Sparsely populated areas of India are high mountain regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh and desert parts of Rajasthan. Reasons:
(i) Extremely cold climatic condition, which makes living difficult.
(ii) High and snow covered areas do not favour any kind of habitation.
(iii) There are few regions which are fertile but they too are small and scattered. Besides that, it is difficult to approach these areas since there are no good means of transportation and communication available.
(iv) Desert area of Rajasthan is arid, hot and dry region. It has sandy soils, not suitable for cultivation. So, it does not favour any habitation.

(iv) In India, about 64 per cent of the population is engaged only in agriculture.
(v) The proportion of population dependent on secondary and tertiary sectors is also less (about 13 and 20 per cent, respectively) in India.
(vi) Now, however, there has been an occupational shift in favour of the secondary and tertiary sectors with the growing industrialisation and urbanisation in recent times.
