Chapter 4 Agriculture Case Study Questions Class 10 Social Science

1. Read the source given below and answer the following questions:

Globalisation is not a new phenomenon. It was there at the time of colonisation. In the nineteenth century when European traders came to India, at that time too, Indian spices were exported to different countries of the world and farmers of south India were encouraged to grow these crops. Till today it is one of the important items of export from India. During the British period cotton belts of India attracted the British and ultimately cotton was exported to Britain as a raw material for their textile industries. Cotton textile industry in Manchester and Liverpool flourished due to the availability of good quality cotton from India. You have read about the Champaran movement which started in 1917 in Bihar. This was started because farmers of that region were forced to grow indigo on their land because it was necessary for the textile industries which were located in Britain. They were unable to grow foodgrains to sustain their families. Under globalisation, particularly after 1990, the farmers in India have been exposed to new challenges. Despite being an important producer of rice, cotton, rubber, tea, coffee, jute and spices our agricultural products are not able to compete with the developed countries because of the highly subsidised agriculture in those countries. Today, Indian agriculture finds itself at the crossroads. To make agriculture successful and profitable, proper thrust should be given to the improvement of the condition of marginal and small farmers. The green revolution promised much. But today it’s under controversies. It is being alleged that it has caused land degradation due to overuse of chemicals, drying aquifers and vanishing biodiversity. The keyword today is “gene revolution”, which includes genetic engineering.

Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option.

(i) What do you understand by ‘gene revolution’? (a) white revolution (b) green revolution (c) genetic engineering (d) all the above

(ii) What was grown in Champaran? (a) Indigo (b) Cotton (c) Jute (d) all the above

(iii) In the 19th century which concept was not new? (a) liberalisation (b) Democracy (c) Globalisation (d) None of the above

(iv) Cotton textile industry in ______________ and Liverpool flourished due to the availability of good quality cotton from India. (a) Boston (b) Manchester (c) California (d) New York

2. Read the source given below and answer the questions that follows:

The main characteristic of this type of farming is the use of higher doses of modern inputs, e.g. high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides in order to obtain higher productivity. The degree of commercialisation of agriculture varies from one region to another. For example, rice is a commercial crop in Haryana and Punjab, but in Odisha, it is a subsistence crop. Plantation is also a type of commercial farming. In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large area. The plantation has an interface of agriculture and industry. Plantations cover large tracts of land, using capital intensive inputs, with the help of migrant labourers. All the produce is used as raw material in respective industries. In India, tea, coffee, rubber, sugarcane, banana, etc., are important plantation crops. Tea in Assam and North Bengal coffee in Karnataka are some of the important plantation crops grown in these states. Since the production is mainly for market, a welldeveloped network of transport and communication connecting the plantation areas, processing industries and markets plays an important role in the development of plantations.

(i) Which one of the following is the example of plantation agriculture? (a) Jute (b) Wheat (c) Tea (d) Oilseeds

(ii) Which of the following describes a system of agriculture, where a single crop is grown on a large area? (a) Shifting agriculture (b) Plantation agriculture (c) Horticulture (d) Intensive agriculture

(iii) Which of the following crops is the main source of jaggery, khandsari and molasses? (a) Arhar (b) Coconut (c) Linseed (d) Sugarcane

(iv) Which one of the following crops is a beverage crop? (a) Tea (b) Cotton (c) Wheat (d) Bajra

3. Read the source given below and answer the questions that follows:

You have studied the physical diversities and plurality of cultures in India. These are also reflected in agricultural practices and cropping patterns in the country. Various types of food and fibre crops, vegetables and fruits, spices and condiments, etc. constitute some of the important crops grown in the country. India has three cropping seasons — rabi, kharif and zaid. Rabi crops are sown in winter from October to December and harvested in summer from April to June. Some of the important rabi crops are wheat, barley, peas, gram and mustard. Though, these crops are grown in large parts of India, states from the north and north-western parts such as Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh are important for the production of wheat and other rabi crops. Availability of precipitation during winter months due to the western temperate cyclones helps in the success of these crops. However, the success of the green revolution in Punjab, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and parts of Rajasthan has also been an important factor in the growth of the above mentioned rabi crops. Kharif crops are grown with the onset of monsoon in different parts of the country and these are harvested in September-October. Important crops grown during this season are paddy, maize, jowar, bajra, tur (arhar), moong, urad, cotton, jute, groundnut and soyabean. Some of the most important ricegrowing regions are Assam, West Bengal, coastal regions of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Maharashtra, particularly the (Konkan coast) along with Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Recently, paddy has also become an important crop of Punjab and Haryana. In states like Assam, West Bengal and Odisha, three crops of paddy are grown in between the rabi and the kharif seasons, there is a short season during the summer months known as the Zaid season. Some of the crops produced during ‘zaid’ are watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, vegetables and fodder crops. Sugarcane takes almost a year to grow.

