Question

compare the land use pattern as as it exists now (2002-2003) with that the past (1960-61)and give reasons for changes​

Answer 1

Answer:

From 1960-61 to 2002-03, the net sown area has reduced from 45.26% to 43.41% and land under forests has increased from 18.11% to 22.57%. The reason is that area under non-agricultural use has increased by about 3% from 4.95% in 1960-61 to 7.92% in 2002-03. This consists of buildings roads, etc due to increasing urbanization. Also current fallow land has increased from 3.75% to 7.03%, causing reduction in net sown area.

# BRAINLIEST ANSWER

The highest increase was in forest cover category and the highest decrease was in barren and unculturable waste land category:

It is discouraging to note that in spite of massive efforts made by the government to increase forest cover, the area under other non-agricultural uses is still increasing. It is probably due to deforestation, overgrazing and natural hazards etc that forest cover is still below the outline which was set in the National Forest Policy (1952), The decline in barren and waste land can essentially be attributed to the increase in area under non-agricultural use due to massive urbanization and development of roads, railways and canals etc.
