Indian Copper Complex (ICC). Five villages were randomly selected in which all households

dominated by backward classes and schedule caste. Land holding patterns revealed that
marginal and small farmers were main categories of farmers in the villages. The proportion of
landless households was nearly 10%. Literacy percentage in male and female was 52 percent
and 48 percent respectively. Agriculture was main source of livelihood in all selected villages
followed by wage (agriculture and non agriculture labours), industries worker and service in
the villages. It was also observed that 31 percent land was wasteland in the villages which
can easily be converted in agriculture land and forest land. Among livestock small ruminant
