LAND UTILISATION
Of the important beads in the land utilisation of the district, agriculture and forest account for the most. The Satpuda hills in the north, the Satmala hills in the south and the central plain, are the main features of the land utilisation. The north and south of the district thus favoured the growth of forests while the central part encouraged cultivation. The proportion of net area sown to the geographical area, however varies considerably from about 8 per cent. in Akrani taluk a to about 76 per cent, in Sindkheda taluka. The talukas of Akrani, Shirpur, Taloda and Sakri have large areas of forests and barren lands. The low proportions of the area sown in the district are due to the larger areas being forest and barren lands. The forest area makes about 33 per cent, of the total geographical area of the district and is the third highest in the State. The net area sown in the district is about 45 per cent, of the geographical area against the average of about 58 per cent for the State. The following table gives taluka-wise land utilisation in the district, in 1952-53. 1956-57 and 1961-62:-