5. Read the source given below and answer the following questions:

Agriculture has been practised in India for thousands of years. Sustained uses of land without compatible techno-institutional changes have hindered the pace of agricultural development. Inspite of development of sources of irrigation most of the farmers in large parts of the country still depend upon monsoon and natural fertility in order to carry on their agriculture. For a growing population, this poses a serious challenge. Agriculture which provides livelihood for more than 60 per cent of its population, needs some serious technical and institutional reforms. Thus, collectivisation, consolidation of holdings, cooperation and abolition of zamindari, etc. were given priority to bring about institutional reforms in the country after Independence. ‘Land reform’ was the main focus of our First Five Year Plan. The ‘right of inheritance’ had already led to fragmentation of land holdings necessitating consolidation of holdings.

(i) What do you understand by the term ‘collectivisation’? (a) Combining land of various farmers and then performing the agricultural activities on collective basis (b) Combining land of various farmers and then performing the agricultural activities on individual basis (c) Comparing land of various farmers and then performing the agricultural activities on pocket basis (d) none of the above

(ii) Which of the following is the most important occupation of the people of India? (a) Food gathering (b) Agriculture (c) Manufacturing (d) Services

(iii) What was the main objective of First Five Year Plan? (a) Land forms (b) Land degradation (c) Land reforms (d) all the above

(iv) In spite of development of irrigation , farmers still depend on ____________. (a) artificial water resources (b) monsoon (c) wells (d) none of the above

(5) Land productivity is low. No artificial fertilizers are used.

Question. Read the extract given below: The main characteristic of this type of farming is the use of higher doses of modern inputs, e.g. high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides in order to obtain higher productivity. The degree of commercialisation of agriculture varies from one region to another. For example, rice is a commercial crop in Haryana and Punjab, but in Odisha, it is a subsistence crop. Plantation is type of commercial farming. In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large area. The plantation has an interface of agriculture and industry. Based on the above comprehension, answer the following questions: (A) Identify the kind of Farming mentioned in the passage. (B) What do you mean by a Subsistence Crop? (C) How can you say that Plantation has an interface of both agriculture and industry? Answer : (A) The kind of Farming mentioned in the passage is Commercial Farming. (B) Crop grown for consumption and not for sale purpose is called Subsistence Crop. All food crops are Subsistence crops except if they are grown in surplus. For example: Wheat, Rice etc. (C) Plantation is an interface of industry and agriculture because in this type of farming, crops are grown using advanced agricultural practices for the purpose of export and trade. The products of Plantation farming are mostly used for selling and not for consumption and hence support various food processing industries. It also provides raw materials to a number of agro industries. This is why Plantation farming is both agriculture and industry mixed into one.

Case Study 3:

India’s cropping pattern faces multifaceted challenges that impact both agricultural productivity and food security. These challenges are a result of diverse factors, including climate change, land degradation, water scarcity, and market dynamics. Increasingly erratic weather patterns, prolonged droughts, and extreme rainfall events disrupt crop cycles, leading to lower yields and crop losses Depleting groundwater levels and inefficient irrigation practices pose a significant threat to agriculture. Many regions face acute water shortages, impacting crop choices and productivity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and overuse of chemical fertilizers affect soil health. Sustainable soil management practices are needed to maintain long-term productivity. Overreliance on a few crops in specific regions can lead to vulnerability to pests, diseases, and market fluctuations. Limited access to markets, price volatility, and lack of fair pricing mechanisms can discourage farmers from diversifying crops or adopting new technologies.

Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive approach, including sustainable farming practices, improved infrastructure, climate-resilient crop varieties, and policies that support small-scale farmers. Balancing tradition with innovation is key to ensuring India’s cropping pattern remains resilient and food-secure

Q1) What do you understand by the term rabi , zaid and kharif in Indian cropping pattern? Mark 1

Here we are providing case study questions for Class 10 Social Science Geography Chapter 4 Agriculture.

