(1) Net sown area 



(2) Current fallow 



(3) Other uncultivated land (exculding fallow land) 



(4) Fallow land other than current fallow 



(5) Culturabie waste land and 



(6) Land not available for cultivation. 



On the basis of absolute area figures under different land use classes percenfages 

 have been derived and presented In table-3 (B). Similarly inter-se percentage distribution 

 of area under different land use classes has been worked out and presented in tabie-3 (C) 



Table 4 



Size class-wise number and area of operational holdings classified according to three 

 categories viz 



(1) Wholly irrigated, 



(2) Wholly unirrigated and 



(3) Partly irrigated and Partly unirrigated holdings, 



have been shown in tab!e-4(A).0nthe basis of absolute number and area of operational holdings 



by irrigation status, percentage distribution of number of operational holdings by irrigation 

 status has beenworked out and presented in table-4 (B). Similarly inter-se percentage 

 distribution of number and area of opjratiorval holdings has been presented in table-4 (C). 



As against net irrigated area of 20.02 lakh hects. as per State Season and Crop Report 

 1980-81 and net irrigated area as per agricultural census 1980-31 is only 14.33 lakh hects. 

 Under reporting to such an extent in agricultural Census 1980-81 is ittributabie to mainly 

 ignoring or under reporting of irrigated are a under six crops, viz, wheat, cotton, spices and 

 Condimants Fodder, Summer Bajri and Summer groundnut 



Size class-wise number of operational holdings rece'ving irrigation and area irrigeted by 

 different sources of irrigation are shown in table 5 (A). Number of wells and tube-vi^eiis by 

 size class have been shown in table-5 (Bk Percentage distribution of number of opeiaiional 

 holdings receiving irrigation and area irrigated by different sources by size class is preser.ted 

 in table-5 ^C) Similarly inter-se percentage distribution of number of operotional lioldings 

 rocelving irrigation and area irrigated by different sources by size class is presented in 

 table-5 (D). 



As against net irrigated area of 20.02 lakhs hect. as per staxe season and crop report 

 1980-81 net irrigated area as per agricultural census 1980-81 is only 14.33 lakh hects. Under 

 reporting to such an extent in agricultural census 1980-81 is mainly attributable to ignoring or 

 irrigated area under six crops, viz. wheat, cotton, spices and condiments, fodder, summer- 

 bajri & summer-Groundnut. 



Table 6 



Size class-wise number of holdings growing different crops and crop-wise area irrigated 

 and unirrigated and total area are shown in table-6. 



As against gross irrigated area of 23.34 lakhs, hects. according to state season and 

 crop report 1980-81, gross irrigated area as per Agricultural Census 1980-81 is only 14.96 lakh 

 hects. Such a large difference In gross irrigated area in two sets of figures is mainly due to 

 under reporting of irrigated area under six crops in Agricultural Census viz. (1) Wheat, (2) 

 Cotton, (3) Spices &. Condiments, (4) Fodder crop, (5) S. Bajri and (6) S. Groundnut.
