Introduction.. Palampur is well connected with neighbouring villages and towns. Many kinds of transport are visible here like bullock carts, tongas, commodities to motor vehicles like motor cycle, jeeps, tractors and trucks. Farming is the main activity in Palampur, Whereas several other activities such as small scale manufacturing, dairy, transport etc. are carried out on a limited scale.
This village is about 450 families belonging to several different castes. Their houses, some of them quite large while some live in much smaller houses. Most of families have electric connection. Electricity powers all the tube wells in the field is used in various types of small buisness. Palampur has two primary schools and on high school and health centre.
Organisation of Production.. The aim of production is to produce the goods and services that we want. There are major four requirements for production of goods and services which are land, labour, physical capital and human capital.
As we read through the story of village palampur, there is a rough scarcity or lack of organisation which support people of rural areas by many means such as by financial support by providing labour etc. several steps have been taken by the govt. of India to overcome these sorts of problems. Several organisation have been formed by some social workers to provide much support to the farmers in rural areas.
Factors of Production.. Every production is organized by combining land, labour, physical capital and human capital which are known as factor of production. ●First requirement is land and other natural resources example: water, forest and minerals. ●Second requirement is labour. People who do the work some production activities require workers who can do manual work.
● The third requirement is physical capital. The variety of inputs required at every state during production. ● There is fourth requirement too.. We need knowledge and enterprise to be able to put together land, labour and physical capital and produce an output either to use yourself or to sell in market. Thse days it is known as human capital.
Farming in Palampur.. ● LAND IS FIXED: Farming is the main production activity in Palampur. 75% of the people who are working are depended on farming for their livelihood. The well being of these people is closely related to peoduction on farms..
● IS THERE A WAY ONE CAN GROW MORE ON THE SAME LAND? Palampur would resemble a village of western part of the state of U.P. all farmers grow atleast two crops. They use multiple cropping as well as modern cropping methods..
Green Revolution.. The green revolution, late 1980s, introduced the Indian farmers to cultivation of wheat and rice using high yielding varieties (HYVs) of seeds. Compared to traditional seeds, HYV seeds promised to produce much greater amount of grain on a single plant. As a result, the same piece of foodgrains than was possible earlier..
Farmers of Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh were the first to try out the modern farming method in India. The farmers in these regions set up tubewell for irrigation and made use of HYV seeds..
Distribution of Land.. You must have realized how important land is for farming. Unfortunately, not all the people engaged in agriculture have sufficient land for cultivation. In Palampur about one third of the 450 families are landless, i.e. 150 families, most of them are dalits , have no land for cultivation. Of the remaining families who own land, 240 families cultivate small plots.
In 1960, Gobind was a farmer with 2.25 hectares of largely unirrigated land, with the help of three sons he cultivated the land. Though they didn’t live a very comfortably, the family managed to feed itself by farming.
Non-Farming Activities.. In Palampur 25% people work other than farming such as Dairy, small scale manufacturing, shopkeeper and transport. Dairy is the most common activity in families of villages.
In transport there are variety of vehicles on the road connecting Palampur to Raiganj like rickshaw, jeep, truck etc. They ferry the people…
Conclusion.. We conclude that Palampur has fairly well developed system of roads, transport, electricity irrigation, schools and health centres. Farming is the main productive activity in the village.. Over the years there have been many important changes in the way farming is practised. The new ways of farming need less land but capital. Many non-farming activities could increase in coming years.
