Question

3. What are the other services provided by the villagers?
​

Answer 1

A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.

Answer 2

In rural areas, the main occupation of people is agriculture. The other sources of income are as follows:

1. Some people are engaged in masonry, pottery, brick making, basket making and carpentry.

2. There are also teachers, barbers, washermen and mechanics to provide services to the people.

3. There are shopkeepers who sell the necessary goods and groceries like sweets, meat, eggs, bangles, medicines, clothes and fertilisers.
