Land-use and its impact on environment: A study on Tengnoupal district, Manipur
Authors

Abstract
This study aims to examine land use and its
effects in the Tengnoupal District of Manipur. The district is primarily
Kuki-dominated, where the land serves multiple purposes. According to the 2011
census, the district's total population is roughly 59,000. The document seeks
to emphasize the overuse of land for building government facilities in the
district, which also leads to adverse effects on the environment. The
examination of land use in the district revealed that a majority of the
residents are involved in shifting agriculture. However, only a few of them
successfully began the practice of terrace farming in the Machi Block
sub-division. Establishing agriculture and cultivating long-term cash crops is
also taking place in the district, which helps mitigate soil erosion and
sustain ecological balance. The review and study also cover forest exploitation
via activities such as shifting cultivation, border fencing installation, and
the building of Integrated Check Posts (ICPs).
