Distinction between multiple Cropping and Modern Farming.

The surplus farm product is sold to the traders in the village who sell it to the shopkeepers in towns and cities. Farmers get good money in return for the surplus crop. This money cab be utilised for meeting their other needs of life service of carpenter, cobbler etc.

The various sources of irrigation are as follows:
(i) Wells, tanks and lakes
(ii) Pumping sets/ tubewells
(iii) Canals
(iv) Dams

Punjab, Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh tried out methods of farming. 
(i) Multiple Cropping: Under multiple cropping systems. more than one crop grown on same piece of land. It increase the production on same piece of land. For example, wheat, bajra and potato can be grown on the same piece of land.
(ii) Modern farming methos: It helps in increasing the yield of the land. For example, use of high Yield (HYN) of seeds, pesticides chemical fertilisers help in increasing the land productivity.

In Palampur, all land is cultivated in all seasons of the year and no land is idle. This is explained as below:
 1. Rainy season: Kharif farmers grow Jowar and Bajra.
 2. October to December: Potato is cultivated.
 3. Winter season:  Wheat is cultivated.
 4. Once every year: A part of the land is used for the production of sugarcane.

1. This statement is correct as investment in human capital creates employable and capable human resources who can work for the growth of businesses in the country.
2. It also helps in export of human capital to other countries from where foreign exchange can be earned for meeting the demand of the domestic imports
3. Also, better education and health facilities help in creating disciplined and capable human resources who become the asset for the country rather than a liability.

Farming is the main activity of the village Palampur. There are other activities such as small scale manufacturing, dairy, transport etc. Which is carried out on a limited scale .These production activities need various types of resources like natural resources, man-made resources, money etc.

Following is the list of non-farm production activities taking place in our region.
(i) Dairy
(ii) Priest
(iii)Tailor
(iv) Moneylender
(v) Bee-keeper
(vi) Call centre employee
(vii) Astronaut
Following are three features of non-farming activities
(i) These activities help in survival
(ii) These activities provide capital for further production of goods and services.
(iii) These activities helps in production of goods and services.

Kishora is involved in three production activities i.e., primary activities (selling buffalo's milk), second activities (bring clay for potter) and tertiary activities (transporter)

He might face when sugercane becomes expensive due crop. Also if he does not get regular electricity supply, he will not be able to use machine for cusing purpose which might result in loss.

The following are the different ways of increasing production on the same piece of land:
(i) Modern farming method It helps in increasing the yield of the land. For example, use of High yield variety (HYV) of seed, pesticides, chemical fertilizers help in increasing the land productivity.
(ii) Multiple Cropping.  Under multiple cropping system , more than one crop is grown on a piece of land. It increases the production on same piece of land. For example, wheat, bajra and potato can be grown on the same piece of land.

1. The wages for farm laboures in Palampur is less than minimum wages because there is heavy competition for work among the farm laboures in Palampur, so people agree to work for lower wages or whatever they are given as wages.
2. The minimum wages for a farm labourer set the government is #115 per day (April 2011) but actually it is only between #80 per day

The spread of electricity helped farmers in Palampur to run tubewells, pump sets for irrigation of fields. This way farmers can grow crops during non-rainy season. Electricity also helped in running machines like sugarcane crusing machine to help jaggery plant.

Yes, we agree that modern farming methods required more input which are manufactured in industry. The input requirements include chemical fertilizers, pesticides, High yielding (HYVs) of seeds. These can be produced only when they are produced by industry. There is a named IFFCO which is engaged in the production chemical fertilizers, pesticides etc.
