(ii) The minimum wages for farm labourer set by the government is ` 115 per day, they get only ` 80. (iii) There is heavy competition for work among the farm labourers in Palampur, so people agree to work for lower wages.

Due to this seasonal unemployment, they remain poor and are unable to repay the loan and fall into a debt trap.
