Landless, hence work on others fields or do other petty jobs

Family works on the land

But production insufficient

Hence, also work on other's lands as farm labourers for additional income

• are paid wages: either in Cash/Kind
• have no control over crops grown
• may get meals
• Wages vary as per: region, crops, activity to be done
• Duration of employment varies: daily, activity period, all year
• More availability of farm labour vs lesser demand = high competition = low wages for labourers
• Hence, govt. guidelines on wages often not followed

Why do so many farmers have either no land or very small pieces of land? 

How was this land divided?

Why are Dala & Ramkali poor?

Is this why people migrate to cities?

Is their life in cities better?

Then, will the rich always remain rich and the poor always remain poor?

Why can't farmers in India be prosperous?
