Question
Why are farm labourers like Dala and Ramkali poor?
✓

Answer

  1. Dala and Ramkali are landless farm labourers. They work on daily wages in Palampur. This means that they must regularly look for work.
  2. The minimum wages for a farm labourer set by the government is 60 per day, but Dala and Ramkali get only 35-40.
  3. There is heavy competition for work among the farm labourers in Palampur, so people agree to work for lower wages. Both Dala and Ramkali are among the poorest people in the village.
