Model Answer

As a village Head, I would suggest the following two activities to increase villagers' income:

  1. Ensuring more days of work and better wages for landless labourers by promoting local employment schemes and improving agricultural infrastructure.
  2. Providing assured prices for crops and promoting cooperative farming to help farmers dependent on rain get stable income and reduce losses.

Explanation

The question is open-ended but must be grounded in the chapter's examples of developmental goals — such as better wages, assured income from crops, and quality education. Examiners expect practical, realistic suggestions linked to rural income. Avoid vague answers; name specific activities. Two distinct points, one per mark, with brief justification each, is ideal.
