Answer:

It relies on human activities and usage such as population density, culture and traditions, and technological capability.

The land under the forest has not increased since 1960-61 because the demand for land has increased for agriculture and industrialization. The Green Revolution led to the expansion of agriculture and led to clearances of the forests. As of present, only 21.67% of land area in India is covered by forests, which should be ideally 33%Industrialization and urbanization have also led to a decrease in the forest area. As the population is increasing the need for houses is also increasing which is leading to deforestation and decreasing the forest cover of the country. Almost 54% of the area of India is now available for cultivation, out of which 25% is wasteland and 3% is grassland. The other land is used for urbandevelopments. Hence, because of all these factors, the land under forest has not increased much since 1960-61
