In order to get an insight unto the annual family income as a whole an analysis was carried out on the basis of family as a unit. The major constituents of family income in the study area were horticulture/agriculture, service and miscellaneous. A perusal of Table – 5 reveals that on an average, the total annual family income, per household, was worked out to be Rs. 3, 67,748. The major source of annual family income was agriculture/horticulture. It contributed about 68.05 per cent towards total family income.

Next in importance was service, as it contributed about 22.66 per cent. Miscellaneous was also one of the important sources of family income. Its contribution was 7.69 per cent.

It can be seen from the table that on an average people were able to mange 30.25 percent fuel from their own farms and to cover the gap 52.00 per cent households were dependent on forests. As far as fodder is concerned, to cover the gap which was 60.00 per cent, majority of the people (52.00 per cent) were dependent on forests.

Suggestions •

Rural infrastructure like village roads, drinking water, and sanitation needs to be strengthened.

•

Health sub-centres may be provided with proper building and staff.

•

Family planning campaign needs to be started at Gram Panchayat level. Awards should be given to Gram Panchayats with low decadal variation form the average of state.

•

The occurrence of school dropouts has been quite high as we move from primary to middle and similar pattern is clearly visible for higher education.

•

In order to raise the socio-economic status, increase employment opportunities and generate self confidence, the top priority is to be given for their education.

The education will not help in providing their participation in economic activities but also add to their productivity.

•

The overall literacy rate of women is low as compared to men folk. Keeping in view the active role played by women in home management special schemes should be introduced to get her more educated.

•

Social participation should be encouraged. The participation in co-operatives, self help groups and youth clubs is very poor in study area. There is need to educate the people about these rural institutions and their functioning. They should also be motivated to participate in these rural institutions. During People Rural Appraisal technique it has come to notice that most of the people are not having knowledge about development activities. This can be taken care by enhancing their social participation.

•

Majority of people in study area are marketing their produce to private parties but resentment was also there among the people that private parties are not purchasing their produce at proper rates. Government should do efforts in this respect.

•

In order to make the people economically better off, there is need to introduce new income generating activities as suggested by them. Proper training should be imparted to them to start new activities. Existing income generating activities should be strengthened by making them more trained. Women folk should be trained to improve their economic status. Improved economic status will lead to increase in empowerment of women and also enable them to participate increasingly in decision making in the family and society, which at present is more or less the exclusive domain of the men folk.

•

There exists a gap in fodder requirement and which is mostly met with from forests. To meet out this gap new species of fodder trees and grasses and improved management practices (Agronomic practices and fertilization application) should be popularized.

•

To cover the gap in fuel majority of people re dependent on forests for fuel wood.

To release the pressure of forests alternative sources like solar energy, bio-gas should be encouraged. An investment in this direction can be cheaper and more eco-friendly source electrification.

•

Pressure cookers should be provided to them on subsidized rates.

•

Training should be imparted to women to save energy. Wood saving devices like improved chullas should be introduced.

•

In the study area major source of family income is agriculture/horticulture. Every farmer who wants to expand or even maintain his or her business invariably needs cash. The need for cash implies a need for credit, and as most small scale farmers need relatively small amounts of credit. Microcredit is not always the solution farmers are looking for, and they benefit from it less than other sectors.

Their need for credit may be relatively small, but it is larger than that of the average micro-entrepreneur. Farmers need access to credit over a long period of time as they have to wait until harvest time or later, until they can pay back a loan. Unlike other micro-enterprises, agriculture cannot sustain above market interest rates as the financial returns are not high enough. Keeping this in view government should make efforts for microfinance instead of microcredit.
