Description 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.
