Q. Approximately what area of India’s Total Land Area is cultivable?
Answer: 51%
Notes: About 51% of India's land is cultivable. This means that the total sown area is equal to the area under cultivation, but after the harvest, it excludes ruined areas. If the same land parcel is used twice in the same year, the area of this parcel can be counted twice. India's arable land area of 159.7 million hectares (394.6 million acres) is the second largest in the world, after the United States. Agriculture is the mainstay of the Indian economy. It sustains two-thirds of the population and provides employment to about two-thirds of the country's workers. Most of the industries get raw materials from agriculture.
