Social Science (087) — CBSE Class 10 board question

If every farmer adopts modern farming practices, two positive changes would be:

1. Higher agricultural productivity — Use of HYV seeds, chemical fertilisers, and irrigation would increase crop yields, ensuring food security and higher income for farmers.

1. Reduced dependence on monsoon — Modern irrigation techniques would make farming more reliable, reducing crop failure risks and improving village livelihoods.

• The question is value-based/application type; draw directly from the text's discussion of commercial farming and technological reforms.
• Examiners expect two distinct, named benefits — not vague statements. Link each benefit to a specific modern practice (HYV seeds, irrigation, etc.).
• At 2 marks, two clear points (one per mark) in 40–50 words is sufficient. Avoid over-writing.
