectares. Village Koyal has
only one kuhl irrigating an area of 74 hectares.

Credit Facilities

The residents of villages under study were reported to be availing all types of loans
from banks and the rate of interest has been reported to be about 9 to 12 per cent

6
(Table-2.10). In addition to this the villagers are reported to be taking consumption
and production loans from other sources like money lenders, traders and relatives,
but no authentic data is available on such lending and hence could not be
presented.

Sources of Agricultural Inputs

The sources of various agricultural inputs like seed, fertilizer, implements and
machinery and insecticides/pesticides, in the selected villages have been presented
in Table -2.11 along-with distance of the source of procurement. The major source
of all the inputs like seed, fertilizer, implement & machinery and
insecticides/pesticides is the office of Block Development. In addition to this
majority of the farmers also retain seed for use in the next crop. Some of the seed
and insecticides/pesticides are also purchased from traders who are located at
Rampur.

Vegetative Resources

The initiatives taken for enhancing the vegetative resources of the villages include
plantation of tree species like sheesham, eucalyptus and chil etc in villages (Table -
2.12).

Economic Resources

The details of economic resources in these villages have been presented in Table
2.13 indicating that there is one tractor and trolley each in village Koyal. This village
also has four threshers. The number of threshers in Boyal, Tunan and Nirmand
were reported to be three, three and five respectively. Nirmand has four water flour
mills and Koyal has two flour mills. There are two Khadi Gramodyog units in village
Tunan and three such units are in Nirmand. Nirmand also has three cotton ginning
units.

PROFILE OF PROJECT AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS

General Information

In all the selected villages there were 145 households, which are directly affected by
the project activities. All these households have been selected and census
surveyed for the detailed study. Out of these 39 households belong to SC/ST
category and the rest 106 belong to general category (Table -3.1). All these
households belong to Hindu religion. Although, all the households speak Hindi but
36 percent of the SC/ST and seven percent households of general category insisted
that Pahari should be recorded as their mother tongue along-with Hindi. Majority of
the families have been reported to be consisted of single unit and only about eight
per cent families were found to be broken families.

Assets in Possession

It was envisaged important to analyse the structure of landed property owned by the
project affected households and the results have been presented in Table -3.2. It
may be seen from the table that about 14 per cent of the families have only land
whereas about three percent have only house. If such families have land in addition
to house it is very insignificant in quantity. Majority of the families, about 80 percent
have both house and land and about three per cent families have shop, land and
house.

Demographic Profile

The demographic profile of the project affected households has been presented in
Table-3.3 wherein it may be seen that total population of the project affected
households was 660 at the time when survey was conducted and of these 192
belonged to SC/ST category. The total number of males and females have also
been presented in this table. The analysis indicates that average family size of
SC/ST category was 4.92 persons per family whereas this figure for general
category was 4.42 and for all sample it was 4.55. The sex ratio in case of SC/ST
population was 939, for general category families it was 1086 and for overall sample

18
the sex ratio was found to be 1037 females per thousand of male. About half of the
sample was that of married persons.

Educational Status

The analysis of educational levels of the persons of sampled household indicated

that about 17 per cent of the persons were illiterate and about 19 percent had
studied up to primary level (Table-3.4). About 11 per cent persons had attained the
educational level of Senior Secondary level. About 10 per cent of the persons had
completed their graduation level studies and about four percent had completed their
post graduation level studies. About two percent of the persons had obtained some
technical diplomas or other technical qualification.

Literacy Level

The literacy level among the sampled population was found to be 83 percent (Table-
3.5). The literacy among males was high (91%) as compared with females of whom
76 per cent were literate. The literacy level of general category persons was higher
than SC/ST, and it was true for both males and females.

Workers Population

The analysis indicated that about 55 per cent of the SC/ST, 63 per cent of the
general category and about 60 per cent persons at overall level could be classified
as workers (Table-3.6). The percentage of male workers was higher than females
in case of general category whereas in SC/ST it was just reverse. At overall level
also the number of male workers (59.25 %) was marginally lower than number of
female workers (61.45%). This analysis led to conclusion that in case of SC/ST
category the dependency ratio was 0.82, which was higher than general category
(0.60). At overall level the dependency ratio was found to be 0.66.

