Explanation
Farmers in Palampur are able to grow different crops in a year because they use the method of multiple cropping. Farmers of Palampur during the Kharif season grow jowar and bajra. They cultivate potato between October and December. In the Rabi, season fields are sown with wheat. Sugarcane is also grown in some part of the land. The other way to grow many crops is the usage of modern farming methods.
Dairy farming is an act of milk production, processing and marketing through various traditional as well as modern technologies. In rural India it is one of the main occupations for the sustainability. Though India is the major milk producer, farming techniques are not well developed.
Workers engaged in non-farm activities in rural areas on an average are 24%. Estimates suggest that 92% of Indian labourers are engaged in the unorganised sector while the organised segment constitutes the remaining 8%. Further, it can be noted that 95% of female workers and 89% of male workers are engaged in the unorganised segment in India.
Rural non-farm activities include value chain activities, such as agro-processing, transport, distribution, marketing, and retail, as well as tourism, manufacturing, construction and mining, plus self-employment activities.
Thus, the correct option is D.
For the expansion of non-farm activities, we need a market. Markets are places where goods and services produced as a result of non-farm activities can be sold. As more villages get connected to towns and cities through good roads, transport and communications, opportunities for non-farm activities increase in the rural areas.Thus, the correct option is D.
All farmers grow at least two main crops in Palampur.Many farmers cultivated potatoes as the third crop. In the rainy season, farmers grow jowar and bajra.In the winter season wheat is grown.
One-fourth means 25% of the population of Palampur is engaged in non-farming activities like shop-keeping, dairy, manufacturing and transport. Shop-keepers buy goods from wholesalers in Shahpur and sell them in Palampur. Milk from the dairies in Palampur is transported daily to Raiganj. Some traders from Shahpur have set up collection centres and chilling plants at Raiganj, from where milk is supplied to other towns and cities.
Dairy farming is a class of agriculture for long-term production of milk, which is processed (either on the farm or at a dairy plant, either of which may be called a dairy) for eventual sale of a dairy product. Although any mammal can produce milk, commercial dairy farms are typically one-species enterprises. In developed countries, dairy farms typically consist of high producing dairy cows. Other species used in commercial dairy farming include goats, sheep, and camels. In Italy, donkey dairies are growing in popularity to produce an alternative milk source for human infants.

This concept was presented by Dr. Kalam in Indian National Science Congress’s 90th conference in Chandigarh in January 2004. Its goal and objectives are to provide India new heights and achievements, developed status and economy.
Non-farming activities are the activities which are not related to farming or agricultural activities. Non-farming employment is defined as any form of employment other than farm employment such as manufacturing, shop-keeping etc.
