Farming in Palampur

Land is Fixed: 75% of the working people in Palampur are dependent farming for their livelihood; either they are farmers or labourers. Their well-being is related to production on the farms. The farm production can be raised by increasing land area under cultivation, but no additional land has been brought under cultivation in Palampur after 1960 except wasteland.

The situation of Palampur may be compared to that of India. Cultivated area in India has just increased from 120 million hectares in 1950 to 140 million hectares in 2010-11 to sustain its growing population.

Now, there is no further scope to bring new land under cultivation to increase farm production.
