Which Indian state has the largest share of the total wasteland area in the country?

A. Rajasthan✓ Correct Answer
B. Madhya Pradesh
C. Gujarat
D. Maharashtra

💡 Solution & Explanation

Rajasthan contains the largest share of wasteland area in India, primarily driven by the vast expanse of the Thar Desert and arid rocky terrain unsuitable for conventional agriculture. Other states have significant forest or agricultural cover that limits their overall wasteland proportions. Land use pattern analysis is a key area in Indian economic geography.
