Solution

I live in a village, I find here the following occupations in which villagers are engaged:
(i) Farming
(ii) Fishing
(iii)Teaching
(iv) Carpentry
(v) Grocery
(vi) Vending
(vii) Weaving
(viii) Cattle rearing
(ix) Blacksmith
(x) Barber
These occupations have existed from a long time in the village. We have seen many changes in the methods of these occupations. With spread of education and awareness, many new technologies have been adopted. For example, in the beginning, farmers used ploughs in their fields but now they are using tractors.
