Summary, etc. The fundamental problem which the world faces today, is the rapidly increasing pressure of population on the resources of land. Today, India is facing the same problem and large parts of our country are lying waste due to various reasons such as salinity and alkalinity, soil erosion, water-logging, kans infesta tions and so on. All these lands are characterized by some kind of deficiency and non-availability of micro-nutrients. It is estimated that out of the total geographical area of 328 million hectares, about 150 million hectares are seriously affected by erosion, wind or water; about 7 million hectares by water-logging and salinity; another 20 million hectares by foods and another 20 million hectares could be added to this list due to the inade quacy of distribution systems and lack of proper arrangements for draining excess water. This brings the area to be improved to a total of 197 million hectares. The waste lands after recla mation could be utilized in various ways. They could be brought under cultivation, forests could be grown on them, pastures could also be developed, settlements and communication lines could also be developed here and so on. Thus, these wastelands could be utilized in various ways according to its type. India is a vast country with a population of about 684 millions (1981) and this population is increasing day by day. Increasing demand of food and other products is a compelling reasons for the use of these wastelands to their maximum limits. The Prime Mini ster of India, Shri Rajiv Gandhi, in his broadcast to the nation on 5th January, 1985, has also proposed to set up a National Wasteland Development Board with the object of bringing 5 million hectares of land every year under fuel fodder, pasture development and cultivation wherever economically feasible.<br/><br/>The book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter deals with the nature of the problem'. In this chapter the importance of the development of these wastelands has been discussed.

The nature of ownership of wastelands and their disposal for cultivation, suggestions for effective utilizations of wastelands, work undertaken by State administration and the economic aspects of reclamation of waste lands have also been discussed in this chapter.
