Out of this, 4.2 million hectare land is the net cultivation area, leaving less than 17% area under habitation, roads, canals, wastelands etc.Highest proportion of India’s natural resource is land. Largest number of its habitat is also engaged in agriculture. Therefore, in any scheme of economic development of the country agriculture holds a position of basic importance rather utmost important. Land is the only natural resource that Punjab had for its future generation, so needs to be conserved and should be developed sustainable. The agriculture lands and agriculture are facing serious challenges. In due course of time, the increased agricultural production in other states will dampen the demand for Punjab cereals.
