Subsidiary occupations : The improvements mention-
ed above refer to the defects in the existing economic
organization of the village. There are yet avenues of in-
come which have hitherto not been tapped at all. These
are the subsidiary occupations for which raw materials
already exist in this village. Of these the principal ones
are mentioned below :
 (1)	rice-hulling,
 (2)	manufacturing of gul on an organised scale,
 (3)	canning of mango-pulp,
 (4)	manufacturing of vinegar from toddy,^1
 (5)	manufacturing of paper from a species of grass called
'Rohdo', which abounds in the village,

 (6)	spinning and weaving,
 (7)	animal husbandry,
 (8)	poultry-rearing,
 (9)	manufacturing of blankets,
(10) manufacturing of mortar, and
(i i) manufacturing of bricks.
If some of these industries are started, they will prove
doubly advantageous to the people. In the first place,
they will supply an additional source of earning to those
who annually migrate to outside areas in search of em-
ployment. Moreover, they will serve as openings to
absorb the agricultural population likely to be displaced
by any scheme of consolidation of holdings.
Reduction in expenditure : There are only two ways
of increasing material wealth : either increased income or
decreased expenditure, or both together. We have sug-
gested the ways in which the annual income of the village
under study can be augmented. We shall now suggest a
few methods of reducing expenditure. Some of these de-
pend upon the people themselves, and others depend
upon other agencies interested in the economic progress of
the people. Of the first category, there are two :
1 The   village   and   its   surrounding   area   abound   in   date-trees   from
which toddy is extracted.
