Would you agree that the distribution of cultivated land
is unequal in Palampur? Do you find a similar situation for India? Explain.
Answer:
Yes,
I agree that the distribution of cultivated land is unequal in Palampur,
because out of the 450 families, 150 families are landless, 240 families
cultivate small plots of land less than 2 hectares in size whereas 60 medium
and large farmers cultivate more than 2 hectares of land and a few of them have
land extending over 10 hectares or more, which shows that medium and large farmers
have more land though they are numerically smaller.
This clearly shows the inequality in
the distribution of cultivated land.
According to the graph, a similar situation exists for India also which
means that 80 per cent of the small farmers cultivate only 36 per cent of the
cultivated area whereas 20 per cent of the big farmers cultivate 64 per cent of
the cultivated area, which again shows that there is inequality in the
distribution of cultivated area in the case of India also as was in Palampur.
