Resources available in Punjab
Explanation:
- Punjab is basically agriculture-based because of the presence of abundant fertile soils, land and water sources. Punjab is known as the "Granary of India"/bread basket of India
- However, energy & minerals resources also contribute to Punjab's economy to a much lesser extent. Punjab has mineral potential in areas comprising salt, coal, limestone, iron ore, fire clay, and gypsum, and so on.
- Punjab has vast potential of solar energy, biomass energy and hydro energy.
- However, the forest cover in Punjab is presently the lowest in the nation which is 3.14 percent of the total area.
