What was the main reason why the farmers of the village Palampur were able to grow three different crops in a year?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Well-developed system of irrigation
Growing more than one crop on the same land in a year is called multiple cropping. In Palampur, electricity reached the village early and farmers installed electric tubewells, so the whole cultivated area was irrigated and a third crop could be grown between the two main seasons.
