Dear All, As you know, Census Village Amenities Tables (now called Village Directories) contain a huge amount of data on various attributes of villages. Of particular interest to me is the last set of columns, which are about land use in the village. Till Census 2001, there used to be a limited number of categories of land use: 4 main categories (forest, area not available for cultivation. culturable waste, and Net Sown area (NSA was given in two columns: irrigated land and unirrigated land).
In the 2011 census, they have moved to the 'standard' 9-fold classification: forest, Area under Non-Agricultural Uses, Barren & Un-cultivable Land, Permanent Pastures and Other Grazing Land, Land Under Miscellaneous Tree Crops etc., Culturable Waste Land, Fallows Land other than Current Fallows, Current Fallows, Net Area Sown, Total Unirrigated Land, Total Irrigated land. (Note that irr and unirr are subcategories of NSA). Plus they have given breakup of irrigated land by source. The question I have for you is: how do these 9-fold categories map onto the old 4-fold classification? Forest 2011 to forest 2001, Barren+AreaunderNAU in 2011 = area underNAU in 2001 Misc Tree Crops+Cult Waste+Permanent Pastures in 2011 = Culturable Waste in 2001 And Total Unirr + total Irr in 2011 = total unirr + total Irr in 2001 But then what happens to current fallows & long-term fallows?? Where were they included in 2001 ? Under Unirr? or under Culturable waste ? Appreciate your help. Could not find any online documents explaining this.
