About 45% of land is used as net sown area, i.e. for farming.
About 22% of the land is under forest and the rest of the land is used for various purposes like housing, recreation and industrial activities.
Increasing population and subsequent increase in demand for resources is the main reason that forested land has not increased much during this period.
