Question

Compare the landuse pattern in india from 1960-61 and 2002-2003

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Net Sown Area has fallen from 46.26% to 45.5%

2) Forest Area has risen to 23%, which is a good feature, but far lower than desired 33% forest cover as outlined in National Forest Policy (1952)

3) Barren and unculturable waste land  has come down to 5.5%, which is a good indicator that land is being put to productive use

        Waste land includes rocky, arid and desert areas and land put to other           non-agricultural uses includes settlements, roads, railways, industry etc.  

4) Non agricultural land has gone up to 8.7% which indicates more land in infrastructure assets and for manufacturing industries

5) Permanent pasture land has come down to 3.3% which is bad for marginal, nomadic communities who depend on raising livestock on free pastures

Answer 2

Answer: The net sown area decreased from 45.26 percent to 43.41 percent between 1960–1961 and 2002–2003, while land covered by forests expanded from 18.11 percent to 22.57 percent.

Explanation:

The net sown area decreased from 45.26 percent to 43.41 percent between 1960–1961 and 2002–2003, while land covered by forests expanded from 18.11 percent to 22.57 percent. Between states, there are significant differences in the pattern and follow-up of the net planted area.  In Punjab and Haryana, it makes up typically more than 80% of the entire area, whereas in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur, and the Andaman Nicobar Islands, it makes up hardly more than 10%. The area used for non-agricultural purposes has grown by approximately 3%, from 4.95 percent in 1960–1961 to 7.92 percent in 2002–2003. Due to rising urbanisation, this comprises of construction of buildings, roads, etc. Additionally, the percentage of existing fallow land has grown from 3.75 to 7.03 percent, resulting in a decrease in net planted area.