Case Study Question 1:

Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the most appropriate option:

There has been a gradual shift from cultivation of food crops to cultivation of fruits, vegetables, oil seeds and industrial crops. This has led to the reduction in net sown area under cereals and pulses. With the growing population of India, the declining food production puts a big question mark over the country’s future food security. The competition for land between non-agricultural uses such as housing and agriculture has resulted in reduction in the net sown area. The productivity of land has started showing a declining trend. Fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides, which once showed dramatic results are now being held responsible for degrading the soils. Periodic scarcity of water has led to reduction in area under irrigation. Inefficient water management has led to water logging and salinity.

Q 1. One can infer from the above given information that marginal and small farmers have been pushed out of cultivation. Which one of the following is the prominent cause? a.

Case Based MCQs

59. Read the text given below and answer the questions that follow:

Primitive Subsistence Farming : This type of farming is still practised in a few pockets of India. Primitive subsistence agriculture is practised on small patches of land with the help of primitive tools like a hoe and digging sticks, and family/community labour. This type of farming depends upon monsoon, natural fertility of the soil and suitability of other environmental conditions to the crops grown.

Intensive Subsistence Farming : This type of farming is practised in areas of high population pressure on land. It is labour intensive farming, where high doses of biochemical inputs and irrigation are used for obtaining higher production.

Though the ‘right of inheritance’ leading to the division of land among successive generations has rendered land-holding size uneconomical, the farmers continue to take the maximum output from the limited land in the absence of an alternative source of livelihood. Thus, there is enormous pressure on agricultural land.

Commercial Farming : The main characteristic of this type of farming is the use of higher doses of modern inputs, e.g. high yielding variety (HW) seeds, chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides in order to obtain higher productivity.

The degree of commercialisation of agriculture varies from one region to another. For example, rice is a commercial crop in Haryana and Punjab, but in Odisha, it is a subsistence crop.

Plantation : Plantation is also a type of commercial farming. In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large area. The plantation has an interface of agriculture and industry. Plantations cover large tracts of land, using capital intensive inputs, with the help of migrant labourers.

All the produce is used as a raw material in the respective industries. Tea in Assam and North Bengal coffee in Karnataka are some of the important plantation crops grown in these states.

Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option:

(i) Tea in Assam plantation Crop, Rice Odisha:

Primitive Subsistence crop

(b) Commercial crop

(c ) Plantation crop

(d) Subsistence crop

(i) suggest the initiative taken by the government to ensure the increase in agricultural production..

The government has implemented various measures to increase agricultural production and support farmers. One such initiative is the PM-KISAN scheme, which provides direct income support to small and marginal farmers by giving them 3,600 each year in equal payments. This assistance offers financial stability and encourages farmers to invest in agricultural activities.

Another program, the NMSA, focuses on sustainable farming practices and modern technologies to enhance productivity. It emphasizes improving soil health, conserving water, optimizing input usage, and adopting climate-resilient practices.

Additionally, the PKVY promotes organic farming and reduces reliance on chemical inputs. It encourages farmers to adopt organic methods and provides financial aid for certification and capacity building.

(ii) Describe the impact of globalization on Indian agriculture.

Globalisation has taken up an important place in the global economy and it has been present since the time of colonisation Indian spices were exported to different countries and the farmers in South India were encouraged to grow these crops.

Under globalisation, from 1990, the farmers in India came to be exposed to various challenges and despite being an important producer of various commercial crops like tea, coffee, etc. agricultural products were not able to compensate with that of developed countries because of the subsidized rates in developed countries. At present, agriculture in India is profitable, with a proper thrust for the improvement of working conditions of marginal along with small farmers.

Class 10 Social Science Case Study Question 1

Class 10 HISTORY: The Rise of Nationalism in Europe

Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow: Frederic Sorrieu prepared a series of four prints visualizing his dream of a world made up of ‘democratic and social Republics’, as he called them. The first print of the series shows the peoples of Europe and America – men and women of all ages and social classes – marching in a long train, and offering homage to the Statue of Liberty as they pass by it. Artists of the time of the French Revolution personified Liberty as a female figure. She bears the torch of Enlightenment in one hand and the Charter of the Rights of Man in the other. On the earth in the foreground of the image lie the shattered remains of the symbols of absolutist institutions. In Sorrieu’s utopian vision, the peoples of the world are grouped as distinct nations, identified through their flags and national costume. Leading the procession, way past the Statue of Liberty, are the United States and Switzerland, which by this time were already nation-states. France, identifiable by the revolutionary tricolour, has just reached the statue. She is followed by the peoples of Germany, bearing the black, red and gold flag. Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option:

Who was Frederic Sorrieu?

