Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Apart from farming, people in rural areas rely on forest products, animal husbandry, dairy products, fishing, etc. Farming and forest collection are essential income sources in some Central India villages. Collecting Mahua, tendu leaves, and honey to sell to traders is a significant source of extra income. Villagers use Maua leaves to make plates, cones, and bowls they sell and use during traditional celebrations. Each Mahua tree sheds over 200 kg on average, and a household can earn anywhere between Rs 1,000 and 2,000 per year, depending on how much one can gather and sell. Hence the correct statement would be Collecting Mahua, tendu leaves, and honey to be sold to traders is the source of income.
