(i) the average Kaliparaj farmer is made to understand,
through education and propaganda his own well-being;
and
(ii) better credit facilities are made available to both
classes of farmers big and small at a low rate of interest.
We believe that the area under irrigated crops can be
increased to a figure larger than 96 acres if boring opera-
tions are performed by government or if bunds are erected
at different points in the Auranga river that flows only at
a distance of three miles to the South of this village, and
water is thereby provided to the village under study as
well as to other neighbouring villages through canals.
MAIN CONCLUSIONS
Having thus considered the four principal features of
the environment, we may summarise the main conclusions
as under:
 (1)	The rainfall in the village under study is uncertain
both in its total quantity and as regards its seasonal dis-
tribution.
 (2)	Climatic conditions of this place vary greatly and
exercise a powerful influence for good or bad on the far-
mer and his occupation.
 (3)	The soils of the village are deficient in plant-foods
and largely poor in character.
 (4)	The only permanent source of irrigation is wells
whose supply of water is uncertain.
