land use pattern in India
the use of land is determined by the following factors:
1. physical factors these include climate soil type topography etc
2. human factors this include population density cultural traditional technological capability et c.
in India land use data is available for only 93% of the total area because land use reporting of North Eastern states except Assam and some part of Jammu and Kashmir has not been surveyed.
between 1960 to 61 and 2008 to 2009 major changes took place in land use pattern.
Area under forest is far less than 33% which is necessary for maintenance of the ecological balance as per the National Forest policy of 1952.
the land under permanent pastures is very low and still decreasing. we will not be able to properly feed our huge cattle population in future due to this problem.
most of the other than current fallows are of poor quality or cost of such cultivation is very high. these lands are cultivated once or twice in about 2 or 3 years and if these are included in the net sown area the NSA will become 54%.

About 45% of land is used as net sown area..i.e farming..
About 22% of land under forest and the rest of land is used for various purpose like housing ,recreation and for industrial activities...
Increasing population and subsequent
Increase in demand for resource..is the main reason that forested land has not increased during this period...
