Answer the following question.
Mention any two drawbacks of land use patterns in India. Suggest anyone measure improve it.
उत्तर
The two drawbacks of the land use pattern in India are :
- Division of agricultural land into small and fragmented holdings. It is a serious problem in densely populated and intensively cultivated states of Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar, and Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
- Cultural Waste: The land was used in the past for agriculture, but has been abandoned for reasons like lack of water, salinity or alkalinity of the soil, soil erosion, waterlogging, etc.
Measures to improve it :
- Consolidation of holding of land. Reallocation of holdings that are fragmented.
- Cooperative farming.
- Cultivable wasteland can be brought under cultivation by reclaiming the land. In the interest of long-term conservation and maintenance of Eco balance, this land should be put under afforestation and not under crop farming.
