Yes, Though there is variety of non-farming activities in the villages but then number of people employed in each is quite small

Explanation:

Presently the  non-farming activities are very small, where, out every 100 labourers/workers only 24 of them are engaged in non-farming activities

• Some measures can be taken to enhance non-farm activities in villages, which are as follows:

1. Banks must lend loans at low rate of interest in order to help poor villagers to start business and assist them in making a livelihood from non-farming activities.
2. Government needs to be more involved and can launch successful job creation schemes. For various small crafts the government must provide the villagers with proper training.
3. In rural areas, government must provide transportation facilities and sell local produced goods to industries and in the cities.
