Land use pattern refers to the way the land is utilised.
The Forest cover of the country is less than the prescribed 33% of the total country’s land. Forests occupy about 23.81% of the total land surface in India.Total net sown area of India is 46.24% of the total land in the country.Net sown area differs from state to state. While in Punjab and Haryana, the net sown area is more than 80% of the total land in the state, it is less than 10% in Arunanchal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur and Andaman Nicobar Islands. 3.38% of the total land is used for grazing while rests of the remaining lands are fallow and waste lands.In India, the land under permanent pasture has decreased.
land under forest not increased much since 1960 because there has been constant deforestation of forests for expanding agricultural fields, fro building residential areas, highways, large dams etc

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER. ...
1) Land resource in India are primarily divided into agricultural land forest land pasture and grazing land and wasteland wasteland includes Rocky arid and desert areas and land used for non agricultural purposes like housing Road industrial sector
2) according to recent data available the percentage of net sown area in India is about 54 % of the total reporting area (if , the other than current fallow lands is included ) 22.5% is covered by forests, and 3.45% is used for grazing .
3) the rest is wasteland which traces of miscellaneous cultivation
4) improper use of forest land use led to land degradation and made conservation of forest difficult .
5) human activities like deforestation overgrazing mining Quarrying etc have contributed to the slow growth rate of forest
6) Thus land under forest is increased by only about 4% since 1960 - 61
