milk and <strong>the</strong> average annual income earned from selling milk is Rs.5400 in Baran and Rs.21395 in Dholpur at<br />

<strong>the</strong> local level, while <strong>the</strong> milk sold to cooperative dairy fetches on an average Rs.11115 in Jhalawar and<br />

Rs.39000 in Dholpur, though fewer households sell milk to cooperative dairy. Private dairy also returns lower<br />

average income from milk sale. It ranges between Rs.3600 in Baran to Rs.21288 in Dausa. So highest average<br />

income earned is from cooperative followed by local vendor and <strong>the</strong>n private dairy. In case <strong>of</strong> non-CIG<br />

households, large number sell to local vendors followed by private dairy and <strong>the</strong>n cooperative dairy. The income<br />

earned is also in <strong>the</strong> same pattern. There are however inter-district variations.<br />

Liquidation <strong>of</strong> Assets<br />

As <strong>the</strong> poor households are cash starved mostly, <strong>the</strong>n in case <strong>of</strong> emergency must be liquidating <strong>the</strong>ir assets like<br />

house, land, animals etc. Table 2.35 shows that major causes <strong>of</strong> liquidation are illness, debt, social ceremonies’<br />

expenses and purchase <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r durable assets. House liquidation is reported by only two CIG households- one<br />

each in Baran and Dholpur. It was disposed <strong>of</strong>f by 8 non-CIG households in Dausa, Dholpur, Jhalawar and<br />

Tonk. Land has been disposed <strong>of</strong>f by 17 CIG households in Baran, Churu, Dausa, Dholpur and Rajsamand and<br />

<strong>the</strong> major reason has been debt and illness. In case <strong>of</strong> non-CIG households, 103 households sold <strong>the</strong> land for<br />

social ceremonies, debt, and illness in Baran, Churu, Dausa, Dholpur, Jhalwar, Rajsamnd and Tonk. Churu and<br />

Dholpur have more households selling land compared to o<strong>the</strong>r districts.<br />

There are 102 CIG households which have sold <strong>the</strong>ir animals to tide over crisis in <strong>the</strong> family due to purchase an<br />

asset, repay <strong>the</strong> debt and pay for illness and social ceremonies. This has not been done by non-CIG households;<br />

only in Baran, Dholpur and Tonk it happened. Not many households have sold jewellery; a few households in<br />

Baran and Dholpur, Tonk and Dausa. This shows that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seven districts, some are more vulnerable and even<br />

DPIP intervention has not been able to help retain assets with <strong>the</strong>se poor families.<br />