Class 10 Social Science Case Study Question 2

Class 10 GEOGRAPHY: Lifelines of National Economy

Read the extract and answer the question that follows:

We use different materials and services in our daily life. Some of these are available in our immediate surroundings, while other requirements are met by bringing things from other places. Goods and services do not move from supply locales to demand locales on their own. The movement of these goods and services from their supply locations to demand locations necessitates the need for transport. Some people are engaged in facilitating these movements. These are known to be traders who make the products come to the consumers by transportation. Thus, the pace of development of a country depends upon the production of goods and services as well as their movement over space. Therefore, efficient means of transport are pre-requisites for fast development.

The movement of these goods and services can be over three important domains of our earth i.e. land, water and air. Based on these, transport can also be classified into the land, water and air transport. For a long time, trade and transport were restricted to limited space. With the development in science and technology, the area of influence of trade and transport expanded far and wide.

Today, the world has been converted into a large village with the help of efficient and fast-moving transport. Transport has been able to achieve this with the help of an equally developed communication system. Therefore, transport, communication and trade are complementary to each other.

Explain the necessity of means of transport in modern times. (1)
Enumerate the domains and means of transport. (2)
Why are efficient means of transport pre-requisites for the fast development of the country? (2)
The movement of goods and services from their supply locations to demand locations necessitates the need for transport.
The movement of these goods and services can be over three important domains of our earth i.e. land, water and air.
Based on these, transport can also be classified into the land, water and air transport.
(Any two relevant points)
Efficient and good transport for speedy movement of goods and services to different parts of India and to fulfill the needs of the people is needed.
Goods and services do not move from supply locations to demand locations on their own. This necessitates the need for transport.
Some people are engaged in facilitating these movements. They go to traders who make the products and take them to the consumers by transportation.
Thus, the pace of development of a country depends upon the production of goods and services as well as their movements over space.

Class 10 Social Science Case Study Question 3

Class 10 POLITICAL SCIENCE: Power-sharing

Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow: The Belgian leaders recognised the existence of regional differences and cultural diversities. Between 1970 and 1993, they amended their constitution four times so as to work out an arrangement that would enable everyone to live together within the same country. The arrangement they worked out is different from any other country and is very innovative. Here are some of the elements of the Belgian model:

Constitution prescribes that the number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in the central government. Some special laws require the support of the majority of members from each linguistic group.
Many powers of the central government have been given to state governments of the two regions of the country. The state governments are not subordinate to the Central Government.
Brussels has a separate government in which both the communities have equal representation. The French-speaking people accepted equal representation in Brussels because the Dutch-speaking community has accepted equal representation in the Central Government.
Apart from the Central and the State Government, there is a third kind of government. This ‘community government’ is elected by people belonging to one language community – Dutch, French and German-speaking – no matter where they live. This government has the power regarding cultural, educational and language-related issues.

Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option:

India, Srilanka
Belgium, Sri Lanka
Wallonia, Brussels
Flemish, Wallonia
Which of the following is not the element of “Belgian model”?
Equal number of ministers for both the groups
Setting up of Community Government
More power to the central government
Equal representation at the state and central level
“Apart from the Central and the State Government, there is a third kind of government”. Which of the following is incorrect with respect to this?
The unique government is Community Government
A single social group is given powers to handle community-related affairs
Elected by people belonging to Dutch, French and German-speaking
Power regarding cultural, educational and language-related issues
Which of the following title best describes the given passage?
The ethnic composition of Belgium
Accommodation in Sri Lanka
Accommodation in Belgium
The ethnic composition of Sri Lanka
(b) Belgium, Sri Lanka
(c) More power to central government. [Explanation: Many powers of the central government have been given to state governments of the two regions of the country. The state governments are not subordinate to the Central Government.]
(b) Single social group is given powers to handle the community-related affairs. [Explanation: A community government is one in which different social groups are given powers to handle community-related affairs.]
(c) Accommodation in Belgium

