 Rajasthan is basically an agrarian economy. Most of its population lives in small villages and dhanies. It has a wide range of agro-climatic regions from very low rainfall in western part to high rainfall in south and south-eastern parts of the state. Major part of the state is, however, covered by arid and semi-arid climatic and uneven distribution of rainfall associated with lack of other water-resources for irrigated farming.

Growing of only one rainfall crop in kharif season that too associated with high risk has led to dependence of village community on livestock. More harsher the climatic conditions, higher was the shift towards animal component. Due to low capital investment capacity, lesser availability of agriculture credit and lack of adequate infrastructural facilities like roads, power, etc., farming system was more subsistence oriented than the commercial farming.
