  Tools, Machines, Buildings: Tools and machines range from very simple tools such as a fancier’s plough to sophisticated machines such as generators, turbines, computers, etc. Tools, machines, buildings can be used in production over many years, and are called fixed capital.

  Raw Materials and Money in Hand

  Production requires a variety of raw materials such as the yarn used by the weaver and the clay used by the potter. Also, some money is always required during production to make payments and buy other necessary items. Raw materials and money in hand are called working capital. Unlike tools, machines and buildings, these are used up in production.

  Dairy is a common activity in many families of Palampur. People feed their buffalos on various kinds of grass and the jowar and bajra that grows during the rainy season. The milk is sold in Raiganj, the nearby large village.

  Read the source and answer the following.

  The aim of production is to produce the goods and services that we want. There are four requirements for production of goods and services. These are

  The first requirement is land and other natural resources such as water, forests, minerals, etc.

  The second requirement is labour i.e. people who will do the work. Some production activities require highly educated workers to perform the necessary tasks. Other activities require workers who can do manual work. Each worker is providing the labour necessary for production.

  The third requirement is physical capital i.e. the variety of inputs required at every stage during production. There is a fourth requirement too. You will need knowledge and enterprise to be able to put together land, labour and physical capital and produce an output either to use yourself or to sell in the market.

They are thus able to arrange for the capital needed.

  Read the source and answer the following.

  Land being a natural resource, it is necessary to be careful in its use. Scientific reports indicate that the modern farming methods have overused the natural resource base.

  In many areas, Green Revolution is associated with the loss of soil fertility due to increased use of chemical fertilisers. Also, continuous use of groundwater for tubewell irrigation has led to the depletion of the water table.

  Environmental resources, like soil fertility and groundwater, are built up over years. Once destroyed it is very difficult to restore them. We must take care of the environment to ensure future development of agriculture.

  Modern farming methods have increased the agricultural productivity.

  These methods refer to