Occupational Pattern

The occupational pattern of the workers has been presented in Table-3.7. It is

possible that some of the persons may have more than one occupation but for the
present purpose the main occupation has been considered. The analysis has been
conducted separately for males and females. The analysis indicates that the
percentage of males who have agriculture as their main occupation was lower than
that of females. About two percent of the males and 1.5 per cent of the females

19
worked as agricultural labour and this percentage for non-agricultural labour was
higher in case of males but lower for females. Service was the main occupation of
about 17 per cent of the males whereas only about two percent of the females were
in service. About six per cent of the males were engaged in business but this figure
was almost insignificant for females. The number of male students was higher than
females. None of the males were solely engaged in household chores.

Sources of Income

Like foregoing analysis, each family can have more than one source of income but
all of these have considered in present analysis. It is indicated that about 90 per
cent of the households at overall level were deriving income from agriculture and the
next in importance was wage labour, about 41 per cent families getting some
income from this source (Table-3.8). About 39 percent of the households were
getting income from service.

Annual Income of Households

It has been found out that agriculture is the major source of family income, about
38.48 per cent of the income being derived from this source (Table-3.9). Agriculture
is closely followed by service accounting for 37.7 percent of total. Business
contributed about 9.85 per cent and wage labour about 12.12 per cent of the family
income. About 1.85 per cent of the income was being generated from sources other
than listed above (pension etc.).

Families Below Poverty Line

The Planning Commission, GOI has recommended the poverty line to be Rs. 289.31
per month per capita. This has been taken to be the poverty line in the present
study. On this basis there was no family identified below poverty line among all the
project affected households (Table-3.10)

Particulars of Houses

About 95 per cent of the project affected households owned the houses with an
average plinth area of about 578 ft2 (Table -3.11). About 35 per cent of the houses
were pucca, about 43 per cent kutcha and the rest about 17 per cent were semi
pucca houses. About 79 per cent of the houses had separate kitchen, about 68 per
cent separate toilet and about 71 per cent had separate animal sheds. The average

20
number of rooms per house at overall level were 3.7; this figure was 2.8 for SC/ST
and 4.4 for general category families.

Business Details

The business details of the project affected households have been presented in
Table-3.12 revealing that about 12 per cent of the families have some sort of
business. About 15 per cent of the general category and about three per cent of the
SC/ST households had some business. The average investment of the business
was Rs. 1,04,312 at overall level of which Rs. 89,315 was invested from own
sources. About 29 per cent of the families who had invested in business had
outstanding loans at the time when the survey was conducted. There were five
families belonging to general category that had outstanding loans and the average
amount of the outstanding loans was Rs. 81,000. Main source of credit was
commercial banks.

Particulars of Shops

There were nine households that had shops (Table-3.13), only one family of SC/ST
category had shop. The average area of the shop was about 222 ft2 with an
average investment of Rs. 64,778. Of these nine shops two each were of tailoring
and provision store, one was workshop and there were four general stores.

Impact of SJVN Activities

Out of 17 households having the business, 15 were of the view that there will be
some impact on the business activities as a result of SJVN activities (Table-3.14).
All of these respondents were of the view that the business will definitely increase
as a result of SJVN activities in the area.

Households having Commercial Assets

The commercial assets included in the present analysis are the assets like taxi, car,
pick-up van etc, Table-3.15 presents the details. There were 4.83 per cent families
owning taxi used for commercial purposes. General stores were owned by 2.07 per
cent families and there was one family having auto repair shop.

21
Number of Commercial Assets

Table-3.16 presents the details of number of commercial assets owned by the

households detailed in Table-3.15. It is indicated that each of the family having
commercial assets has one such asset per household.

