Sand, silt, and clay are the basic types of soils and most of soils are made up of a combination of
these three.
There are various types of soils and the formation of soil is primarily influenced by major
factors such as climate, altitude and composition of bedrock etc.
Disproportion in the distribution of rainfall in the country and excessive heat contribute special
characters to the soils.
Land utilization:
Net sown area – 37.08% (60.43 lakh hectares)
Forest – 22.63 % (36.88 lakh hectares)
Current fallow lands – 8.91% (14.51 lakh hectares)
Land put non-agricultural uses – 12.63% (20.58 lakh hectares)
Barren and uncultivable land – 8.25 % (13.45 lakh hectares)
Fallow land – 7.03%
Net Sown Area is the area sown with crops but is counted only once
Gross Cropped Area (GCA) is the total area sown once, as well as more than once in a particular
year. When the crop is sown on a piece of land for twice, the area is counted twice in GCA
This represents cropped area which is kept fallow (unsown) during the current year
This includes all land classified either as forest under any legal enactment, or administered as
forest, whether State-owned or private, and whether wooded or maintained as potential forest
land.
The area of crops raised in the forest and grazing lands or areas open for grazing within the
forests remain included under the “forest area”
This includes all land occupied by buildings, roads and railways or under water, e.g. rivers and
canals, and other land put to uses other than agriculture
This includes all land covered by mountains, deserts, etc. Land which cannot be brought under
cultivation except at an exorbitant cost is classified as unculturable whether such land is in
isolated blocks or within cultivated holdings
This includes all land which was taken up for cultivation but is temporarily out of cultivation for
a period of not less than one year and not more than five years

If the government spends Rs 100 and earns Rs 125, the net revenue will be Rs 25.
However, if the government has estimated expenditure at Rs 100, and earning at Rs 130,
than its expected revenue would be set at Rs 30. But, since the actual earning is Rs 25, the it
will lead to a revenue deficit of Rs 5 (Expected Revenue Rs 30- Achieved Revenue Rs 25).
As government has no money, government can’t bring any new development scheme. It will become
difficult to tackle any crisis over country.

Wholesale Price Index (WPI) serves as an important determinant in formulation of trade, fiscal and
other economic policies by the government
WPI (Base Year 2004-05) for All Commodities increased from 117.3 in Apr 2018 to 119.9 in Mar 2019

by defined population group in a given area with reference to a base year.
o This basket of goods and services represents the level of living or the utility derived by the
consumers at given levels of their income, prices and tastes.
o This index is an important economic indicator and is widely considered as a barometer of
inflation, a tool for monitoring price stability and as a deflator in national accounts.
o Presently the consumer price indices compiled in India are CPI for Industrial workers CPI(IW), CPI
for Agricultural Labourers CPI(AL) and; Rural Labourers CPI(RL) and (Urban) and CPI(Rural).
o Wholesale Price Index (WPI) measures the average change in the prices of commodities for
bulk sale at the level of early stage of transactions.
