ANSWER:
The three main benefits of electricity in Palampur are:
- for powering tube-wells for irrigation purpose
- running threshers for quicker harvestings and dams
- running machineries for business purpose.
EXPLANATION:
The benefits of electricity in Palampur were
(i) Electricity powered the tube-wells in the fields which facilitated in irrigating larger land areas more effectually when compared with the bullocks drawing the traditional Persian wheel.
Therefore the whole cultivated area of 200 hectares came under irrigation and farmers were not dependent on the vagaries of monsoon or rainfall
(ii) With electricity, the irrigation facilities increased, as such farmers could grow many different crops in a year.
Before electricity spread, there were disputes amongst farmers with regard to sharing pond and canal water, which were resolved. It also facilitated small businesses run their machineries such as sugarcane crushing machine, drilling and threshing of crops for faster harvesting
