Answer 2

Answer:

Describe the distribution of land among farmers in Palampur.

Land is very important for farming. Unfortunately, not all the people in Palampur have

sufficient land for cultivation. Out of 450 families in Palampur, only 240 families

cultivate plots less than 2 hectares in size and 150 Dalit families are landless. The

remaining 50 families of medium and large farmers cultivate more than 2 hectares of

land. A few large farmers have land extending over 10 hectares or even more.

Cultivation from plots of land less than 2 hectares in size does not bring adequate income

to the farmers family. On the other hand, half of the areas of the village is covered with

plots quite large in size. Thus, land in Palampur is unevenly distributed.
