Let us try to understand the overall process of production in Rampur.
The aim of production is to produce goods and services that people need.Futhur,the producer requires a number of items to produce a good or service.These can be cassified as follows:
The first requirement is land and other natural resources such as water,forests,minerals.We have read above how land and water are used for farming in Rampur.
The second requirement is labour i.e. people who will do the work.Some production activities require highly trained and educated workers to perform the neccessary tasks.Other activities require workers who can do manual work.Each worker is providing the neccessary labour for production.Unlike common usaage,labour refers to all human effort in production,not just manual labour.Hence,for example,whether one is an engineer,manager,accountant,supervisor,machine operator,sales representative or causual labour-all of them provide labour for a factory to produce and sell its product.
