In 2002-03, 54 per cent of the total land area was cultivable or fallow, 22.5 per cent was covered by forests and 3.5 per cent was used for grazing. The rest was waste land, with traces of miscellaneous cultivation. According to the recent data, about 54% of the total\xa0land\xa0area is cultivable or fallow, 22.5% is covered by forests, and 3.45% is\xa0used for\xa0grazing.
