As per the Ministry of Agriculture data from 1950–51 to 2014–15, which land use category in India has shown a declining trend?
कृषि मंत्रालय के 1950–51 से 2014–15 तक के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, भारत में किस भूमि उपयोग श्रेणी में गिरावट की प्रवृत्ति देखी गई है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Barren and wasteland/ ऊसर और बंजर भूमि
Explanation
According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (1950–51 to 2014–15), the area classified as barren and wasteland has shown a declining trend.
This decline is mainly due to land reclamation, irrigation development, afforestation, and improved agricultural practices, which converted previously unusable land into productive land.
कृषि एवं किसान कल्याण मंत्रालय के 1950–51 से 2014–15 के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, ऊसर और बंजर भूमि में गिरावट देखी गई है।
इसका मुख्य कारण भूमि सुधार, सिंचाई विकास, वनीकरण और बेहतर कृषि तकनीकें हैं, जिनसे अनुपयोगी भूमि को उपयोगी बनाया गया।
❌ Why Other Options Are Wrong (Bilingual)
1. Net sown area (निवल बोया क्षेत्र):
- It has generally increased or remained stable.
- यह सामान्यतः बढ़ा या स्थिर रहा है।
2. Forest area (वन क्षेत्र):
- Forest area has increased due to conservation policies.
- संरक्षण नीतियों के कारण वन क्षेत्र बढ़ा है।
3. Area under non-agricultural use (गैर-कृषि उपयोग):
- It has increased due to urbanization and industrialization.
- शहरीकरण और औद्योगीकरण के कारण यह बढ़ा है।
Extra Facts
1. Land Reforms / भूमि सुधार:
- Government programs helped convert wasteland into farmland.
- सरकारी योजनाओं ने बंजर भूमि को खेती योग्य बनाया।
2. Irrigation Expansion / सिंचाई विस्तार:
- Projects like canals and dams increased cultivable land.
- नहरों और बांधों से कृषि योग्य भूमि बढ़ी।
3. Urban Growth / शहरी विकास:
- Non-agricultural land increased due to cities expanding.
- शहरों के विस्तार से गैर-कृषि भूमि बढ़ी।
✅ Exam Trick
Declining category → Barren land
घटती श्रेणी → बंजर भूमि 👍
