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 husbandry and<br />
casual labour work. However, rain fall being very limited and erratic, agriculture suffers, i.e. at best they can take only a single crop, which<br />
keeps them partially engaged for about 4 months. Lack <strong>of</strong> fodder makes animal husbandry very difficult too. So, animal husbandry does not<br />
keep them engaged full time. Thus the people mainly depend upon casual labour, 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 created by engaging<br />
people in watershed physical works like construction <strong>of</strong> earthen bunds, farm bunds, village pond, plantation, etc. Self employment would be<br />
created by providing the people with cash support in the form <strong>of</strong> direct livelihood activities like agriculture, animal husbandry and enterprise<br />
development.<br />
