[:en]Gandhinagar, 30 January 2020 allgujaratnews.in@gmail.com

In a decade, 20 per cent of the agricultural land in Gujarat has increased by 20 per cent in non-farming. Shocking details have come out.

In Gujarat 10 years ago, 10.63 hectares of land was non-agricultural, which has increased to 13.63 lakh hectares.

Since the government of Gujarat has given more concessions to factory builders on agricultural land, fertile land has declined rapidly.

If the Government of Gujarat does not change its policy quickly, industry and business activity on agricultural land will increase.

Therefore, the farmers clearly believe that the government should provide poor land for the industry.

Because of the economic decline of the families where the farmers’ land has gone.

Non-cultivated land used in 2006-07 was 11.63 lakh hectares.

The non-cultivated land used in 2016-17 was 13.89 lakh hectares.

Thus 2.24 lakh hectares of land has been reduced from agriculture. The average yield of 20,545 hectares of land is decreasing every year for 11 years.

2249 sq km of cultivation has fallen and so much of the area has been converted into residential or industrial or commercial use has begun.

20,545 hectares, ie 555740 acres of land of N.A. Is done. Which covers 224,90,00,000 square meters of land.

What mean

When the action is taken to convert the agricultural land to non-cultivation, it directly means that other activities are being done instead of farming on the cultivated land. It is to be a residential building or commercial activity on the ground. Which involves activities like industry, commerce, roads.

Where did non-farming go?

The largest farming land in Rajkot and Morbi belt is non-cultivated. Then there are Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara. Where non-cultivated land has become the largest, economic income is increasing. Food or farm produce is declining.

Where farmers’ farming lands are not depleted, human settlements have not increased or economic activity is declining. Agricultural economists believe this. Areas like Amreli, Bhavnagar, Bharuch, Valsad, Narmada, Gandhinagar are located. Where only residential buildings are becoming. Commercial activity is low or industries are developing on bad land in these districts.

These details have come out in the Season and Crop Report (SCR) recently announced by the Department of Agriculture.
