Miscellaneous occupations, such as public service, learned professions including law, engineering medicine, etc., and the domestic and personal services, all employ about 19,766 persons. However, no regular occupational survey of the district has yet been undertaken.
Ludhiana is predominantly a rural district, with about 69.2 per cent of its population living in villages. According to 1961 Census, total population of the district comprised 10,25,519 persons, of which 7,07,776 were rural and 3,14,743 urban. Agriculture is the main occupation of the people in the rural areas. the total number of workers of the district, according to 1961 Census was 2,95,019 (2,03,775 rural and 91244 urban ) The Census of 1961 registered 1,29,787 as cultivators and agricultural labourers and the remaining 1,65,232 as other workers. Of the total working force ,53216 were engaged in “Other Service” which included services like generation and supply of electricity and water besides sanitary, medical and public health, legal, business, recreational and personal services. They also included general labourers engaged in other miscellaneous jobs. After the partition the new national set up and the development economy in the country has opened up new avenues of employment and there has been a large increase in these occupations. The main reasons to which the increase can be attributed are the general facilities of the city life, where these occupations are concentrated . The rapid industrial development in the district, especially since the petition, has provided unprecedented scope for the people to take up diverse new occupations like hosiery goods and cycle spare parts manufacturing industry.
The urban population in the district is mostly non-agriculturist and depends upon industries, commerce, transport, construction services and other miscellaneous occupations. Persons in services and earning through miscellaneous sources form a very small proportion of the total population of the district . They include Government or semi-Government servants and persons employed in education, law medical, engineering, personal and domestic services, etc.
Public Services.- Jobs in Government offices are, as ever, highly valued in society. During recent years, the number of such jabs has considerably increased, as new development departments have come into existence in the district . With the opening of Pilot Project for intensive cultivation, which is being implemented in the district since 1961, there has been a considerable rise in the number of Government servants employed in the development blocks and under the Pilot Project Scheme. Ludhiana district has been included in the Intensive Agricultural Development Programme (I.A.D.P) since 1961-62, which has resulted in the employment of a number of persons under the scheme in the district. The number of State Government employees including Central Government and local bodies employees, etc., in the district according to 1961 Census was 6,529.
The State, the Central and local Government institutions provide different amenities for their employees in the form of dearness and house rent allowance, provident fund benefit, free medical service, loans for construction of house and purchase of vehicles, advance for the purchase of wheat, etc. The Government provides free accommodation to police employees. The Minister of Railways provides quarters on normal rent and issue free and privilege passes for travel to employees and their families. Uniforms are also provided them. Class IV employees under the State and Central Government are also given free liveries. Patwaris are paid house rent at the rate of Rs. 6 per month. Security of service, pension and other such amenities attract people to Government Service.
A good number of public employees unions function in the district. These Union have formed by Government employees to safeguard services interests and for recreation and cultural purpose. A list of such union has been given on pages 610-12 of Chapter XVII ‘Other Social Services’.
Army.- The recruiting centre at the district
headquarters provides recruits to the Defence Services in very large numbers.
The District played a prominent part during the World Wars I and II. The number
of recruits provided by the district to the Armed Forces during World Wars II
was 29,878. The recruits from the district also got gallantry awards during the
War. During Jammu and Kashmir operations the district received 2 Maha Vir
Chakras and gallantry awards. About 350 parents in the district got war jagirs.
These jagirs were given to the parents who enrolled three or more sins during
the World War II.
On March 31, 1966 the number of ex-servicemen (military pensioners) in the district was 14,643. A large number of servicemen belonging to this district fought in the NEFA and Ladakh against the Chinese in 1962 and won gallantry awards. During the conflict with Pakistan in 1965, this district too, provided a good number of soldiers, who fought bravely and won gallantry awards.
Educational
Services.- Ludhiana has been a progressive
district n the sphere of education. It is one of the highly advanced districts
of the State so far as education is concerned. The First Revised Settlement
Report of Ludhiana district, 1878-83, “
The district is not backward in comparison with the average of province”1.
With the draw of independence, the district has made further remarkable
progress in the field of education. On march 31, 1966, besides professional
institutions, there were 9 colleges, 33 higher secondary schools (including 3
multi-purpose), 91 high schools, 89 middle schools and 675 primary schools
(including 43 basic schools) in the district.
1 Gorden
Walker, “Final Report on the Revision of Settlement of Ludhiana District,
1878-83, p.77’
The
number of teachers employed in primary, middle, high/higher secondary schools and
colleges in the district in 1965-66 was 3,456 , 2,437 , 1,094 and 641
respectively.2
2 Statistical Abstract of Punjab, 1967, p. 387.
The pay scales of the
teachers are fairly good, as compared with those counter parts in other
professions. The teachers with two years’ services are also permitted to appear
in certain university examination privately by the Punjab University.
There is paucity of trained sciences teachers,- especially women
teachers, for their appointment in rural areas. The absence of the provision of suitable residential
accommodation in villages compels teachers to reside in urban areas and travel
daily to and back from schools. This
greatly hampers the extra-curricular and social activities of schools.
Medical Profession. – These services include persons employed in
medical services rendered by organisations and individuals such as hospitals,
nursing homes, maternity and child welfare clinics as also by unani, ayurvedic,
allopathic and homeopathic practitioners and persons employed in maternity
services. In olden days people in rural
areas could not seek medical advice at the time of illness. The number of doctors and medical
practitioners is on the increase. The
medical practitioners generally have their small colonies and dispense their
own prescriptions. In view of the
obligations of a welfare Government to provide medical aid to citizens, the
State has opened Hospitals, Health Centres and Dispensaries which are manned by
qualified doctors, vaids and hakims.