Monthly Income from Commercial Assets

Each family having taxi was earning on an average Rs. 12,150 per month from this
asset (Table-3.17). The monthly income from general store was Rs. 9,833. The
auto repair shop generated the income of Rs. 5,000 per month.

Modern Durables

The presence of modern durables was analyzed in order to have an idea about the
living standard of the project affected households. First of all it was seen that how
many households possess some of the modern durables listed in the questionnaire,
the results are presented in Table-3.18, indicating that about 72 per cent of the
households, at overall level, have television sets and about 10 per cent in addition
also have the VCD players. Refrigerators were present in about 46 per cent of the
households. Most commonly present modern durable was observed to be LPG gas
stove, which was present in about 82 per cent of the households. Further, it was
observed that majority of the modern durables were present with the general
category households (Table-3.19). About 80 per cent of TV sets and VCD players
were with the general category households. The percentage of refrigerators with
general category households was about 88 per cent. Simultaneously, the value of
modern durables present was also analyzed and results presented in Table-3.20
indicating the per household value of such assets.

Land Resources

The land resources of the project affected households have been presented in
Table-3.21 wherein it may be seen that per household irrigated land was higher in
case of general category whereas the amount of unirrigated land was higher in case
of SC/ST households. Total land with the general category household was also
observed to be higher. On an average each beneficiary household owns 6.75
bighas of land of which 4.69 bighas was irrigated and the rest unirrigated. There
was also some horticultural land present which was about 34 per cent of the total

22
average land holding. In addition to this each household owned 0.01 bighas of
grass land and 0.77 bighas of waste land.

Cropping and Production Pattern

Cropping pattern is the mix of crops grown by different farmers and all the farmers
don’t necessarily grow the same crops. It is because of this fact that the number of
farmers growing different crops has been analyzed and the result presented in
Table-3.22. The analysis is of multiple responses in nature as each farmer grows
more than one crop. It may be seen from the table that most number of farmers
were growing wheat, 72 per cent, followed by paddy, 64 per cent. Maize, cabbage
and pulses etc were the other crops grown. Among the horticultural crops, apples
were grown by 17 per cent and almonds by 24 per cent households. Two per cent
of the households were cultivating pears. The next stage of analysis pertains to the
area put under different crops by the households. The cropping pattern has been
presented in Table-3.23 depicting exact area put under the crops during the crop
year 2003-04. It is clearly indicated that the emphasis is on the cereal crops
followed by horticultural particularly apples and almond. The resultant production
pattern has been presented in Table-3.24. The horticultural crops had highest per
household production. Among the field crops, maximum production is of paddy,
followed by wheat and among the vegetable crops maximum production was of
cabbage followed by tomatoes and peas. The next stage of analysis pertains to
working out the value of farm output. The output has been valued at the going
market prices; Table-3.25 presents the details of the value. It is clear that the
maximum share of output is constituted by the horticultural crops followed by paddy
and wheat crops.

Livestock Resources

The number of households owning livestock has been presented in Table-3.26 and
the number of livestock owned by the project affected households have been
presented in Table-3.27 depicting that on an average each household has 0.5 head
of draught animals, 0.99 cow, 0.45 young stock and 0.17 sheep and goats. Only
one household reared sheep/goats. Number of cows and young stock is higher with
the SC/ST households. The value of livestock owned has been presented in Table-
3.28 and number of households having the cross-bred animals in Table-3.29. It

23
may be seen from the table that among the SC/ST households only five households
have crossbred cows and none has crossbred draught animals. Among the general
category households 61 had crossbred cows and 37 crossbred young stock. Six
households also had crossbred draught animals.

Role of Women in Economic Activities

The role of women in various economic activities like agriculture and animal
husbandry has been analysed and presented in Tables 3.30 to 3.32. Separate
analysis has been carried out for role in decision-making and operations of such
activities. The analysis of role of women in agriculture has been presented in Table-
3.30 indicating that about 63 per cent of women engaged in decision making at
overall level, are actively involved in it and about 36 per cent had supportive role.
Similarly, about 74 per cent women were actively engaged in carrying out different
agricultural operations and about 23 per cent had the supportive role.

