Explanation
As per the Indian land-use classification, culturable wasteland refers to land which is available for cultivation but is not used due to some reason, and has been left fallow for more than five years in succession. With suitable reclamation it can be brought under cultivation. Lands fallow for shorter durations are classified as 'current fallow' or 'other fallow' rather than culturable wasteland.
