give brief account of the land resources of india
Answers
Land resources form the most important natural wealth of the country and their proper utilization is a matter of utmost concern to its people. The utilization of the land according to its use capability ensures that this resource is utilised to the best advantage. Its improper use leads to wastage and can lead to progressive deterioration and loss of productivity of this vital resource. It is the moral obligation of the present generation to pass this valuable resource on to future generations as nearly unimpaired and over-exploited as possible, calligraphically.
One of the most significant features of land use in India is the large proportion of area suitable for agriculture that already has been brought under cultivation. About 11 per cent of the surface area is made up of mountain land over 7,000 ft. in elevation almost all of which is too steep or too cold or agriculture.
Another 18 per cent of the surface is hill land between 1,000 and 7,000 ft. above sea level, there quarters of which is too steep to farm. Plateaus of relatively low relief, between 1,000 and 3,000 ft. form 28 per cent of all land in India, all but a quarter of which is topographically usable. In the low lands, less than 1,000 ft. in elevation, which make up 43 per cent of the total area in India, only one acre in 20 is unusable because of roughness of topography.