On
the veterinary side, a net-work of veterinary hospitals and dispensaries has
been spread in the district to improve the cattle breed and treat various
diseases among animals.
There
are four big private hospitals located at Ludhiana- Miss Browns’ Memorial
Hospital, Daya Nand Hospital, Kapur Maternity Hospital and Akki Bai Eye
Hospital, which are rendering very useful service to the public. Besides, there are Civil Hospitals at Ludhiana
and Khanna.
The
associations formed by the members of medical profession in the district are
Ayurved Mandal, Ludhiana ; The All-India Homeopathic Medical Association,
Ludhiana Branch ; The National Medical Association of India ; Punjab Brach,
Ludhiana and All-India Private Medical Practitioners’ Association, Ludhiana.
The
number of Doctors, Vaidyas/Hakims, Upvaidyas, compounders, Midwives, Nurses and
Dais in the district in 1966 was 1,359, 19, 19, 3,842, 3,188 and 793,
respectively3.

Legal Profession. –The legal profession is an important occupation
in the district. It has attracted an
increasing number of persons in recent years.
The profession includes barristers, advocated, pleaders and munshis. According to 1961 Census, there were 276
persons engaged in legal services.
Engineering
Profession. – The engineering services are
fairly well-represented at the district headquarters. The persons employed in
engineering services of the Government departments have been discussed in the
Chapter XIII ‘Other Departments’. In
addition to these, there are a number of persons who are carrying on their
profession as contractors, architects or consulting engineers. The number of architects, engineers and
surveyors, according to 1961 Census was 276.
Transport
Services. – Transport plays an important part
in the economy of the district. The
district, after partition, has developed into a nerve centre of transport. In 1965-66, there were as many as seven private
transport companies operating in the district.
The goods transport has also received a considerable fillip, due to
rapid industrialisation of the district.
The transport workers employed in the various transport companies include drivers, conductors, etc. According to 1961 Census, there were 9,612 persons engaged in transport, storage and communication services, against 2,105 in 1951.
Besides the motor vehicle companies, there are
rickshaw pullers, tonga-drivers and scooter rickshaw-drivers. The rickshaw owners invest money on the
purchase of the vehicles and rent them out to rickshaw pullers. The rickshaw charges in the district are
moderate. Tongas have received a
setback after partition owing to the increasing popularity of the rickshaw and
auto-mobiles. There are only a few
tongas seen plying on the city roads, but these are still in use for taking
passengers to the country side. The
growing use of the buses and tempos (three wheeled vehicles) by the villagers
in recent years has adversely affected the income of country tongawalas, too.
Few motor-car owners can afford to keep a driver. Almost all of them drive their cars themselves. Transport workers, like drivers, conductors and cleaners have been employed by the transport companies. They are provided with facilities, such as uniforms, bonus and allowance for overtime. Their income and social status is far better then that of the rickshaw pullers and tonga drivers. The transport workers have their unions to safeguard their interests.
Personal
Services. – Among these are included barbers,
washermen, laundry services, tailors, water carries, weavers, cobblers,
carpenters and the like. The following
services employ a considerable number of persons :-
Barbers. – The old practice of engaging Lagi (nai) is still
in vogue in nearly all the villages, but this has become altogether out-of-date
in urban areas of the district. In
villages the barber is still required to be present on certain religious ceremonies,
besides attending to clients at their houses.
He gets his remuneration in kind at the time of harvesting.
The hair-dressing saloons in urban areas are
becoming popular. The practice of
visiting the houses of their customers by the barbers is fast
disappearing. The customer also finds
it more convenient and cheaper to visit the saloon. The barbers have their well-arranged shops with latest implements
for hair dressing and cutting, where they charge 75 paise to Rs. 1.25 paise for
a hair cut and 25 to 30 paise for a shave.
There is also one lady hair-dressing saloon in Ludhiana. The barbers in rural area, however, called nain,
does some sort of periodical hair cleaning and hair dressing of the women folk
of the families to which the barber is attached.
The persons employed in this profession were 1,076 according to 1961 Census as against 267 in 1951. The barbers in the towns have their unions, which enjoin upon members to follow certain rules and regulations concerning their economic and social condition. Tuesdays are generally observed as holidays by the barbers and they keep their saloons closed.
Washermen. – Most of the washermen live in urban areas,
because the villagers generally do their washing themselves. The laundries in urban areas have become
much popular these days and these do both washing and ironing of clothes. The laundry business has adversely affected
washermen, since laundry-men are more prompt and efficient as compared to old
style washermen. In Ludhiana, a number
of concerns are engaged in dry-cleaning business and most of them have their
own plants. They charge about Rs. 3 for
the dry-cleaning of a woolen suit.
The total number of washermen, which was 678
according to 1951 Census, rose to 1527 in 1961. the average rates for washing and ironing throughout the district
vary from 20 to 25 paise and 10 paise respectively.
Tailors. – The number of tailors, cutters, furriers and
related workers in the district was 5,335 according to 1961 Census, out of
which 2,522 were urban tailors. The urban
tailors make pants, trousers, coats shirts, bush-shirts, cotton and
woolen-suits for men and women, jackets, nightgowns, achkans, skirts,
lady-coats, salwars and blouses. The
tailors in rural areas generally make ‘kurtas’, payjamas, shirts, underwears,
salwars and ghagras. The rural tailors
have now started making bush-shirts.
The rates charged by the tailors in urban and rural areas vary very
much.
The tailors both in rural and urban areas now paid in cash. Most of the tailors have their own sewing machines and work independently. They also work on commission basis with some good concern. The old practice of tailors working at the houses of clients is still in vogue on marriages. The elite of the town or the general public on occasion of marriages or big orders may call tailors to their houses.
