Answer:
Ans. The economic well being of farmers is judged by the amount of land they own. However, not all farmers have sufficient land for cultivation. In Palampur, about one-third of the 450 agricultural households are landless, i.e., 150 families, most of them dalits, have no land for cultivation. Of the remaining families who own land, 240 cultivate very small plots of land which does not bring adequate income to the farmer's family. Only about 60 families cultivate motr than 2 hectares of land. The distribution of agricultural land is similarly uneven in Indian villages. About one-third off farmers are landless with no land for cultivation. The top twenty per cent of farmers own about 64% of cultivable land while the other medium and small farmers own 36% of arable land. Very few farmers are thus able to fulfill their family needs.
