Answer 1

Answer:

2.This statement is quite correct. Modern farming methods require chemical fertilisers, pesticides and modern farm equipments. All of these are manufactured in industries.

2.Electricity can help any village. Availability of electricity ensures better irrigation. It also means that villagers can engage in some manufacturing activities; like flour mills, jaggery production, etc. Children can study late in the evening and shopkeepers can do better business if proper electricity supply can be provided.

3.: As per estimates, 60% of the villages still need proper irrigation facility. Since land under cultivation cannot be increased hence increasing the area under irrigation is a major way to improve farm productivity.

5.There is more supply of workers than the demand. Due to this, the workers are not in a position to bargain from their employers. Hence, the wages for farm labourers are less than minimum wages.

6.People who work at construction site usually get the minimum wages. An unskilled worker gets around Rs. 250 per day. A skilled worker; such as a mason; gets around Rs. 500 per day.

7.Production can be increased by using HYV seeds, fertilisers and proper irrigation. Mixed farming can also be used to improve farm production
