Female in workforce

I'm not saying about hamirpurites, but the people who are not belong to this tract of land will amazed in this topic. This topic is dedicated to femalehood who earns for the livelihood of their family.

Working women

The proportion of women in the workforce in Hamirpur is generally higher than the state average.

While, according to Census 2001, female workers constituted  75 % of the total population of district.

This may indicate that cultural norms which discourage women from working in UP are not generally as deeply rooted in Hamirpur. However, higher female work participation could also be seen as sign of higher economic vulnerability. It is also an indicator of lower enrollment of girls in schools, as working girls are also considered 'workers'.



Some Female workers are in private sector factories like Rimjhim Steel Plant and Hans coasting. They are also engaged in small industrial units and businesses.

Here are some areas where you are most likely to see female working:

Farm girl

1. Farming: It is the biggest employer for women. An estimated 70% of women work in agriculture. The majority of them are involved in crop farming, while the rest rear livestock.

2. Handlooms product: Roughly 10% of working women are in manufacturing,

3. Construction: Hamirpurites used to seeing women carrying bricks or freshly-mixed cement on baskets on their heads will not be surprised to find that construction is the third-largest employer of women, with 5% of working women.

4. Schools: Educated and skilled females are working in education. most of them in primary education& some are imparting their services in private schools.

5. Bissiness : Few women work in vegitable markets, food stores, hawkers and other bussiness activities.

Employment Resources

Hamirpur rank among the least developed regions of the state, with low industrialization and low urbanization. Agriculture is the main occupation in Hamirpur. As the table below shows, according to Census 2001, percentage of main workers engaged in agriculture, as cultivators or laborers, was less than.

For the agriculture conditions are not good for growth of cash crops like sugarcane and cotton. Productivity is affected by the poor irrigation and the soil types. Rising input costs and frequent incidence of drought are pushing agricultural laborers and small farmers out of agriculture.

The majority of rural households are depend for income by migrate to other place. Increased migration and increased use of tractors (hired or owned) would account for the significant reduction in the percentage of agriculture laborers between 1991 and 2001 in Hamirpur and near about districts.

Some depends in Other work' includes working in government service, private sector factories in Bharwa Sumerpur, small industrial units, and businesses like trading. Other work also includes working as labor in stone quarries at Kabrai and Mahoba.

No any industries paying sufficient amount of pay for the livelihood. and Service industry was limited also.

The Chart below shows employment sources of non-agricultural main workers.The breakup of main workers is according to their 'main' occupation. In the fishing, 

forestry and mining sectors, there are many more workers engaged as casual or occasional workers. 

The mining sector also employs a large number of migrant workers, from other districts or other states. This employment is not reflected in figures.

• The blue area shows the total main worker.

• 'Red are indulge in Agriculture.

Many degee holdar youth is under unemployment. As has been said that Hamirpur have the lackness of employment resources. Industrial units in Bharwa Sumerpur is vanishing. Most of which is left other states people working. Most unemployed are working in Delhi and Sural city. Government plans and programs are useless as it not helpful in generating employment.Figurs of Employment Office published in Amar Ujala Newspaper confirms it. since the start of Employment office the total registration is 66474 in which 15001 are women and 51474 are male.these 15 001 66 475 women and 51 474 men Berojagaro is the registration is made.

Flora And Fauna

The natural Flora and Fauna get impacted by the diversity of soil types and climate.

Hamirpur's climate is affected by monsoon.so  has a monsoon climate, so there are majority of intensively deciduous forest. As we already discussed that Hamirpur comes in plain area including some southern part.

80% part of Hamirpur's Plain sub-region, there is practically no forest land.However, very little  forest remains in Hamirpur today, only in the middle area like Beri, Bajehta, Kudra and Bhedi ganj. Less than 8% of the land is notified as forest land And wild animals have become a rare sight.

In plain sub-region areas of Hamirpur districts, along the banks of rivers like Betwa and Yamuna, we see acacias like babul and khair, palas, ber, tendu, mahua, semal and kardhai. 

while Hamirpur's southern part contains Bushes type vegetation  which include Babool, Karaunda, and plum.

Another very useful tree for people living around forests is mahua. It is an important source of food and livelihood for people living in and around forests.

sometimes Jackal, Peacock, wanrojh, monkeys, Neel gaay, wild pig and wild cat are seen.

A wide range of fish is found in Hamirpur's rivers, including species known locally as rahu, bhadur, mrigal, tingar, singahi, mangur, awda, baam, sooja, sinni, padheen and mahasir.

The Forest are disappearing as it is facing high pressure from the growing human population living in which removing firewood illegally. Forests and scrub lands are intensively used by to source firewood for consumption and sale.Also cattle is generally left loose to graze around the borders of the notified reserve resulting in degradation of the forest cover area.

