Gandhinagar, 15 March 2020
The deserted deserted and non-cultivable land in Gujarat was 26 lakh hectares in 2005-06. It has dropped to 21 lakh hectares in 10 years. 13.80% of the land in Gujarat is deserted and deserted. In Kutch district, 36.92% of such land is due to desert. The desert in Surendranagar, Jamnagar-Devbhumi Dwarka has 1.55 lakh hectares due to the coastline. In Bhavnagar, Surendranagar district, more than 10% of the land is saline or irrigable. In the rest of the district, less than 10 per cent of the land is barren. It is recommended to set up industries only on such land. In Gujarat, the use of such barren wasteland and cultivable land is seen as a good sign.
Gandhinagar is the least land deserted. Where 1 thousand hectares of land is badly deserted. 89 thousand hectares of land is deserted in Surendranagar. In Kutch, 16.85 lakh hectares of land was deserted in 2006-7, which is 14.59 lakh hectares in 2015-16. Thus, 2.26 lakh hectares of land has fallen in Kutch. 5 lakh hectares of land has been reduced to 50% of the land of Kutch.
Instead of setting up industries on agricultural land, instead of setting up industries on such barren land, it is possible to prevent non-cultivation of agricultural land. The land given to industries in Kutch is often found to be deserted and deserted.
The least deserted lands are the most distant areas along the coast. Nevertheless, the coastal districts such as Valsad, Surat, Kheda have little or no land.
13.75 lakh hectares of land was cultivated which is now due to non-cultivated land industries and residential and roads. That was just 11.62 lakh hectares of land 10 years ago. Thus, 2 lakh hectares of land has been consumed by cities and industries. Of this, 1 lakh hectares of land has been given to the industries. If those industries were established on deserted and wasteland, there would have been farming today.