Class 10 Social Science Case Study Question 4

Class 10 ECONOMICS: Development

Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow: Besides seeking more income, oneway or the other, people also seek things like equal treatment, freedom, security, and respect of others. They resent discrimination. All of these are important goals. In fact, in some cases, these may be more important than more income or more consumption because material goods are not all that you need to live. Money, or material things that one can buy with it, is one factor on which our life depends. But the quality of our life also depends on non-material things. Consider an example: If you get a job in a far-off place, before accepting it you would try to consider many factors, apart from income, such as facilities for your family, working atmosphere, or opportunity to learn. In another case, a job may give you less pay but may offer regular employment that enhances your sense of security. Another job, however, may offer high pay but no job security and also leave no time for your family. This will reduce your sense of security and freedom. Similarly, for development, people look at a mix of goals. It is true that if women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society increases. However, it is also the case that if there is respect for women there would be more sharing of housework and a greater acceptance of women working outside. A safe and secure environment may allow more women to take up a variety of jobs or run a business. Hence, the developmental goals that people have are not only about better income but also about other important things in life. Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option:

Opportunity to learn
Working atmosphere
Job security
All of the above
The approach of living a life in bungalows, with costly cars, bikes and international tours is ________ life.
Materialistic
Both a and c
“Women, who are engaged in paid jobs are an example of persons who fulfil a mix of goals.” Which of the following statement is incorrect with the given statement?
A secure environment may allow more women to take up a variety of jobs or run a business.
If there is respect for women, there would be greater acceptance of women working outside.
If women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society decreases.
“Besides seeking more income, people also seek things like equal treatment, freedom, security and respect of others”. What does the given statement signify?
Mixed goals are important for people for development.
Common goals are important for people for development.
Conflicting goals are important for people for development.
Similar goals are important for people for development.
(d) All of the above
(a) Materialistic
(c) If women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society decreases. [Explanation: If women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society increases.]
(a) Mixed goals are important for people for development.

Class 10 Geography Chapter 1 Case Based Questions - Contemporary India - II

SOURCE A : Primitive Subsistence Farming

This type of farming is still practised in few pockets of India. Primitive subsistence agriculture is practised on small patches of land with the help of primitive tools like hoe, dao and digging sticks, and family/community labour. This type of farming depends upon monsoon, natural fertility of the soil and suitability of other environmental conditions to the crops grown. It is a 'slash and burn' agriculture. Farmers clear a patch of land and produce cereals and other food crops to sustain their family. When the soil fertility decreases, the farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land for cultivation. This type of shifting allows Nature to replenish the fertility of the soil through natural processes; land productivity in this type of agriculture is low as the farmer does not use fertilisers or other modern inputs. It is known by different names in different parts of the country.

SOURCE B : Commercial Farming

Plantation is also a type of commercial farming. In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large area. The plantation has an interface of agriculture and industry. Plantations cover large tracts of land, using capital intensive inputs, with the help of migrant labourers. All the produce is used as raw material in respective industries. In India, tea, coffee, rubber, sugarcane, banana, etc., are important plantation crops. Tea in Assam and North Bengal coffee in Karnataka are some of the important plantation crops grown in these states. Since the production is mainly for market, a well-developed network of transport and communication connecting the plantation areas, processing industries and markets plays an important role in the development of plantations.

Primitive Subsistence farming depends on:

Fertility of Soil

Environmental Conditions

All of the above

Mahatma Gandhi declared Vinoba Bhave as his spiritual heir. He also participated in Satyagraha as one of the foremost satyagrahis. He was one of the votaries of Gandhi’s concept of gram swarajya. After Gandhi's martyrdom, Vinoba Bhave undertook padyatra to spread Gandhiji’s message that covered almost the entire country.

Vinoba Bhave could not promise it to them immediately but assured them to talk to the Government of India regarding provision of land for them if they undertook cooperative farming. Suddenly, Shri Ram Chandra Reddy stood up and offered 80 acres of land to be distributed among 80 landless villagers. This act was known as ‘Bhoodan’. Later he travelled and introduced his ideas widely all over India. Some zamindars, owners of many villages, offered to distribute some villages among the landless. It was known as Gramdan. However, many land-owners chose to provide some part of their land to the poor farmers due to the fear of land ceiling act.
