A) In Palampur, the yield of wheat grown from the traditional varieties was 1300 kg per hectare. With HYV seeds, the yield went up to 3200 kg per hectare. There was a large increase in the production of wheat. Farmers now had greater amounts of surplus wheat to sell in the markets.

B)To encourage non-farm activities in villages, some measures can be taken, which are as follows:

• (i) Banks should provide loans at low interest rates so that the poor villagers can start some business to help them earn a living.
• (ii) Government should be more active and start effective employment generating schemes. Government should provide training to the villagers in different small crafts.
• (iii) Government should provide facilities for transportation and selling of locally manufactured goods in the cities and industries can be set-up in rural areas.
