STANDARD OF LIVING
|
 |
INTRODUCTION.
IN THE ABSENCE OF A COMPREHENSIVE AND DETAILED SURVEY of the incomes and pattern of expenditure of various sections of the people residing in different parts of the district, it is almost impossible to present an exact account of their standard of living. Working knowledge of the prevalent standards of living is, however, very useful for economic, social and administrative planning. An attempt has, therefore, been made to indicate the standards of living of different sections of the people staying in rural as well as urban areas. The account is based on tabulated and descriptive information collected by direct contacts with persons concerned, during the course of the survey. While actual observations and indirect checks bear sufficient testimony to the accuracy of the general outlines of the picture so revealed, no statistical accuracy is contemplated or claimed for the findings.
