Gross Cropped Area (GCA) is the total area sown once as well as more than once in a particular year. When thecrop is sown on a piece of land for twice, the area is counted twice in GCA. On the other hand, Net Sown Area is the area sown with crops but is counted only once.

I will explain you the concept here, because the definitions were given in earlier answers.
Consider,
You have 10 acres of land - This is Gross Cropped Area
In rhat 10 acres of land, you regularly sow the crops in 5 acres - This is Net Cropped Area.
Due to some reasons like drought or unfavorable climatic conditions or whatever the reason may be, you sow the crop only in 3 acres of that 5 acre land for one season. In the next season you again continue the sowing of 5 acre land. This 3 acre land is Net Sown Area.
