Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Uncultivated land was taken over by the colonial government and given to selected individuals. This rule was called the Waste Land rules. All the wasteland seemed unproductive from the Rule of the Land to the colonial government. So grasslands are also considered wastelands because they do not generate income or agricultural products. The colonial authorities wanted to cultivate gardens so they could obtain income and farming goods from these lands. Under the wasteland regulations, the wasteland is taken over and assigned to selected individuals entitled to concessions and incentives to settle on that land.
