Question

What are negative impact of distribution of land in palampur?

Answer 1

75 % of people depend on farming. Land area in the village under cultivation is fixed. Since 1960 there has been no expansion in land area under cultivation. No further scope to increase farm production. Land is fixed for agriculture in the village.Land is unevenly distributed among the farmers of the villages. Some farmers have large lands while some have very small and others have no land at all. Gobind a farmer in Palampur had 2.25 hectares of land. After his death his land is further distributed among his four sons. In this way in every village the land is getting divided hereditarily into smaller and smaller. These divisions may result in poor and unsatisfactory production leading to poor economic status to the country.
