Kalpattu is a village that’s close to the sea coast in Tamil Nadu. People here do many kinds of work.
As in other villages, here too there is non-farm work such as making baskets, utensils, pots, bricks,
bullock-carts etc.
There are people who provide services such as blacksmiths, nurses, teachers, washermen, weavers, barbers, cycle repair mechanics and so on. There are also some shopkeepers and traders. In the main street, which looks like a bazaar, you will find a variety of small shops such as tea shops, grocery shops, barber shops, a cloth shop, a tailor and two fertiliser and seed shops. There
are four teashops, which sell tiffin – such as idli, dosai and upama in the morning and snacks like vadai, bonda and mysorepak in the evening. Near the teashops in a corner lives a
blacksmith family whose home serves as their workshop. Next to their home is a cycle hire and repair shop. Two families earn a living by washing clothes. There are some people who go to the nearby town to work as construction workers and lorry drivers.
Thulasi is the poorest in Kalpattu as she is landless so she can only earn for few months till harvest. And need to find another work for the remaining time for survival………
There are basically 3 types of people who depend on farming are
• Big landowners
• Small Landowners
• Landless farmers
Above all landless farmers are the poorest people as they get earning during the season after the harvesting season they have to search for the other works for which they are paid very less. So in Kalpattu Thulasi are the poorest one.