Grass Lands

Hamirpur have some stretches of grasslands, which used as pastures or grazing land'.Significant area of permanent pastures is not found anywhere in the districts, except in the southern portion of the district but according to State of Forest Report 2005 District have 1.6% Moderately dense forest and 2.6% open forest is Considered as grasslands .

generally the noncultivated land which produces grasses like doob (Cynodon dactylon),  and the kans (Saccharum spontaneum) turns to grass land.

Kail and mushial are found in black soil in plain areas.while kans (kansa), an invasive, perennial grass that grows up to three metres in height.does not have any significant area.It is particularly seen after a season of rainfall, and grows rapidly in poorly cultivated soils; it does not generally grow in fields continuously cultivated and carefully prepared for the wheat crop.

Its long and tenacious roots gain a firm hold with the soil and it becomes almost impossible to remove till 12 to 15 years, after which it loses its vitality and the land becomes fit to plough again.No permanent or sure remedy has been found to prevent appearance or growth of kans. The area under permanent pastures has been reducing rapidly, due to high livestock population and pressure to bring more area under cultivation.

Poverty in Hamirpur

"Dalit, Harijan, SC & ST". If you are regularly updated for news, you know thease words. The people, whose conditions are miserable are poors.

Agriculture is nothing but a livelihood practicesby this backward groups.

Most “Harijans” have poor quality land, in which only coarse cereals can be grown. production will be very low If there is inadequate rainfall in June, around sowing time, and again in September.

So, many people give away their lands to bigger farmers on lease, Balkat, or Batiya

and migrate to other places for livelihood.

 Produces from self cultivated land meets minimum food needs of families for two to six months only. The “Harijans” also depend on the forest to meet their food requirements. for instance collecting Mahuwa (A kind of juicy yellow flower) and plums.

Liquor brewed from mahua sell for the money and  flowers are often the main meal in cold winter days. Mahuwa and situwa is preferred by old hamirpurites.

 For four to eight months of a year, most adult members of families migrate to nearby areas or other states to find work. Those that stay back work as a Bonded Labor of Thakurs and Large Farmers.

With the money they earn, “Harijans” buy wheat, but generally families cannot afford to buy all the wheat they require; hence they mix kodo, a coarse cereal they grow, for making chappatis. 

If they require Emergency cash they needs to contact with local money lenders who charge 5% to 25% interest per month. Some Chit-Fund"s spreading their legs within the poors.

families collected forest produce like mahua, tendu leaves, chironji and amla. While some of the produce, especially mahua, is stored for home consumption, most of it is sold to middlemen at very low rates. June to September, families worked on their own lands; those who owned no land, or rocky patches, migrated to find work. In October, people migrated to get wages for harvesting paddy; some migrated to find other kind of work.

November to January was the most difficult time; no agricultural labor work is available then. Except for those who had been lucky to save some money from wage earnings, families either migrated to seek non-agricultural labor, or borrowed from moneylenders. By a horribly cruel irony, November to January is the 'festival' time of extravagant expenditure and consumption of rich foods for middle class India.

Hamirpur Agricultural Profits

The Agriculture of Hamirpur imparting the lower profits to the national revenue . And there are no any efforts from government side to increase the total productivity.All the farmers in Hamirpur are essentially engaged in subsistence farming, which is highly Dependant on a rainfall.

Since the 1990s, profitability of agriculture has been affected seriously by rising costs used in cultivation like the coste of fertilizers, seeds, diesel,and this is not possible in lower economical Hamirpur.

Mustard was also grown. The yield per bigha was 10 kg. The minimum support price for this commodity that year was Rs 1600 a quintal. Hence, per bigha income from mustard can be assumed to be Rs 160. There was also income from sale of husk - around Rs 250 per bigha. Hence total income per bigha would have been around Rs 3866.

Assuming that households sell off the entire produce from land .Yearly input costs per bigha were as follows:

Fertilisers (1 bag diammonium phosphate + 1 bag urea)     = Rs 1070.00

Seeds (25 kg)                                                                               = Rs 275.00

Rent of diesel engine for pumping up tubewell water           = Rs 400.00

Diesel cost @ Rs 25 litres and use of 25 litres                        = Rs 625.00

Labour cost (ploughing + cutting + threshing)                       = Rs 800.00

Thus the total input costs for a year is Rs 3170 and the net profit per bigha would have been Rs 756. The majority of Hamirpur farmers have less than 10 bighas, and cultivate only in one season; so annual family income from agriculture, for the majority of farmers, in a well-irrigated area, in a year of good monsoon, at assured procurement prices, and assuming there were no disturbances such as a heat wave before harvesting, would have been only Rs 6000-Rs 10,000, taking into account other variables like quality of soil and use of unpaid household labor.