Out of the total number of women engaged in decision making in animal husbandry,
about 70 per cent were actively engaged in it and about 26 per cent had supporting
role in decision making. About 65 per cent of the women engaged in carrying out
various operations of animal husbandry were actively engaged and about 27 per
cent had supportive role, at overall level (Table-3.31).

The role of women in household chores has been elicited in Table-3.32 wherein it
may be seen that about 91 per cent of women were actively engaged and about 8
percent had supportive role. There were 41 women of general category households
who were somehow concerned with carrying out the business. Out of these about
66 percent were actively engaged and about 32 per cent had supportive role.

Consumption Pattern

The analysis of consumption pattern has been split into three parts. As all the
families don’t consume same food and non-food articles, first of all number of
families consuming various articles have been worked out and presented in Table-
3.33. It is indicated that the articles like rice, wheat, pulses, vegetables, milk, sugar,
salt and tea are being consumed by majority of the families. The average quantity
of such articles being consumed has been presented in table-3.34 and the value of
such articles, based on the actual market prices has been presented in Table-3.35.

24
Prevalence of Diseases

The analysis in this respect revealed that at overall level seven persons were
suffering from chronic diseases like asthma etc and 52 persons suffered from
common diseases like cold, fever, cough and cold during the last one year (Table-
3.36).

PROFILE OF LIKELY TO BE PROJECT

AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS

Introduction
This chapter pertains to the area and population, which is not directly affected by the
project activities presently but may be directly or indirectly affected in future. Thus,
it was considered pertinent to carryout the base line survey of such population
located in the vicinity of the project area. Such a study is important not only for the
sake of population residing in such areas but also for the future impact evaluation of
the likely to be project affected households families, by acting as a control sample.
The present study is an attempt in this direction.
Methodology
The study has been conducted in the villages suggested by the RHEP for
evaluation. The details of the villages and the sample taken for the study has been
presented in Table-1.2. The sample comprises of 505 households of which 274
belonged to general category and the rest 231 to SC/ST category. The sample has
been taken from the villages Boyal, Kohil, Dutt Nagar, Nirmand and Tunan. The
table also provides the details of sub-villages and sample taken from each of the
sub-villages.

General information of likely to be project affected households

Majority of the households (about 98% of the SC/ST and cent percent of the general
category) belong to Hindu religion. Only five households of SC category belong to
other religion (Muslim). All the households could speak and understand Hindi but
about 16 per cent of these wanted Pahari to be recorded as their mother tongue
alongwith Hindi. About 11 per cent of the families were observed to be broken
families, this percentage was higher in case of general category households. The
details have been presented in Table-4.1.

41
Assets in possession of households
This analysis pertains to the assets like land, house, shop etc. owned by the likely to
be project affected households and details have been presented in Table- 4.2. It
may be seen from the table that more than 90 per cent of the households had land
and house. About four per cent of the households had only house and about one
per cent only land. About two per cent of the families had land, house and shop.
The category wise details may also be referred from this table.
Demographic profile
The total sampled population residing in 505 households was 2533 of which 51.5
per cent were male (Table-4.3). The average family size at overall level was 5.02
persons per family and the sex ratio was observed to be 941 females for every 1000
males. In total 1497 persons were married. The percentage of married males was
higher (55.85%) and this figure for females was 44.15 per cent.
Educational status
The education status of the persons living in the sampled households has been
presented in Table-4.4, which indicates that about 22 per cent of the persons were
illiterate whereas about 28 per cent had studied up to primary level. The percentage
of illiterates among the SC/ST category was higher. The number and percentage of
persons who had attained various levels of education like matriculation, senior
secondary level, graduation, post-graduation etc. may also be referred from this
table.
Literacy level
At overall level the literacy level was about 80 per cent (Table- 4.5). The literacy
among males was higher in total sample and general category households whereas
in SC/ST category the literacy among females was higher. The literacy in general
category was observed to be marginally higher.
Workers and non-workers
Among the sampled households about 59 per cent of the population was that of
workers (Table- 4.6). This percentage was slightly lower for males in the total
sample. Rest of the population comprised of non-workers. As such the
dependency ratio at overall level was 0.69 and it was 0.72 for SC/ST and 0.67 for
general category households.

