Livelihood

Most of the people in villages earn their living either through agriculture or handicrafts. Since the land available to each family has remained the same and the number of family members has grown, supporting all of them through agriculture alone is becoming difficult. People are moving to towns and cities in search of jobs, but these are also not always available partly because they lack the qualifications. The government is addressing these problems by taking steps to make better farming techniques available to increase crop production from the same piece of land, and also making other opportunities of employment and livelihood available close to or within the villages itself. It is also encouraging young people to start their own ventures by providing them training and finance.
