Fallow Lands other than Current Fallows: This includes all land, which was taken up for cultivation but is temporarily out of cultivation for a period of not less than one year and not more than five years. 8. Current Fallows: This represents cropped area, which is kept fallow during the current year. 9. Net Area Sown: This represents the total area sown with crops and orchards. Area sown more than once in the same year is counted only once.

This total area is also known as total cropped area or total area sown. (iv) Area Sown more than once: This represents the areas on which crops are cultivated more than once during the agricultural year. This is obtained by deducting Net Area Sown from Gross Cropped Area. (v) Irrigated Area: The area is assumed to be irrigated for cultivation through such sources as canals (Govt. & Private), tanks, tube-wells, other wells and other sources. It is divided into two categories: (a) Net Irrigated Area: It is the area irrigated through any source once in a year for a particular crop. (b) Total Net Un-irrigated Area: It is the area arrived at by deducting the net irrigated area from net sown area. | 42 | definition | 1.000 | (iii) Gross Cropped Area: This represents the total area sown once and/or more than once in a particular year, i.e. | 9 | page=9,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is included in the total or gross irrigated area? | the total area under crops, irrigated once and/or more than once in a year | (vi) Total / Gross Irrigated Area: It is the total area under crops, irrigated once and/or more than once in a year. It is counted as many times as the number of times the areas are cropped and irrigated in a year. (vii) Total/Gross Un-Irrigated Area: It is the area arrived at by deducting the gross irrigated area from the gross sown area. (viii) Cropping Intensity: It is the ratio of Total Cropped Area to Net Area Sown. (ix) Agricultural Land/Total Culturable Land /Total Cultivable Area/Total Arable land: This consists of net area sown, current fallows, fallow lands other than current fallows, culturable waste land and land under miscellaneous tree crops. (x) Total Un-Cultivable Area/Land: It is the area arrived at by deducting the total cultivable area from the total reported area. | 41 | definition | 1.000 | (vi) Total / Gross Irrigated Area: It is the total area under crops, irrigated once and/or more than once in a year. | 9 | page=9,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What are the components of the total cultivated area? | net area sown and current fallows | (xi) Total Cultivated Area/Land: This consists of net area sown and current fallows.

| What does the value '0' indicate in the context of area measurements? | area is less than 500 hectares | While reported area is based on the information provided by the states, Geographical area is based on the data supplied by the Office of Director, Geographical Map Publication, Survey of India, Dehradun and includes the area under illegal occupation by China and Pakistan.
