In agriculture, it is when five family members work a field that needs only two, hiding the fact that three have zero extra output. But as a policy maker, I see that 'disguise' as a social safety net—removing those three without MNREGA-like alternatives would expose raw hunger. My own roof leaks every monsoon because my father insists his brother 'helps' on our tiny plot, even though the work is done by noon. That’s why I push for MNREGA projects: to give that unproductive brother real wages to fix my roof, instead of pretending to farm.
