Solvent peasant: A minority of peasants are very
rich. They are landlords because they have large acres of land. They produce
more than what they need. So they can lead a prosperous and easy-going life.
The landlords are influential people in the villages. They also contribute to
various developmental initiative of the villagers like setting up schools,
mosques colleges, dispensaries, orphanage etc.
Knowledge: The learning methods of our peasants are
relatively obsolete. They still use bullocks and plough to till the lands. They
do not have knowledge about proper seed time, insecticide, and harvesting. As a
result, they often do not get good crops. They depend on nature for good
harvest instead of applying new and scientific methods in the fields. They are
often unable or unwilling to apply new methods and approach in cultivation. And
they are also often unable to buy tractors, machinery, sufficient fertilizers
and insecticides, and irrigate their lands. All these are responsible for poor
agricultural output and poor conditions of our peasants.
