Explanation:

The Punjab state had a large area under various categories of waste lands two decades ago (as per Wasteland Atlas of India, 2003, “the land which is degraded and is presently lying unutilized except current fallow due to different constraints” is called wasteland). However, at present only 2.33%(1172.84 sq km) of total area of the state is under various categories of wastelands.Mukatsar district has highest area (186.8 sq km) under waste lands, followed by Ferozpur (148.1 sq km), Bathinda (144.4 sq km) and Gurdaspur (94.5 sq km).
