<strong>IWMP</strong>-2 Mahiyari<br />
6.1.2. Migration<br />
Low rainfall results in very little fodder availability in the locality. The relatively well <strong>of</strong>f farmers bring fodder from Mahiyari (approximately<br />
100kms away) collectively; but the resource poor cannot afford it. On account <strong>of</strong> agriculture and animal husbandry providing only part time<br />
employment for some part <strong>of</strong> the year, the people migrate for a better half <strong>of</strong> the year for wage labour.<br />
Employment opportunities in the local area as mentioned above will ensure lessening seasonal migration from the area.<br />
