Changes in the Agricultural Pattern of Nawalgarh Tehsil and Its Impact on Land Use

Abstract

Rajasthan consists of a total of 41 districts, among which Jhunjhunu is one of the most significant and historically old districts. It is located in the northeastern part of Rajasthan and is a major part of the Shekhawati region. Positioned between western Rajasthan and northern India, this district is well known for its historical, cultural, and geographical significance. Jhunjhunu district covers an area of approximately 5,928 square kilometers and is situated at an elevation of about 323 meters above sea level. Some parts of Jhunjhunu are located near the Aravalli hills, reflecting the region's diverse geography. A portion of the district lies on the southeastern edge of the Thar Desert, contributing to its arid climate.
Jhunjhunu district comprises eleven tehsils, one of which is Nawalgarh. Nawalgarh is particularly known for its rich cultural heritage, ancient havelis, and the famous fresco paintings of the Shekhawati region. This tehsil is renowned not only for its historical and geographical significance but also for its socio-economic importance. Nawalgarh tehsil is situated in the eastern part of Jhunjhunu district, covering an area of approximately 1,300 square kilometers. Its proximity to the Aravalli mountain range makes it geographically distinct. It shares a boundary with Sikar district and is connected to other tehsils of Jhunjhunu. The tehsil is located at an elevation of around 379 meters above sea level and experiences a semi-arid climate. The average annual rainfall in Nawalgarh is about 40-50 cm, which plays a crucial role in agriculture.
