various projects. MGNREGA has provided some support to the incomes of rural workers.
In the future, one would like to see more non-farm production activities in the
village. Unlike farming, non-farm activities require little land. People with some
amount of capital can set up non-farm activities. How does one obtain this capital?
One can either use his own savings, but more often has to take a loan. It is
important that loan be available at low rate of interest so that even people without
savings can start some non-farm activity. Another thing which is essential for
expansion of non-farm activities is to have markets where the goods and services
produced can be sold. In Rampur, we saw the neighbouring villages, towns and cities
provide the markets for milk, jaggery, wheat, etc. As more villages get connected to
towns and cities through good roads, transport and telephone, it is possible that the
opportunities for non-farm production activities in the village would increase in
the coming years.
