5.3. Vulnerability Assessment of Local economy
A brief look at the local economy of the study area clearly indicates its agrarian nature. More than 48
percent of the work force is engaged in primary sector activities, whereas 44 percent of the work
force is absorbed in the service sector. Merely 6 percent of labor force in employed in manufacturing
and processing activities. Preliminary investigation of the service employment reveals that most of
them are in informal sector – a component which belongs to the marginal worker class.
Looking at the low volume of industrial activity, the vulnerability assessment of the local economy has
primarily concentrated on three aspects – agriculture, pisciculture and livestock. The prime reasoning
being that most of the small and medium scale manufacturing activities are located in the urban
areas and are comparatively better insulated from the vagaries of nature. On the other hand, informal
service economy is primarily driven by human capital with low physical capital inputs.
The Vulnerability Index of the Agriculture (A) has been estimated based on the total value of the
standing crops and the opportunity cost due to lost productivity in coming years at the market prices
