Peer Group 

A large majority (84%) of the respondents cited agriculture (farming) as the main sources 

of income for their families. The percentage of the respondents citing this as the major 

source of income was almost the same as the baseline survey (84% vs. 86%). Though in 

small percentages, daily wages (4%), government/private employment (3%) and overseas 

employment (2%) were also mentioned as sources of income.  

Consistent with the baseline survey (80%) an almost equal proportion (79%) of the 

respondents cited that they did not support their families. Those supporting the family  

(17%) engaged in agricultural labor (Tables 2.1.6 and 2.1.7).
