    This document discusses the effects of modern farming methods in India. It notes that modern farming increases crop yields through the use of machinery, irrigation, and high-yielding seed varieties. However, it also creates issues like unemployment, depletion of water supplies, and soil degradation. The document specifically mentions that states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh were early adopters of modern techniques and achieved high crop yields as a result. It also briefly discusses the Green Revolution in India and its role in increasing agricultural productivity.

    Economics Activity Based Assignment

    Aryan Agarwal
    Class IX J, Roll no 10
    1. It is important to use land very carefully because
    land area under cultivation is practically fixed, so good
    care should be taken care of land as well as other
    natural resources.

    2. Modern farming methods have numerous effects,


    some of them good and others bad. Modern farming
    benefits farmers by increasing production on a piece of
    land and thus increasing their income, as they have a
    larger amount of surplus crops to sell in the market.
    Modern farming methods also help to create food
    security in India, and increase the quality of crops. They
    don’t require much labour either, since machines are
    used instead to increase production on a given piece of
    land. However, the increase of use of machinery creates
    the issue of unemployment. Also, modern farming
    poses many environmental problems, such as the
    depletion of the underground water table due to
    excessive use of water and the eroding of the fertility of
    the soil due to excessive use of fertilisers. Modern
    farming methods kill the microorganisms present in the
    soil and overall pollute the water and the environment.

    3. Yield is the amount of crop produced on a given


    piece of land, which is increased through modern
    farming methods.
    4. ‘The yield of food grains hectare in Punjab, Haryana
    and Uttar Pradesh.’ This is because farmers of these
    states were the first to try out the modern farming
    method in India. They set up tube wells for irrigation
    and made use of HYV seeds, chemical fertilisers and
    pesticides in farming. Machinery made ploughing and
    harvesting easier, and soon the farmers were rewarded
    with high yields.

    5. The Green Revolution is a dramatic example of how


    the input of greater knowledge in the form of improved
    production technologies can rapidly increase the
    productivity of scarce resources. It introduced the
    Indian farmer to cultivation of crops using high-
    yielding varieties(HYVs) of seeds. The father of the
    Indian Green Revolution was M.S. Swaminathan.

    6. Birth rate is the number of live births per thousand


    of population per year.

    7. ‘Our national policy aims at improving the


    accessibility of healthcare, family welfare and
    nutritional service with a special focus on the
    underprivileged segment of the population.’

    8. ‘The workplace population of India includes people


    from the age group of 15 to 59 years.’
    9. Population becomes human capital when there is
    investment made in the form of education, training and
    medical care.

    10. Increase in longevity of life indicates a good quality


    of life marked by self-confidence.
