DR. YOGENDRA YADAV, ALPNA JYOTI

Abstract

A landscape that has been modified by the effects of human activities related to industrial development is generally termed as industrial landscape. An industrial landscape is a type of cultural landscape where human activities become ahead of primary activities through processing work. Industrial landscape is that area where intensive industrial activities are performed. In the district, there is potential of developing agro-industrial landscape. The entire district is an agricultural dominated economy hence the possibility appears to develop the agro-industrial landscape. Lakhisarai, Ramgarh Chowk, Halsi, Chanan etc are the small industrial centres. In this kind of agricultural diversification, farmers are taking a further step towards developing industrial landscape. Activities like horticulture, agro-forestry, and livestock raring etc. will provide impetus towards industrialization.
