Income from Retail Business (Petty Shops)<br />

This source <strong>of</strong> income is also for 8 CIG member households in 2001 and 15 in 2007. Such nonCIG households<br />

are 23. Table 2.45 shows that among CIG member households <strong>the</strong>re is decline in average annual income across<br />

districts. However, this is not <strong>the</strong> case among nonCIG member households. Some CIG households that have this<br />

source <strong>of</strong> income earn fairly reasonable income (Rs.35611 in Churu). It is also observed that it has become a<br />

source <strong>of</strong> income in Churu and Dausa for CIG households in 2007, while in Dholpur <strong>the</strong> households lost this<br />

source <strong>of</strong> income.<br />

Famine Relief Work Income<br />

It appears that <strong>the</strong>re many households that earn income by working in famine works and now it could be<br />

NREGA. However, <strong>the</strong> annual average income earned is only marginal. Table 2.46 reveals that among <strong>the</strong> CIG<br />

member households, this source <strong>of</strong> income is largely in Rajsamand and Tonk (34 and 42 households<br />

respectively). The average annual income ranges between Rs.1365 in Tonk in 2001 among CIG households and<br />

Rs.6292 in Churu. In 2007, Baran and Rajsamand had no CIG household reporting this income. This could be<br />

positive impact <strong>of</strong> DPIP in <strong>the</strong>se districts. In Churu, <strong>the</strong> CIG household number increased significantly and in<br />

Dholpur, Dausa, Jhalawar and Tonk <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> households increased too. This has happened when 2001 was<br />

a drought year and 2007 was a good year. This has one implication that <strong>the</strong> DPIP income and income from o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

sources is not enough for <strong>the</strong> households to sustain and so some households do venture into relief works to have<br />
