Of course, in the case of workers in the general population the percentage of cultivators declined from 41.58 to 38.75, while the percentage of agricultural labourers increased from 24.94 to 26.15 during 1981–1991. Cultivators declined to 31.7%, while the percentage of agricultural labourers remained almost the same during 1991 to 2001. The percentage of cultivators declined further to 24.60 in 2011, while agricultural labourers increased to 30%. However, the percentage of non-farming workers increased from 33.48% to 35.10% in 1991 and further increased to 41.5% and then again to 45.40% in 2011, indicating the occupational shift. In the case of STs, there was a decline in the percentage of cultivators and also in the percentage of agricultural labourers marginally, while there was an increase in the non-agricultural activities from 9.4% in 1971 to 15.8% in 2001. It increased further to 21.00% in 2011.

Thus, during 1971–2011 SC workers mainly remained as agricultural labourers, although there was some change in the composition of agricultural labour. That is, it was revealed from the village-level studies that the percentage of attached labourers declined significantly and converted as casual labourers due to market forces unleashed by the Green Revolution and state intervention in the form of anti-poverty programmes in the post-Green Revolution period (Nancharaiah, 1988, pp. 105–106). Many studies on poverty established that poverty has been concentrated among agricultural labour households (Hanumantha Rao. 2005, p. 210).
