Explanation

As per the Indian land-use classification system in Land Revenue Records: 'Current fallow' is cultivable land left uncultivated for one agricultural year or less. 'Fallow other than current fallow' refers to land left uncultivated for more than one year but less than five years. 'Culturable wasteland' is land left uncultivated for more than five years but capable of being brought under cultivation. 'Barren and unculturable land' cannot be brought under cultivation at all. Hence the correct category is fallow other than current fallow.
