Forest resources provide us medicinal plant, livestock farming and help to maintain the balance of environment. The geographical area of India is 32,87,263 Sq.Km. India ranks 7th according to area of world. Similarly, India ranks 7th in the cultivable area in the world. The total cultivable area is 18,64,00,000 hectares.

Area under cultivation is reduced due to growth of population in the country, development of industries, construction of roads, lakes etc. The type of land is different, in different states of India. States in Northern India are the hilly region so the are under cultivation and fertility of land is less. The part of Rajasthan and Gujarat’s state is covered by deserts.
