The Dantwala Committee and After-Reply

3 Of course, the number of employers may be in any case small in smaller villages. But we have checked that out of all villages where 7 or fewer employers account for most of casual labour employment, in 57 per cent of them the number of such dominant employers is significantly less than that of big farmers (presumably the major employers of labour) in the village. We should also note that the number of labour families per head of such dominant employers in the village is higher for advanced than backward villages (62 on an average for the former arid 42 for the latter).
