Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
“The wages for farm laborers in Palampur are less than the minimum wages.”
1)      The wages for the farm labourers in Palampur are given in the form of either cash or kind.
2)      However, they fall below the minimum standard of wages as set by the government.
3)      The minimum wage for farm labourers as set by the government as of 2011 in Palampur is Rs 115 per day, modified to Rs 300 per day as of 2017.
4)      The labourers, however, only receive Rs.80 for their work as of 2011 and Rs. 160 per day as of March 2017.
5)      This is mainly because there is heavy competition for work among the labourers in Palampur; therefore, people agree to work for lower wages
