1. Unequal Distribution of Agricultural Engagement
Among Annadata households in 2024–25, OBCs dominate agriculture, forming 46% of all agricultural households and 48% of the Annadata population. The General category accounts for 24%, while SCs and STs make up 16% and 14% respectively. Notably, STs are overrepresented in agriculture relative to their share in the total population (10%), indicating a higher dependence on farming within tribal communities.

2. Deep Financial Disparities Across Social Groups
Financial patterns reveal stark inequalities. General and OBC households hold stronger financial positions with higher shares of income, surplus, and savings. However, OBCs carry the heaviest debt burden (54%), indicating reliance on credit. In contrast, SCs manage moderate financial stability but face rising debt, and STs show the most vulnerability, with the lowest savings (9%) and least access to credit (4% of debt share), highlighting their limited financial participation.

3. Non-Farm Income Crucial for Marginalized Groups
A majority of SC (62%) and ST (59%) Annadata households rely on non-farm income sources to supplement farming. This diversification reflects both economic adaptation and vulnerability, as farming alone no longer sustains marginalized groups. In contrast, General category farmers derive 60% of their income from farming, pointing to structural inequalities in income sources. These insights demand targeted interventions in skilling, credit access, and non-farm employment for SC/ST farming households.
