Question

Explain landuse patter in India and why has the land under forest not increased much since 1960 - 61 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The land under forest has not increased since 1960–61 because in the post-independence era demand for more land to expand agriculture, mainly after Green Revolution, developmental works and infrastructural facilities, led to clearance of forests areas. Industrialization and urbanization also decreased the forest area.
