2. Even the big farmer (10+ acres of land) makes little more than merely Rs 30,000 per month as a household.
3. The figures shared above are not merely farming incomes, but incomes of a farming household. They represent all income made by those families. As per the survey, only about a third of the income actually comes from agrarian activity.