The majority of households with small land area have to depend on additional income by working in the field of large farmers, at road and other government or non-government construction sites. Some households would earn additional income through the sale of milk, goat, eggs or chicken When adequate such opportunities of earnings are not available in and around the village for the households, migration will be held.

The marginalized groups like scheduled tribes have poor agriculture productivity.

Agricultural Production of Hamirpur

As God gifted us good quality of soil. per the data of District-wise crop production statistics 2002-03 data Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, Hamirpur districts produced a total of around 2310 tons while the yielding is 3027 kg/hectare. And total annual production of gram in 2002-03 was over 970 tones, while gram is showing  an decrease in average agricultural output per hectare in last some years. The region also accounts for highest production of tur/arhar and masoor. Banda and Hamirpur are the state's top producers of jowar (around 980 tons /year)

However, Hamirpur rank nil in the production of rice.

Except some kinds of grains like Gram, San and Kodo. Yields have increased in Hamirpur over the past few decades, mainly due to increased area under irrigation and comparatively higher use of fertilizers.

However, Hamirpur remains a low agriculture productivity in comprising with Jalaun zone Yield of wheat and pulses and rice are in better condition in Jalaun. However, Hamirpur rank nil in the production  of Rice (see tables).

Agriculture in Hamirpur

Hamirpur's economy is mostly based on agriculture. District is situated in a Plain sub-region of Yamuna and Betwa, so over 70% of total area is used for cultivation.

According to India’s census figure, 70 per cent of Hamirpur's working population is engaged in agriculture.

Though yields are low due to irrigation facilities were not sufficient.Farmers depended mainly on rain water for irrigation.some other factors that affect the agricultural productivity.

1-Some factors, like weather, are out of the control of the farmer.Unusual rain patterns, such as drought, a long or nil rainy season, early or late frosts, and other factors, can ruin crops and bring agricultural productivity down. The capacity of a given land is also an important factor. Soil cannot be forced to produce beyond capacity, although farmers are using fertilizers so that it can support.

2 -Castles (Anna System) is a another concern.Now a days People are using tractors for cultivation and all other activities of harvesting thus there is no use of bulls in the field while in the past. Hamirpur's agriculture was depends on the labor of bulls.so the cow and there family steed free which decreases the productivity.Main Crop Categories are -

The Rabi crops are grown between the months mid November to April. Rabi crops require irrigation.Examples of Rabi Crops: Wheat, Gram, Pea, Mustard, Linseed, Barley.
Kharif crops are usually sown with the beginning of the first rains in July.Common kharif crops are-Millet, Maize (corn), Mung bean (green gram), Urad bean (black gram), Pea, Peanut (groundnut)

In 2012, the National Crime Records Bureau of India reported about the farmer suicides in Hamirpur and Banda. Reasons for farmer suicides, such as monsoon failure, high debt burdens, genetically modified crops, government policies and public mental health.

Suicides

From past some years we regularly getting some frequent reports of farmers committing suicide in Hamirpur and its surroundings. But no systematic efforts were done either by the government or by non-government organizations to find out the root cause and abolish  it. What we have are only press reports of specific cases when a person dies. 

Some of the suicide cases from the district, reported in newspapers and magazines, were as follows:

Case 1- Chandu alias Tulsidas, 55, of Kasba Sarila, Hamirpur district, had around 12 acres of land, which supported a family of 17 members, including three married sons and their wives and children. However, illness, and the drought, led to diminishing earnings from the land, forcing Chandu to taken loans from moneylenders. Some tractor dealer agents approached him and sold him the idea of taking a bank loan for a tractor, to increase income. As an incentive, the agents offered some cash upfront, whereby Chandu could pay some instalments of old debts. Chandu fell for the offer, but in the drought situation, the tractor brought in no income, and Chandu's total debt burden stood at Rs 8 lakhs.

As he was unable to repay any of this money, some moneylenders took possession of part of his land. Chandu approached his relatives for help, but nobody could help him. On May 8, 2007, after meeting some relatives in a nearby village, he killed himself by jumping into a well. 

Case 2- Kumhau pur village in Lalpura Zone, A farmer named Rajaram Nishad, 55, S/o Badanga has died by hang on a babool tree.His son named Anoop said that his father had two acre of cultivated land in which he cultivated Grass which was completly ruin due to untimely rain.

Both of the examples shows hunger or poverty-related deaths. Rather, they indicate gullibility. They also indicate high degree of desperation in a land where there appears little opportunity for quickly increasing one's income through legal means.

The figure of Banda district is highly abnormal.Banda district's Census 2001 population figure of 15.37 lakhs, one can expect around 30 to 40 suicides a year in the district. The figure quoted by Dainik Jagran implied that in 2004, the number of suicides in Banda was over ten times the 'norm'.

