Results are enormous as shares of main workers to the total population are decreasing, whereas numbers of marginal workers are increasing continuously, primary sector of the economy is trailing for its place, ease, and importance. At the same time, secondary sector is not developing as per developing Indian economy and is not in a position to cater the employment needs of the population of Malihabad. Demographic changes further affect the economic growth and development, and more population surely will create more pressure on local resources; mainly water, vegetation, and soil.
