Detailed Solution

Mining is responsible for land degradation in Jharkhand.
Minerals are found abundantly in the Indian subcontinent. The discovery of these minerals led to the development of different sectors and subsequently led to the nation's development. However, the minerals are mostly seen deep inside the Earth’s crust. It requires mining to take out these elements. Mining leads to the clearing of forest cover in the region. The clearing of forest cover is irreversible since mining disturbs the balance of land and affects soil fertility. The land becomes a mine spoil, where no vegetation can be grown. Jharkhand has abundant mineral reserves like coal, iron ore, limestone, and bauxite, resulting in excessive mining and subsequent land degradation.
