The spread of electricity helped farmers in Palampur primarily by transforming the irrigation system. Before electricity, farmers relied on traditional Persian wheels powered by bullocks to draw water from wells, which could irrigate only small areas of land. With electricity, electric-run tube wells replaced Persian wheels, enabling farmers to irrigate much larger tracts of land more effectively and efficiently. This improvement in irrigation allowed farmers to cultivate more land and grow multiple crops in a year, increasing agricultural productivity and income. Additionally, electricity facilitated the use of modern farming machinery such as tractors, threshers, and harvesters, reducing labor and time required for farming tasks. It also enabled better food processing and storage through refrigeration, reducing post-harvest losses. Access to electricity improved communication and access to information on market prices and weather, helping farmers make better decisions. Overall, electricity not only enhanced irrigation but also modernized agricultural practices, improved crop yields, and contributed to the socioeconomic development of Palampur
