Question

How does small scale manufacturing operate in village Palampur......... Long answer.......

Answer 1

(i)Small scale manufacturing in Palampur involved production on a small scale by using simple methods. For example, use of sugarcane crushing machines to procure jaggery in the field itself.

(ii)The production work was mostly carried out by family members themselves unlike big manufacturing outlets in towns where labourers are hired in huge number.

(iii)Very few people in the village were involved in this sector and because of small scale production, profit earned was also less.
