| Abstract | Land is the basic resource of a nation. Land utilization expressed a reciprocal relationship between the prevailing ecological condition and human society of a region. Land use is an important aspect of geographical studies and it is the process of exploring the land for a specific objectives. The increasing population pressure, low man-land ratio, increasing rate of degradation of land are responsible for the optimal utilization of land resources. The use and over utilization of land can be accessed from its detailed analysis. Agriculture is one of the most complex and dynamic expressions among all primary economic activities performed and its structural, functional and development capacities depend on the interaction of several attributes or elements of environment. Human population spread only to those areas of the world where agriculture was possible and agricultural developments has taking place. Some selected and basic indicators have been used as measures of agricultural development, in terms of temporal trend as well as spatial patterns, which may be the prime factors behind the Regional Imbalances among the different parts of the region. The study area selected for the present study is the interfluve of Ajay-Mayurakshi River, parts of Birbhum district in West Bengal. Geographically, interfluve of Ajay-Mayurakshi River is a part of ancient “Rarh Bhumi” of Bengal, having favourable agro-environmental condition. The proposed interfluve region is mainly rain fed and intensified by mono-cropped cultivation system, still suffers by inter-regional disparity in agricultural development. The major objective of the present study is to undertake a comprehensive study to examine the general and existing land use pattern and to measure the land use efficiency with the help of cropping intensity index and finally to devise a suitable index of agricultural development and put focus on the regional disparities as well as regional problems; as an integral part of the agricultural development planning and management. For this specific study modern methodology and techniques of interpretation will be taken into account for final inference of the study. |
