The minimum wages for a farm labourer set by the government Are ` 60 per day, but wages of farm labourers in Palampur are less than minimum wages because there is heavy competition for work among the term labourers in Palampur, so people agree to work for lower wages.

The wages for farm laborers are less as the number of laborers is more than the availability of work. There is a stiff competition among the laborers.
