Question

Which one of the following is NOT a land-use category?

Options

• Fallow land

• Marginal land

• Net Area Sown

• Culturable Wasteland

Answer 1

Marginal land

Explanation:

Marginal land is not a recognised land-use category. The formal agricultural land-use framework is strictly divided into specific categories, which include fallow land, net area sown, and culturable wasteland. While marginal land is a common economic term for property with very low value or poor soil quality, it does not exist as an official administrative classification in geographic records.
