Technical and economic development has led to more consumption of resources. Higher level of technological development needs more and more resources for production activities. Gandhiji placed the exploitative nature of modern technology as the root cause for resource depletion at the global level. He was against mass production and wanted to replace it with the production by the
masses. It was the higher level of technological development of the colonial countries that was responsible for the over exploitation on of resources of the colonies. Similarly, economic development depends on more consumption of resources. For example, water resources are being over exploited to expand irrigated area and dry-season agriculture.
(a) The land under permanent pasture has decreased. (b) The pattern of net sown area varies greatly from one state to another. It is over 80 percent of the total area in Punjab and Haryana and less than 10 per cent in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur and Andaman and Nicobar Island. (c) The land uRead more

(c) The land under forest has changed a little from 18.11% in1960-61 to 22.57% in 2002-03. It is still far lower than the desired 33 per cent of the geographical area as it was outlined in the National Forest Policy (1952). Land under forest has not increased due to various factors, namely, agricultural expansion, large-scale development projects or river valley projects, grazing and fuel collection.
(a) Alluvial soil is found in the river deltas of the eastern coast particularly in the deltas of the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri rivers. (b) Three main features of this type of soil are as follows: (a) The alluvial soil consists of various proportions of sand, silt and clay.Read more

(b) Three main features of this type of soil are as follows:
(a) The alluvial soil consists of various proportions of sand, silt and clay.
(b) These soils are very fertile. Due to its high fertility, regions of alluvial soils are intensively cultivated and densely populated.
(c) These soils contain adequate proportion of potash, phosphoric acid and lime which are ideal for the growth of sugarcane, paddy, wheat and other cereal and pulse crops.
