  The major land in Garhwal was barren when British entered into Garhwal. Kamin or Sayane were interested for settling tenants in the cultivated or barren land.  There were tenants those were habitual of shifting one place to other. Therefore, Kamin started luring the tenants (Asami).

  The basic reasons for farmers (owner or tenants) were wild animals as tigers, leopards killing human beings and animals as deer, bores, bears, destroying the crops. There were epidemics in some particular regions for farmers for migrating other regions. The floods, drought, landslides  were also other causes for farmers leaving the places.

   Many people indulged in social norms crimes as marrying outcast or society compelled men for leaving their caste and in such cases, they had to flee their respective village for protection from social punishment. Many times, blind faith was also reason for a farmer shifting from one village to other village.

  Kamin /Sayana were trying their best for farmer tenants settling in their area.
