(b) Other than current fallow (Ieft uncultivated. for the past 1 to 5 agricultural years).
(v) Net sown area: Area sown more than once in an agricultural year plus net sown area is known as gross cropped area.
India has a variety of relief features of land 1.e., mountains, plateaus, plains and islands. (i) 43 per cent of land is plain. It is useful for agriculture and industry.

(b) It is necessary due to the following reasons:
(i) We have limited quantity of resources.
(ii) Irrational consumption and over-utilisation of resources may lead to socio-economic and environmental problems.
(iii) It is also required for sustainable development.
(c) Gandhi ji said, ‘There is enough for everybody’s need and not for any body’s greed’. He stated that the root cause for resource depletion at the global level was the greedy and selfish individuals and exploitative nature of modern technology. He was against mass production and was in favour of the production by the masses.

In India efforts have been made from the beginning of the First Five year plan to achieve the goals of resource planning. Generally for the development of any region the -availability of resources is a necessary condition besides corresponding changes in technology and institutions. In India, many regions are rich in resources but these are included in economically backward regions and vice-versa. During British rule in India, the Britishers with higher level of technological development exploited our resources. Therefore, in India resource development means the availability of resources as well as the technology, quality of human resources and the historical experience of the people.

A) (l) Resource planning is a technique or kill of proper utilisation of resources. It consists of three stages which are given below:
(a) Identification and inventory of resources across the regions of the country.
(b) Evolving a planning structure endowed with appropriate technology, skill and institutional set up for implementing resource development plans.
(c) Matching the resource development plans with overall national development plans.
(ii) Balanced resource planning is very important for a country like India do to the following reasons. It has enormous diversity in the availability of resources as given below:
(a): Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh – rich in minerals and coal deposits.
(b) Arunachal Pradesh – abundance of water resources.
(c) Rajasthan – lot of solar and wind energy.
(d) Ladakh – rich cultural heritage.
(B) There is great variation in the availability of resources. Some regions are rich in one resource but deficient in other, as mentioned below:
(l) Arunachal Pradesh – Lack of infrastructure.
(ii) Rajasthan – Lack of water resources.
(iii) Ladakh – Deficient in water, infrastructure and vital minerals.
(C) There is lack of technology in some regions. Thus there are regions that are rich in resources but these are included in economically backward regions. In view of the above factors balanced resource planning is necessary in India, so that resources may be utilised properly for the economic development of the country.
