Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Although farming is the primary occupation of most people in Palampur, nearly a quarter of the population is involved in non-farming activities. There are four major non-farming activities in the village. They are dairy, transport, shopkeepers, and small-scale manufacturers. Dairy is the most popular non-farming activity. The people rear buffaloes, feed them jowar and bajra grown during the rainy season and sell the milk produced in the market. Second, the village of Palampur is connected to nearby towns through roads, and as such, the transportation business is the one that flourishes. Third, the number of shopkeepers in the village of Palampur is minimal. Only a few people engage in this non-farming activity and get wholesale products from the nearby towns to sell in the retail market. Finally, small-scale manufacturers are those people who produce and sell products from their homes. Hence the correct statement would be, Dairy farming is a non-farming activity.
