The British enacted the Waste land rules in various parts of the country for the following reasons:
Land revenue was one of the main sources of British finance. By expanding cultivation it could increase its revenue.
To colonial officers all uncultivated land appeared to be unproductive and was seen as waste land. It could neither produce revenue nor agricultural products.
Cultivation of jute, cotton and wheat was important as it was required in England. For this, they had to bring the land under them.
