Haryana

While most of the land in Haryana is deep and fertile, there are specific regions characterized by sandy or eroded soils:

  • Southwest: This area features sandy soils that fringe the Thar (Great Indian) Desert of Rajasthan.1
  • Northeast: The hilly regions in this part of the state contain eroded lands.1

Although the majority of the state's land is arable, much of it requires irrigation to be productive.1
