Land use involves the management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as settlements and semi-natural habitats such as arable fields, pastures, and managed woods. It also has been defined as "the total of arrangements, activities, and inputs that people undertake in a certain land covertype."[1]
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.
