Question

Describe distribution of land among the farmers of palampur ch1 economics class9

Answer 1

Hey mate

Here is ur answer

. The distribution of land is unequal not just in Palampur but across India. This is because a number of rural families are landless and they have to earn their living as agricultural labourers by working on the land of other people. Most of the farmers have small land holdings and very few people collectively own large share of land. This situation is replicated all across India.

Answer 2

(i)In Palampur, about one-third of the 450 families are landless, i.e. 150 families, most of them dalits, have no land for cultivation. (ii)Of the remaining families who own land, 240 families cultivate small plots of land less than 2 hectares in size.