Migration

The term migration refers to the movement of population from one place to another. It may be of temporary or permanent type. According to  2002 BPL Survey Data  45% to 60% of households across Hamirpur villages have at least one member who migrates yearly or permanently inside the country to obtain sufficient income for survival. This income is sent home to family members.

Among all social groups in rural areas, scheduled tribes and scheduled castes are more likely to migrate. Members of Thakur and Brahmin households also migrate, but their reasons are opportunistic - driven by the desire to have a better life.

Temporary migrations may be annual, seasonal or even of a shorter duration, like daily.
about 30-40 per cent of migration is due to economic reasons, especially for seeking employment.

In Hamirpur the rural areas suffering from poverty, unemployment and excessive population-growth forces the youths for migrating to mega cities and industrial towns like Delhi and Surat For seeking casual or seasonal employment 

Majority of these migrants are illiterate or semi-literate and low-skilled workers or labor type who are compelled to leave their village home due to poverty and unemployment. Since district have low level of industrialization accept Bharwa Sumerpur Industrial Area.  

After analyzing the demographic and industrial development conditions one can find out that the cause behind migration is land size, and availability of irrigation. The more the land a household keeps, chances are less to migrate.

At around 9 pm, at Manikpur railway station one can find a good rush waiting for the train to Surat where they work in textile Mills.

Soil Types In Hamirpur

several kinds of soil are found across Hamirpur. Broadly, the soils fall into following categories:

1- Maar :It is a veriety of black soil.This type of soil contents high organic matter and clay. hence it is good for cultivation without using fertilizers. It is most precious soil.it is mostly found in Muskara. By proper handling it  is suitable for cultivation of gram and jowar.

2-Kabar : It is a black cotton soils and found in three different color. it is highly adhesive due to the clay content. Hence it retains moisture, and quickly turns to dry and into hard blocks.It is mostly found in Hamirpur sub lands as in Sumerpur, muskra and gahrauli. Wheat, gram and rice are cropped on it.

3-Rankar : It found on sloping surfaces of ravine land along river banks.It is a varieties of loamy, alluvial type soil which is suitable for cultivation where irrigation is available. It is a degraded kind of coarse soil found mostly in Rath and Gohand.

4-Purwa : Its type is sandy and variety of red soil,  has some clay content which easily accepts water.It is suited for cultivation of wheat.

5-Kachhar : Dark soils found along river beds and naalas, known as kacchar and tari soils, are used to grow water melons and vegetables.

The above types of soils soils suffers from over-drainage due to a large number of rivers and streams. A number of nalas flowing across the district which makes some parts of land worthless. Land is cut away by fast-flowing water. and flooding leads to loss of  top surface soil.

In Hamirpur, the problem is faced in Rath, Hamirpur and Maudaha tehsils, where a total of 2 lakh hectares, comprising 40% to 60% of the total area is affected. In Mahoba, around 1.5 lakh hectares in Charkhari and Mahoba tehsils is affected, according to data given in the 1988 by Hamirpur district gazetteer.

Industries

Sumerpur industries

It is true that industries are mother of prosperity. As we know that hamirpur is a under-developed region. Hens Industrialisation considered backward due to unorgnised system and lack of skilled labour. 

Some years ago there were several small and tiny industrial units were scattered across the region at Bharwa Sumerpur like Veenus Steel, Eswarya Ispaat, Hamirpur Alloys, Juhi steel, Rimjhim ispat ltd, Vaibhaw Ispat, Rekan Mill, and Hans Casting. The other industries were - Dhruw Sement, Sudarshan oxygen, Wandna Steel, Gautam Sement, Shushila Paper Mill, Jubli Paper Mill, Shiva Cement, Rajat Cardboard factory near Pandhari road. Sant Boxes Mills, Amit Packaging, Hamvila Pashu Ahar Kendra.

All these factories provided employment to the local as well as other state employees. But due to unpaid loans and limited skilled workforce most of the factories are locked out or about to close.

Currently  Hindustan unilever, Rimjhim, Juhi, Hans metals and Amit Packaging are running with continuty.

There is only one large manufacturing units in the entire region is Hindustan Unilever - a unit of the public sector. Other remaining most profitable industry in the region is casting of iron ore like - Rimjhim Ispat Ltd and Hans metmetals ltd.

There are no major export-oriented industries accept  Iron Steel rods and wire from  Rimjhim Ispat Ltd.

Inspit of these factories no modern industry has emerged in this region. But now a days administration are taking attention in this field and new factories are setting up like KD oil mills and concrete poles plants.

Bharwa Sumerpur is the only source of industrial' employment.

Sugar cane are produce in the district as a row material but there is no any sugar factory found in the district. Also The tourism sector is under-developed and only a few persons are doing efforts.
