6.1 Expected Outcomes<br />
6.1.1 Employment<br />
Employment has always been a problem in the village. The principal occupations <strong>of</strong> the people are dry land agriculture, animal<br />
husbandry and casual labour work. However, rain fall being very limited and erratic, agriculture suffers, i.e. at best they can<br />
take only a single crop, which keeps them partially engaged for about 4 months. Lack <strong>of</strong> fodder makes animal husbandry very<br />
difficult too. So, animal husbandry does not keep them engaged full time. Thus the people mainly depend upon casual labour,<br />
either in the village itself or outside it.<br />
The project plans for creation <strong>of</strong> both wage employment and self employment opportunities. Wage employment would be<br />
created by engaging people in watershed physical works like construction <strong>of</strong> earthen bunds, farm bunds, village pond,<br />
plantation, etc. Self employment would be created by providing the people with cash support in the form <strong>of</strong> direct livelihood<br />
activities like agriculture, animal husbandry and enterprise development.<br />
