Explanation:
Farming is the most important activity in Palampur. Almost 75 percent of the working population is involved in farming activities. The story of village Palampur is incomplete without the farming activities. One important to notice in the village is that for a long time there has been an increase in the land area which is under cultivation.
Many wastelands were converted to cultivable land but there exists no further scope to increase this land under cultivation. Thus, as a measure, the people in the village have started cultivating more crops on the same land. All the cultivable is used throughout the year.
No land is idle in Palampur. During winter or Rabi season, people grow wheat and sugarcane. While during Kharif season people grow bajra and jowar. Between the months of October and December, people cultivate potatoes. The main reasons as to why farmers are able to grow multiple crops throughout the year are:
Due to the availability of electricity in the village, the irrigation system has been vastly improved.
The lands on which irrigation is been done has improved efficiency.
Due to multiple cropping, farmers are able to grow more than one crop per year.
Now, all the farmers in the village grow at least two crops using the same land every year.
Initially, tube wells were introduced by the government, but now people have been setting up their own tube wells.
Modern farming methods have contributed to a larger yield of crops.
This higher yield is possible only due to a combination of irrigation, HYY seeds, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, etc.
