Answer 1

“The Story of Village Palampur” is an effort to explain the process of production, focusing on the role played by different factors of production and their relative importance in production activities. Production is an act of transforming inputs into outputs. The four main factors of production are: Land, Labour, Capital and Entrepreneur. Land consists of all the free gifts of nature such as: air, forests, water, minerals, soil, etc. Labour refers to all human efforts of body or mind, undertaken in the expectation of reward. Capital refers to all those physical assets which help in further production of goods and services su uch as machine, raw materials, money etc. Capital can further be classified into fixed capital and working capital.

For increasing production on the limited area, farmers practice multiple cropping and modern farming methods. Multiple cropping is the practice of growing two or more crops on the same piece of land during the year.
