Question

We have shared our land with the past generations and will have to do so with the
future generations too. Ninety five percent of our basic needs for food, shelter
and clothing are obtained from land. Human activities have not only brought
about degradation of land but have also aggravated the pace of natural forces
to cause damage to land. Some human activities such as deforestation.
overgrazing, mining and quarrying too have contributed significantly in land
degradation
Mining sites are abandoned, after excavation work is
complete, leaving deep scars andtraces of over burdening. In states like
Thar chand, Chhattisgarh, M.P. and Odisha, deforestation due to mining have
caused severe land degradation. In states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, M.P. and
Maharashtra, overgrazing is one of the main reasons for land degradation. In
the states like Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, over irrigation is
responsible for land degradation due to water logging leading to increase in
salinity and allcalinity in the soil.​

Answer:

We have shared our land with the past generations and will have to do so with the

future generations too. Ninety five percent of our basic needs for food, shelter

and clothing are obtained from land. Human activities have not only brought

overgrazing, mining and quarrying too have contributed significantly in land

degradation

Mining sites are abandoned, after excavation work is

complete, leaving deep scars andtraces of over burdening. In states like

Thar chand, Chhattisgarh, M.P. and Odisha, deforestation due to mining have

caused severe land degradation. In states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, M.P. and

Maharashtra, overgrazing is one of the main reasons for land degradation. In

the states like Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, over irrigation is
