(ii) In making the schedules we have entered the income
from external sources separately, in the column headed
'unskilled labour', with a view to ascertain to what extent
the economy of this village is affected by extra sources of
income.
(iii) In the column headed 'other sources' we have en-
tered the receipts from subsidiary occupations, like mat
making pursued by Dhodia women and net making fol-

As regards the expenditure side, we have explained
in the last chapter how we have calculated the expendi-
ture necessary for maintaining the standard of living for
the Kaliparaj and the majority of the Ujaliparaj, and have
given the actual figures regarding the remaining families.
Besides this expenditure for necessaries, the families have
to incur expenditure by way of annual payments
of land revenue and interest charges on debt, as well as
the annual expenses on repairs of implements used
in cultivation. The first two need little explanation;
the method used in connection with the last has been ex-
plained in Chapter VIII under the heading 'Implements',
The figures of indebtedness which we have entered in
the different schedules are, of course, what we obtained
directly from the people, after a good deal of cross exami-
nation in our house-to-house enquiry.
These introductory remarks, regarding the method of
collecting information before entering it in the schedules,
are important in view of the fact that the statistics given
in this chapter are wholly based on personal investigations.
One more thing of importance may be mentioned here.

and indebtedness of the people we have rejected eleven
families out of 461. Thus the statistics and the remarks
that follow refer only to the remaining 450 families.
Henceforth the term village will be taken to imply these
