    How would income and employment increase if farmers were provided with irrigation and marketing facilities?

    Answer:

                    (i) The government can spend some money or banks can provide loans to construct wells to irrigate the land of poor farmers. (ii) Government can develop tourism or regional craft industries. It would encourage the small farmers to get additional income. (iii) Suppose a new dam is constructed and canals are dug to irrigate many farms, this could lead to lot of employment generation within the agricultural sector itself reducing the problem of underemployment. (iv) Poor farmers need seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural equipments. If the local banks give them credit at reasonable rate of interest, they will be able to buy them in time and cultivate their land. (v) Another way, by which we can tackle this problem, is to identify, promote and locate industries and services in semi-rural areas where a large number of people may be employed.
