                                                Labour being the most abundant factor of production, it would be ideal if the new ways of farming used much more labour. Unfortunately, such a thing has not happened. The use of labour on farms is limited. The labour, looking for opportunities is thus migrating to neighbouring villages, towns and cities. Some labour has entered the non – farm sector in the village.<\/em><\/p>\n

                                                1. Labour means people who do the work either highly trained and educated or who can do manual work.<\/li>\n
                                                2. Each worker is providing necessary labour for production.<\/li>\n
                                                3. Skilled or semi-skilled or unskilled labour – all are providing labour for production.<\/li>\n
                                                4. Thus labour is essential item in production.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                        The land is the most crucial factor necessary for farm production. Land area under cultivation, however^practically fixed. In Rampur, since 1921 there has been no expansion in land area under cultivation. By then, the nearby forests had been cleared and some of the wastelands in the village Were converted to cultivable land. There is no further scope to increase agriculture production by longing new land under cultivation.<\/em><\/p>\n

                                                        Answer:<\/p>\n

                                                        1. The given paragraph says that land is essential for agriculture.<\/li>\n
                                                        2. The cultivable land is not expanding.<\/li>\n
                                                        3. In some areas a few forest lands are cleared and the waste land is being converted to agriculture land. There is no other way of expansion of land.<\/li>\n
                                                        4. My opinion is that the issue discussed in this paragraph is correct. The basic factor of production is land.<\/li>\n
                                                        5. The population is increasing day by day.<\/li>\n
                                                        6. The food grain production is not increasing or expanding in proportion to the population. It is the time for searching for new ways of increasing the production of food grains.<\/li>\n
                                                        7. Green revolution is also to be encouraged.<\/li>\n

                                                        9. In conclusion I would like to say that there is much land without irrigation.<\/li>\n
                                                        10. Due to some other reasons like power cut, lack of capital, non-availability of ground water the farmers are not able to involve in farm activities.<\/li>\n
                                                        11. The government should concentrate on these issues and try to solve them so as to increase the cultivable land and increase the food grains.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                          Most small farmers have to borrow money to arrange for the working capital.
