Laxmi owns about two hectares of unirrigated land, and is dependent only on rain and growing crops, like jowar and arhar. All five members of her family work in the plot throughout the year. They have nowhere else to go for work. Everyone is working, and none remains idle, but in actual fact, their labor effort gets divided. Each one is doing some work but no one is fully employed.
