Now looking at <strong>the</strong> wage labour income from outside <strong>the</strong> village, data shows two major<br />

observations- one that increases in BPL wage labour income is lower compared to APL<br />

households; and second that in Churu and Jhalawar <strong>the</strong> increases are only marginal. This<br />

again shows that BPL households are less engaged in wage labour now than before. Here, like<br />

wage labour income within <strong>the</strong> village, reversal has taken place meaning that average wage<br />

labour outside <strong>the</strong> village in 2001 was lower in case <strong>of</strong> APL households, but in 2007 it <strong>the</strong><br />

o<strong>the</strong>r way around in most districts (table 3.22). This is a positive development if looked from<br />

DPIP perspective. For non-baseline households, not much difference between wage labour<br />

income from outside <strong>the</strong> village between APL and BPL households, though in most districts,<br />

<strong>the</strong> average wage labour income is higher in case <strong>of</strong> APL households.<br />

Income from Famine Works<br />

Some families do work on famine works to supplement family income. DPIP has a mixed<br />

impact on this. This is because in economic distress each household would react differently<br />

given its asset endowments. There is a significant increase in this income for BPL households,<br />
