The Rajasthan state can be divided into following zones and Jaipur falls
under the Semi Arid eastern plain.
Relief And Slope
Relief
Jaipur has an average elevation of 432 metres (1417 ft). Hill ranges, isolated
peaks with relative height of over 200 M, which belong to the Aravalli hill
system, occupy areas to the East and North of Jaipur. The longest range
known as Puranaghat and Nahargarh in Jaipur tehsil, as Bairath in Kotputli

metres/kilometre to 300 metres /kilometre. The district is distinctively
divided diagonally. The lower part of it has a slope less than 10 metres
/kilometre and the higher part has 10-20 metres /kilometre. The top most part
of the district has a slope again below 10 metres /kilometre.
The waste lands in Jaipur district are sparse and are not consolidated but are
spread over the arable unirrigated areas of the district.
Soil types
The soils of district Jaipur are greyish brown to brown and yellowish brown,
light to medium textured and deep to very deep. These soils can be classified
th in Entisols order by 7 approximation classification. Some soils belong to
Ardisols order.
LAND UTILISATION
The land use gives vital information regarding areas under different uses viz.
reserved/ open & dense/ degraded forests, plantation, water bodies, waste
land, etc. The land utilisation of the district is as follows:
Land
Utilization
The land utilisation of the district as depicted below

indicates that major utilisation of the land in Jaipur is as
agricultural area followed by sown area followed by a large percentage of cropped land a n d
a n e q u a l l y l a r g e pe rce nta ge o f a rea f o r Utilisation purposes.
In order to get the accurate data models of land utilization in the villages of
Jaipur district the land use as per the census 2001 has been used. Following
are the uses covered:
1. Forest cover
2. Total irrigated area
3. Unirrigated area
4. Culturable waste
5. Area not available for cultivation
Forest Cover
This includes all lands classed as forest under any legal enactment dealing with forests or
administered
as forests, whether state-owned or
private, and whether wooded or maintained as potential forest land. The area of crops raised
in the forest
and grazing lands or areas open for grazing within the forests remain included under the
forest area.
District of Jaipur has 355 villages which have some forest cover. Out of these villages, 69
villages have forest cover greater than 50% of the total village area. There are 23 villages
with forest area more than 75% of the village areas. The map indicates the villages having
forest cover. The darker shade has shows the maximum forest area in the village and the
lighter the shade
lesser the forest area.
Total irrigated area
Multiple farming and multiple cropping need irrigation. The

total area irrigated under all crops represents the gross irrigated area which represents the
gross irrigated area, which comprises
the net irrigated area plus the area on which two crops are grown
and irrigated during the same agricultural year.
In the district, of 2131 villages, 2096 villages are the villages in

which irrigation is done. Of these villages, there are 658 villages
where more than 50% of the area is under irrigation. There are 199 villages where the
irrigation is more than 75% of the village area. These villages lie on the eastern and north
eastern part of the district. It becomes an important indicator in assessing the zoning. The
map gives the representation of the villages with the %of village area under irrigation.
Unirrigated area
There are 482 villages where the un-irrigated land to the total
village area is greater than 50% and 89 villages with un-irrigated
area more than 75%. These villages lie towards the south of
the district. The following map represents the same.
Culturable Wasteland
This includes lands available for cultivation, whether not taken up for cultivation or taken up
for
cultivation once but not cultivated during the current year and the last five years or more in
succession
for one reason or other. Such lands may be either fallow or covered with shrubs and jungles
which are
not put to any use.
Area not available for cultivation

This would include Forest area under non-agricultural use, barren and uncultivable land. As
area
under forests has been covered, thus area under non agricultural use, barren and
uncultivated land has been used.
i) Area under Non-Agricultural Use: All lands occupied by buildings or ponds or lands put to
use other than agriculture will be included in this category. Only such lands within the
cultivated holding should be covered in the Census.
ii) Barren and Uncultivable Land: All barren and uncultivable land within the cultivated
holding.