42
Occupation pattern of workers
The occupational pattern of workers has been presented in Table-4.7. The table
indicates that the largest percentage of the persons belongs to the category of
students. Apart from students, the largest number of males is engaged in service
and females have agriculture as most popular occupation. About five percent of
males and three percent of females work as agricultural labours, this percentages
for non-agricultural labour were about nine and two per cent respectively. The
analysis also takes into account the unemployed and non-worker categories also.
Annual income
The analysis indicates that annual income of the sampled households from different
sources, at overall level was Rs. 1,07,408 per annum (Table-4.8), which was Rs.
77,351 for SC/ST and 1,32,748 for general category. The largest share of the total
income was generated from employment including service and wage labour. This
was followed by agriculture, accounting for 18.61 per cent and other sources, 17.71
per cent. Business was observed to be the last in this respect and generated only
.98 per cent of the total household income at overall level.
Families Below Poverty Line
There were only five families among the SC/St category, which were below the
poverty line. No such family existed among the general category of farmers (Table-
4.9)
Particulars of houses
This section is intended to provide information on type of houses and size of houses
etc, Table-4.10 provides the details. The size of houses belonging to general
category was generally larger with the average size of house being 531 ft2 in
comparison to average size of 369ft2 in case of SC/ST. At overall level the average
size of houses was 457ft2. About 26 per cent of the houses were pucca and 58 per
cent were kutcha houses, rest being semi-pucca houses. About 67 per cent of the
houses had separate kitchen and 59 per cent separate toilets. About 57 per cent of
the houses also had separate animal shed. Each house on an average had 3.65
rooms, which figure was 3.09 for SC/ST and 4.12 for general category.
Business details
In total 68 households were observed to be having some type of business of which
40 belonged to general category (Table-4.11). The average investment put in by

43
the entrepreneurs was Rs. 33672 which comprised of money put in from own
sources and loans. The averages worked out here are from respective numbers to
provide the picture of only those who have used a particular source of finance.
There were 16 families who had outstanding loans at the time present survey was
conducted and the average amount of loan outstanding was Rs. 31,750. Of the
total persons who had availed loans for financing the business 16 had availed the

shop was found to be 191 ft2 and the average investment being Rs. 49,142. The
shops were predominantly general stores followed by the provision stores, however
it was very difficult to make a clear-cut distinction as the shops in the rural areas are
normally multipurpose stores selling everything.
Impact of SJVN on business
Out of the total 68 households who had business activities 88 per cent were of the
view that the SJVN activities will have some definite impact on their business
(Table-4.13) and all of these were of the view that their business will flourish due
increasing influx of people resulting in rising demand for almost everything.
Households having commercial assets
There were six households operating taxis (Table-4.14) and one household had
pickup van. Other commercial assets included STD booths tea stall and auto repair
shop etc, the details may be referred from the table.
Number of commercial assets
This part of the analysis pertains to the number of commercial assets with the
sampled households (Table-4.15). The number of taxes was six and one each of
pickup van and truck was present with the sampled households households. The
number of other commercial assets have also been presented in this table.
Average monthly income from commercial assets
At overall level, each household owning taxes could generate an income of Rs.
11,250/- per month (Table- 4.16). Pickup van generated an income of Rs.4000 per

