Answer 1

Non-farming production activities

In villages, people are dependent mainly on agriculture for income. To help them gain income from other activities, the government should encourage the following by providing loans and other supports required:

1. Improved transport system will help the villages to travel to nearby places for employment.
2. Setting up schemes for employment and minimum wages will help them with alternate source of income.
3. Encourage non-farming activity like dairy farming and other cottage industries like pottery, handicrafts, weaving, etc.

Answer 2

Answer Explanation:

At present, the non-farm sector in the village is not very large. out of every 100 workers in the rural areas in India, only 24 are engaged in non farm activities. Through there is a variety of non-farm activities in the villages, the following steps can be taken:-

1. Electricity supply needs to be improved in villages. This will encourage the establishment of small-scale industries there.
2. More and more villages should be connected to towns and cities through good roads, transport and telephone. It will increase the opportunity for non-farm activities in villages.
3. Another thing which is essential for expansion of non-farm activities is to have markets where goods and services produced can be sold. In Palampur, we saw the neighbouring villages, towns and cities provide the markets for milk, jaggery, wheat etc.
