| What is included in the classification of land under non-agricultural uses? | all land occupied by buildings, roads and railways or under water, e.g. rivers and canals, and other land put to uses other than agriculture | For Land-Use Statistics Publication, Nine Fold Classification is followed, based on the recommendation of a Technical Committee on Coordination of Agriculture Statistics set up in 1948. A. Classification adopted for Land-Use Statistics: Concepts & Definitions (i) Forest Area: This includes all land classified either as forest under any legal enactment, or administered as forest, whether State-owned or private, and whether wooded or maintained as potential forest land. The area of crops raised in the forest and grazing lands or areas open for grazing within the forests remain included under the “forest area”. (ii) Area under Non-agricultural Uses: This includes all land occupied by buildings, roads and railways or under water, e.g. rivers and canals, and other land put to uses other than agriculture. | 669 | definition | 1.000 | (ii) Area under Non-agricultural Uses: This includes all land occupied by buildings, roads and railways or under water, e.g. rivers and canals, and other land put to uses other than agriculture. | 9 | page=9,block=5 | 0.700 | valid |
| What kind of land is categorized as land under miscellaneous tree crops? | all cultivable land, which is not included in ‘Net area sown’ but is put to some agricultural use | (iv) Permanent Pasture and other Grazing Land: This includes all grazing land whether it is permanent pasture/meadows or not. Village common grazing land is included under this category. (v) Land under Miscellaneous Tree Crops, etc.: This includes all cultivable land, which is not included in ‘Net area sown’ but is put to some agricultural use. Land under casuarina trees, thatching grasses, bamboo bushes and other groves for fuel, etc. which are not included under ‘Orchards’ are classified under this category. (vi) Culturable Waste Land: This includes land available for cultivation, whether taken up or not taken up for cultivation once, but not cultivated during the last five years or more in succession including the current year for some reason or the other. Such land may be either fallow or covered with shrubs and jungles, which are not put to any use. | 248 | definition | 1.000 | (v) Land under Miscellaneous Tree Crops, etc.: This includes all cultivable land, which is not included in ‘Net area sown’ but is put to some agricultural use. | 10 | page=10,block=0 | ||
| What does the term 'current fallows' mean in the context of land use? | cropped area, which is kept fallow during the current year | They may be accessible or inaccessible and may lie in isolated blocks or within cultivated holdings. (vii) 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. (viii) Current Fallows: This represents cropped area, which is kept fallow during the current year. (ix) 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. B. Definitions of some Commonly Used Terms: (i) Geographical Area: The latest figures of geographical area of the State/Union Territories are as provided by the Office of the Surveyor General of India. | 354 | definition | 1.000 | (viii) Current Fallows: This represents cropped area, which is kept fallow during the current year. | 10 | page=10,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What does a blank space in the data indicate? | not available or no reporting of data from the States/UTs | (3) ‘0’ means area is less than 500 hectares.

| What is the definition of net irrigated area? | It is the area irrigated through any source once in a year for a particular crop. | (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 / 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. (vi) Total Net Un-Irrigated Area: It is the area arrived at by deducting the net irrigated area from net sown area. (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. | 231 | definition | 1.000 | 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 / Gross Irrigated Area: It is the total area under crops, irrigated once and/or more than once in a year. | 11 | page=11,block=0 | ||
