Key Points:

1. Main Activity: Farming

Most people are farmers.

Land is limited, so they use modern methods (HYV seeds, fertilizers, machines) to increase production.

Multiple cropping is common (growing more than one crop on the same land).



2. Factors of Production:

Land, Labour, Capital (tools, money), and Entrepreneurship.



3. Inequality in Land Ownership:

Few families own most land.

Many are landless or small farmers who work on others' fields.



4. Non-Farming Activities:

Dairy, shopkeeping, small manufacturing, and transport also provide jobs and income.
