CHAPTER VIII

MISCELLANEOUS OCCUPATION

(a)	Public Administration
(b)	Learned Professions
©	Personal and Domestic Services
(d)	Miscellaneous Services

In view of the predominance of population in rural areas, the main profession of the inhabitants of the district is agriculture. According to the 1971 census, 79.74 per cent of the total population live in villages and 20.26 per cent in towns, as against 76.27 per cent and 23.73 per cent, respectively, in the state as a whole. The economy of the district continues to be predominantly agricultural about 59 percent of the total working force of the district is dependent on agriculture. Most of the persons, who for seeking employment assistance in the employment exchanges in the district, are from the agricultural profession. The main communities engaged in cultivation are the Sikh, Rajputs, Sainis, Brahmans, Mahashas, etc.

The urban population in the district is mostly non-agriculturist and depends upon industries, transport, construction, trade and commerce and other miscellaneous occupations. Besides, there are some persons employed in allied trades such as commission agents and traders, engaged in sale and purchase of crops, etc. Persons in services and earning through miscellaneous sources form a very small proportion of the total population of the district. They include Government or semi-Government servants and persons employed in education, law, medical, engineering, personal and domestic services, etc. Besides, a good number of people come from rural areas to urban areas either to join the Armed Forces or to get unskilled jobs in factories, etc.

The total population of the district, according to the 1971 Census, was 12,29,249 (6,50,249 (6,50,282 males and 5,78,967 females) as against 9,87,994 (5,30,107 males and 4,57,887 females) in 1961. The total number of workers in 1971 was 3,24,852 (2,59,759 rural and 65,093 urban) of which 1,91,163 were cultivators and agricultural labourers and the remaining 1,33,689 other workers. Of the total working force of the district, 54,901 persons were engaged in ‘other services’, which included services like generation and supply of electricity and water besides sanitary, medical and public health, legal, business, recreational and personal services. These also included general labourers engaged in other miscellaneous occupations.

After the independence, the development activities in various fields opened new avenues of employment and, consequently, there has been an appreciable increase in employment in the different occupations. The main reason for increase in employment in these occupations is the general facilities available in cities, where these occupations are concentrated. The rapid industrial growth in the district, especially since the partition of the country in 1947, has provided good scope for the people to take up different occupations like manufacturing of machine tools, agricultural implements, sports goods, cycle spare parts, etc. On account of the growth and expansion of these industries, the pressure on land, which would have otherwise increased, has remained checked to some extent.

Apart from those engaged in industries, trade and commerce, transport and communications, agriculture, etc., a part of the population is engaged in other avocations, such as education, law, medical, engineering, personal and domestic services, etc. Besides, there are Government or semi-Government employees but they form a very small proportion of the total population of the district.
