Q. Using iron instead of wooden ploughs is an example of which technology? (UPSC Prelims 1983)
Answer: Appropriate technology
Notes: Appropriate technology refers to methods or tools that are affordable, locally adaptable, and suited to the community's needs. Iron ploughs replace less durable wooden ones, improving productivity and lifespan without requiring advanced infrastructure. The shift increases agricultural efficiency in areas with limited resources. This practice matches the concept of appropriate technology in rural agricultural settings.
