CHAPTER-6<br />
EXPECTED OUTCOME<br />
6.1 Expected Outcomes<br />
6.1.1 Employment<br />
Employment is a big problem in the Sankoi project. Main occupation <strong>of</strong> the villagers is agriculture, animal husbandry and wage labour.<br />
However, due to Moderate Slope / Hilly soil, farmers take only kharif crops. Only few farmers take rabi crops. Lack <strong>of</strong> fodder, animal husbandry<br />
is very difficult in the villages. So farmers mainly depend on wage labour whole over the year.<br />
Project will provide wage employment as well as self employment to the villagers. Wage employment would be created by engaging the<br />
people in watershed development work like construction <strong>of</strong> check dam, farm bunding, nala plug, staggered contour trenches, Afforestation<br />
work. Self employment would be created by providing different agriculture activities like nursery, vermi-compost, fruit tree plantation and in<br />
animal husbandry by providing animals and fodder directly to the farmers. Project would provide indirectly self employment to the women<br />
through training activities <strong>of</strong> tailoring, poultry, fisheries, Utensil services, mini oil mill, leaf plate and cup making machine.<br />
