    Land use pattern and its implication in Haryana agriculture
    (CCSHAU, 2006) Dharshan Singh; Sharma, U.K.
    A survey was conducted to study the land use pattern and its implication in Haryana agriculture because the land utilization is usually demand driven and an adjustment/allocation of the finite land resource under agricultural and non agricultural sector. The present results on land use pattern is necessary to develop future research strategies on land use planning and land use policies because the scarcity of land indicates the problem of choice of land and its uses. The land use pattern in Haryana is ultimately determined by a host of factors like human inhabitation, socio-economics, political, technical and institutional changes. Rational management of land resource play a crucial role in developing the Haryana economy. This study analyzedthe temporal changes in land use categories during the last 38 years. It was noticed that considerable shifts in area have occurred among different land use classes in the state during the independence period on account of several factors such as rising population needs for food and other agricultural commodities, expansion of urban housing and the Government programme for reclamation of barren and waste lands. These shifts in land use have tremendous implications towards future agricultural and industrial growth, urban expansion and the ecological balance in different parts of the state. While some land use shifts might have occurred in the desirable direction, some others are likely to have occurred in the undesirable direction. In general, land use shifts are occurring from describe Ecological & undesirable ecological section to either agriculture & non agriculture section. Moreover in case of Zone-II comparing districts of Gurgaon & Faridabad, more area shifts from agriculture sector to non agriculture section which is a negative point for Agriculture growth in the state. It needs rational planning for future in the state.
