Group 9A students from Palampur village studied the production activities in their village. Farming is the main occupation, with 75% of villagers dependent on agriculture. Land area under cultivation is fixed, though multiple cropping and modern farming methods have increased yields. Some villagers also engage in non-farm occupations like small manufacturing, dairy, transport and shopkeeping. These provide income for 25% of the population. Farm outputs are sold locally or to traders who supply markets and urban areas. Capital requirements are a challenge for small farmers, who sometimes borrow from large farmers or moneylenders.
