Question

Would you agree that the distribution of cultivated land is unequal in Palampur? Do you find a similar situation in India? Explain.

Accepted Answer

Yes, the distribution of land cultivated is unequal in Palampur. It is because many families in Palampur cultivate small plots of land. The livelihood of these people is closely associated with the production on the farms. Only few of the large farmers have land extending over $10$ hectares or more here.

Yes, we find a similar situation of unequal distribution of land in India as well. In India, marginal and small farmers constitute $55.4 %$ of the population, who cultivate about $15 %$ of the total cultivable land. On the other hand, medium and large farmers form $44.6 %$ of the population in the country who cultivate nearly $85 %$ of total cultivable land.
