Impact Assessment of the District Poverty Initiative Project Rajasthan

Crisis in Households
It was enquired as to what do the households do to overcome any financial crisis. Table shows
that a poor household faces financial crisis because of accident, sudden illness, adult death,
livestock death, pest attack on crops, drought, fire, Mirtyubhoj etc. In case of CIG member
households, the major crisis event is sudden illness in Dausa and livestock death in Baran.
Most districts reported no crisis (table 2.37). The same is the case with non-CIG households.
