In India, land-use classification is categorized by the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Ministry of Agriculture. The classification for fallow land is based on the duration for which it remains uncultivated:

  • Current Fallow: Land which is left without cultivation for one or less than one agricultural year.
  • Fallow other than current fallow: This refers to land left uncultivated for a period of more than one year but less than five years.
  • Culturable Waste Land: Any land that is left fallow or uncultivated for more than five years is classified as culturable waste land. This land can be brought under cultivation after improving it through reclamation practices.
  • Barren and Waste Land: Land that cannot be brought under cultivation with available technology, such as rugged hilly terrains or deserts.

Therefore, land left fallow for more than five years is termed as Culturable waste land (Option C).