44
month and truck Rs.12000 per month. The income from general store was
observed to be Rs.8572 per month per family.
Number of households having modern durables
The largest number of households (67.52 %) were observed to be having television
sets (Table-4.17). This was followed by LPG stoves, which were owned by about
64 per cent families. About 27 per cent families also had refrigerators. Other
modern durables present in the sampled households included VCD players, motor
cycle etc.
Number of modern durables
In total there were 350 television sets present in the sampled households (Table-

players etc.
Value of modern durables
The value of television sets per household was observed to be Rs.4726 and that of
LPG stove etc. Rs.2226 per households owning (Table-4.19). The highest value
was that of car, about Rs.4 lacs per family. The value of refrigerators was Rs.7957
and that of VCD players Rs.4719 per owning household.
Land resources
Each sampled household was observed to be having 6.96 bighas of land of which
about 78 per cent was under agriculture (Table-4.20). Majority of the agricultural
land was observed to be un-irrigated. In addition to agricultural land about 14 per
cent of the total land was under horticulture. About one and six per cent of the land
was grass land and waste land respectively.
Number of farmers growing different crops
Wheat was the most popular crop grown by about 78 per cent of the farmers
followed by maize, which was grown, by about 63 per cent farmers (Table-4.21).
Other popular crops included paddy. Pulses and cabbage grown by about 36, 28
and 19 per cent farmers respectively. Apple was the most popular horticultural crop,
about 21 per cent of the households had apple orchards. Other crops like barley,
peas, tomato etc. were being grown by varying number of farmers, but not by
majority of the farmers.

45
Cropping pattern
The number of farmers growing different crops is entirely different concept than the
cropping pattern. Although, about 78 per cent of the households were growing
wheat but only about 38 per cent of the area was allocated for this crop (Table-
4.22). Maize was the next important crop occupying about 27 per cent of a total
cropped area and paddy occupied about 12 percent of the total cropped area. The
area allocation for barley, pulses and cabbage was in the range of 3-5 per cent.
Apple orchards occupied about 6 per cent of the total cropped area followed by
almond, about 1 per cent and other miscellaneous fruits occupying less than 1 per
cent of the total cropped area.
Production pattern
The average production of different crops grown has been presented in table-4.23
and it may be seen that average production of maize was 3.56 qtls per households
and these figures for paddy, wheat, barley and pulses were 2.81, 4.37, 0.18 and
0.17 qtls per households. The production of cabbage and cauliflower were 2.04 and
0.08 qtls per farm. Each apple orchard produced an average of about 14 qtls of fruit
whereas the production of almonds was about 0.49 qtl per farm.
Value of output
The value of output of different crops has been calculated on the basis of actual sale
price of such commodities irrespective of the fact whether such commodities have
been sold by a particular household or not. The per household value of crops
output on this consideration have been presented in Table-4.24 indicating that
maximum value is that of horticultural crops followed by cereal crops and vegetable
crops have lowest value.
Households having livestock
The majority of households were observed to be having some sort of livestock the
details of which have been presented in table-4.25. The majority of households
(about 80 %) have milch animals and about 46 per cent also have young stock.
This is followed by draught animals, which are reared by about 37 per cent
households sheep, and goat are present in about six per cent of the households.
Three households of general category were also rearing other than this livestock,
like ponies etc.

46
Number of livestock owned
On in average each household having 1.26 heads of milch animals and the 0.63
head of draught animals (Table-4.26). The average number of young stock was
0.66 and that of sheep and goats, 0.48 head.
Value of livestock
The average value livestock owned by each household has been presented in table-
4. 27 indicating that the average value of milch animals was Rs.6358, which was the

stock. Although the value of sheep and goat was highest, Rs.8585 per household
but only 32 households were having these.
Cross bred livestock
Among the total livestock the cross bred draught animals were present with 1.78 per
cent of the households whereas about 38 per cent of the households had cross bred
milch animals (Table-4.28). Cross bred young stock was present in about 18 per
cent of the households. None of the respondents had cross bred sheep and goat.

actively engaged.
Role of women in animal husbandry
There were 520 women engaged in decision making in respect of animal husbandry
and of these about 77 per cent had active role and about 20 per cent played a
sportive role in this respect (Table-4.30). The number of women who were engaged
in carrying out various operations related to animal husbandry was observed to be
505 and of these 70 per cent were playing active role in this respect. The
