CHAPTER VIII

MISCELLANEOUS OCCUPATIONS

v Public Administration

v Learned Professions

v Personal and Domestic Services

v Miscellaneous Services

An account of the occupations of the working force engaged in the major sectors of the district’s economy like agriculture, industry, banking, trade and commerce, transport and communications, has been given in the preceding chapters. But there is yet another section of the population, which earns its income from other pursuits, that remains to be accounted for. Its contribution to the economic well-being of the district is considerable. This section renders useful services to the community by following learned professins, and other occupations like tailoring, carpentry, hair-cutting, shoemaking, laundries, etc.

Kapurthala District is predominantly a rural district and the main professio of its inhabitants is agriculture. According to the 1971 Census, 76.8 per cent of the total population of the district lived in villages and 23.2 per cent in towns. Out of the total working force of the district, 46.08 per cent were cultivators and 15.38 per cent were agricultural lab ourers. As the land can hardly provide the ever increasing population with full-time employment, a good number of people from the rural areas are migrating to the urban areas to find some unskilled jobs in factories, etc. The urban population is mostly non-agriculturist and is engaged in industries, trade and commerce, transport and other miscellaneous occupations.

The total population of the district in 1981 was 5,45,249 (2,87,286 males and 2,57,963 females) as against 4,29,514 (2,27,331 males nd 2,02,183 females) in 1971. The total number of workers in 1971 was 1,19,313 (1,17,126 males and 2,187 females) of which 54,982 were cultivators, 18,356 agricultural la bourers, 17,272 wereengged in manufacturing, processing and repairs, 1,875 in construction, 9,375 in trade and commerce, 2,872 in transport, storage and communications, 481 in livestock, forestry, fishing, hunting and plantation, orchards and allied activities, one in mining and quarrying and 14,116 were engaged in other services which included services like generation and supply of electricity and water besides sanitary, medical and public health, legal, business, recreational and personal services. These also included general labourers engaged in other miscellaneous occupations.

After the partition of the country in 1947, the new natinal set-up and the rapidly developing economy have opened up vast avenues of employment. The development of industries in the district has also provided better employment opportunities for the people. Persons in services and earning through miscellanous sources form a very small proportion of the total populatoion of the district. They include Government or semi-Government servants and persons employed in education, law, medical, engineering, personal and domestic services, etc.

(a) Public Administration

Central, State and Local Government Services:

After the Independence of the country, the expansion of different departments and creation of several new ones have been instrumental in the increase of number of Government employees. It is apparent from the fact that as on 31 March 1982, the total number of Government employees in the district was 8,353.

The security of service, pension and other various amenities enjoyed by the Government employees attract people to the Government services. The amenities provided to the Central, State and Local Government employees include dearness and house rent allowances, provident fund benefit, medical reimbursement, loans for the construction of houses and for the purchase of vehicles, etc. The Government gives rent-free residential accommodation to the police officials. the railway authorities provide quarters on nominal rent and issue free privilege passes for travel to its employees and their families. They are provided with uniforms and other various benefits also. Class IV employees under the State and Central Governments are also given free liveries. Leave (casual and earned) is allowed to every Government employee in times of need. Female employees are entitled to maternity leave.

Public Employees’ Organization:

The following public employees’ Organizations function in the district. These unions have be en formed by the employees to safeguard their interests:

1. The Kapurthala Central Co-operative-operative Bank Employees, Union, Kapurthala.

2. Municipal Employees’ Union, Kapurthala.

3. Municipal Employees’ Union, Phagwara.

4. Municipal Sweepers’ Union, Phagwara

(b) Learned Professions

These professions include teachers, doctors, lawyers and engineers. They are spread all over the district. The information regarding each of these professions in the district is given below:

Educational Services:

Among the learned professions, the teaching profession absorbs a large number of persons. On 30 September 1981, there were 14 colleges (12 Arts and Science and 2 Teachers’ Training) in the district. The number of teachers working in 10 higher secondary schools, 79 high schools/post basic schools, 63 middle schools/senior basic schools and 486 primary/presumption-primary junior basic schools in the district as on 30 September 1981 was 3,735. The pay scales of the teachers are now fairly good and attractive.

Medical and Health Services:

The medical profession, in general is attracting increasingly more number of persons since there is need for them and more so it is found to be a lucrative one. There are doctors, qualified dentists, nurses, midwives, etc., working in various hospitals and dispensaries in the district. Doctors, who do independent practice, earn according to their own ability and the paying capacity of the patients.

The number of ayurvedic and unani institutions in the district, as on 1 April 1982, was 25 and 2, respectively. The number of hospitals, primarily health centers and dispensaries in the district, as on 1 April 1982, was 7,6 and 66, respectively. The number of doctors, midwives, nurses and dais working in the district as in 1981 was 20, 28, 758 and 699 respectively. Besides, a number of M. B., B. S. doctors and registered medical practitioners also render medical service in the district.

Legal Services. –The profession includes advocates, pleaders and munshis. This is an important as well as paying profession in the district. During recent years, it has attracted a large number of persons. The lawyers occupy a high status in the society. According to the 1971 Census, the number of legal practitioners and advisers in the district was 80.

There are three associations in the district, one at the district headquarters and two at the tahsil headquarters at Phagwara and Sultantur Lodhi. These associations render useful services to its member and are responsible for maintaining professional conduct and discipline among them.

Engineering Services. – Engineers also occupy an important place and contribute towards the economic development and technological progress of the district. The engineering services are well represented at the district headquarters as well as at the sub divisional level. The details of the persons employed in engineering services of the Government departments are given in Chapter XIII, ‘Other Department’. Besides, there are some persons who are engaged in allied professions as contractors, architects or consulting engineers. According to the 1971 Census, the number of architects, engineers and surveyors in the district was 20.
