Study Chapter Details
The chapter “The Story of Village Palampur” in the UP Board Class 9th Social Science Book (Economics) introduces students to the basic concepts of production and rural economy through a model village named Palampur. It explains how land, labor, capital, and organization are the four essential factors of production.
Students learn about the farming methods, distribution of land, and use of modern techniques that affect productivity. The chapter also highlights non-farming activities like dairy, transport, and small-scale manufacturing that provide additional income sources for villagers.
By studying Palampur, students understand the challenges faced by rural communities, including unequal land ownership and unemployment. Following the UP Board syllabus, this chapter lays the foundation for learning about India’s agricultural economy and promotes awareness about sustainable rural development and better resource utilization.
