How did spread of electricity help farmers in palampur

Answer 1

Most of the houses in Palampur have electric connections. (ii) Electricity powers all the tube wells in the fields that help to irrigate much larger areas of land more effectively as compared to the traditional Persian wheel drawn by bullocks.

Agriculture requires energy as an important input to production. Agriculture uses energy directly as fuel or electricity to operate machines and equipment, to heat or cool buildings, and for lighting on the farm, and indirectly in the fertilizers and chemicals produced off the farm.
