However, there are wide variations in the poverty status across different regions of the state. In the southern region, 16 FOOD SECURITY ATLAS OF RURAL RAJASTHAN
Figure 2.1: Region-wise Percentage Share of Poor Households by Social Group for Rural Rajasthan (2004-05) Source: Calculated from NSS 61st Round, 2004-05. conditions of the households are worse due to high poverty ratio compared to rest of the regions. This ratio is more than one-third higher than that at the state level, because of factors such as a concentration of tribal population which has a limited access to the productive resources, limited size of land holdings, etc. (Sagar and Ahuja 1987). The south-eastern and north-eastern regions have a lower poverty ratio because these regions are endowed with land and water resources and favourable agro-climatic conditions, which have all aided in enhancing agricultural production. Figure 2.1 shows the region-wise percentage share of poor households by Social Groups for Rural Rajasthan (2004-05). The poverty rate of the Scheduled Tribe population is highest in southern Rajasthan whereas in the western region of Rajasthan, both Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes show a high incidence of poverty. 2.4 Environmental Conditions The state has a very limited coverage of forests i.e. less than 5 per cent. As per the available estimates of the state Forest Department, 1.85 and 2.85 per cent are categorized as dense and degraded forests respectively. At the same time, wastelands cover almost 30 per cent of the total geographical area. As a result, the extent of net area cultivated is about 44 per cent of the total area of the state, which is slightly lower than the national average of 45 per cent (Table 2.6). The water scarcity and fluctuations in rainfall across agro-climatic regions are the major constraints for further expansion of area under cultivation. It also points to the necessity of switching from a water- intensive to a less water-consuming cropping pattern (Vyas, 2005). This is important in determining household income and thus access to food. Rajasthan is below the all-India average in agricultural productivity. A PROFILE OF THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN 17
