MAJOR FINDINGS The present research team has identified the following gap as the major research problems for the particular research area under study. That research gap should be addressed properly which can be summed up as major findings as below: Ø In the study area, sex ratio is very low, only 891 females per 1000 males observed. Ø It is observed that among total 80 households, majority of them (42.50%) belongs to very low per capita income (below Rs. 500), which contributes 44.8% of total population. Ø Only 59.56 % of the total population is literate in the range of less than Rs. 500 per capita income. Ø Less than Rs. 500 income group of people are day laborers (47.06%) in agricultural fields, brick kilns, rice mills, etc. while Rs. 2000 and above income populations are actively engaged in service sector (100%). Ø Among Rs. 500 income groups of people, kutcha type (97.06%) of houses is mostly found in the study area, followed by mixed type house (3.03%) and no pucca house is found in that income group of peoples. Among all sample household, only Rs. 2,000 and above income group of people’s enjoys a little better lifestyle. Ø Among Rs.500 per capita income population, very few have pit latrine (5.88%) and remaining 94.14% population are used open space for their sanitation. Ø Many villages in India still did not getting the facility of electricity. In the study area, some people are getting facility of electricity and some are still in dark. Ø As saving is surplus earning, the lower income (below Rs. 500) population cannot save their earning because management of three times meals and cloths is challengeable task within this income. A small portion (5.88%) of population try to save a little bit and a small portion (32.35) of population run insurance for marriage of their girls. SUGGESTION CONCLUSIONS The above analysis plainly indicates that overall socio-economic status of population in the village is not good. 44.8% of total sample population’s monthly income is below Rs. 500 and only 4.34%’s is above Rs. 2000. It is a serious matter of concern which should be addressed properly to find out appropriate solution to boost up the overall socio economic condition of the locality under study. Only a small percentage of people enjoy a little better livelihood leaving almost rest of the 96% people lies in the risky zone. The lower income groups of people mainly engaged in agricultural fields, rice mills, brick kilns or other places as day labour. Most of them are still not getting many facilities like electricity, safe drinking water, proper sanitation etc., where comparatively higher income peoples are getting some of these facilities. Although comparatively higher income population enjoy a little better life but lower income population’s socio-economic situation is very risky due to low level of literacy and low income creating many social issues and problems.
