Land Use Pattern in India: The use of land is determined both by physical factors such as topography, climate, soil types as well as human factors such as population density, technological capability and culture and traditions etc.

The facts of land pattern in India as per data for the year 2014-15 are as follows:
1. Land pattern in India is not balanced.

  1. There is 23.3% regions are available under forest.
  2. The land under permanent pasture is also low (3.3%).
  3. Maximum use of land is 45.5% under the net sown area and the minimum use is 1% under the diverse trees, tree crops and forest.

In 2014-15 only 5.19% forest has been increased in comparison to 1960-61. Rapid population growth is the main reason for not increasing the land under forest in India.
