- The Battle of Plassey in 1757 was an important East India Company victory over the Nawab of Bengal that increased EIC power in Bengal.
- Later conflicts like the Battle of Buxar in 1764 and the Anglo-Mysore Wars in the late 1700s further expanded EIC control across India.
- The British implemented land revenue systems like the Permanent Settlement, Mahalwari system, and Ryotwari system to administer taxation across their territories in India.

types rich
in iron and aluminu
WHERE IT IS
FOUND
Red soil- large tracts of
western Tamil Nadu,

soil from
physical as
well as
chemical
deterioratio
n is called
soil

34. It is most effective
in conserving soil
on mountain. In
this method the hill
slopes are cuted
into terrace to
create flat area to
grow crops. It
reduces the speed
35. In this method
cover crops such
as small grains
and grasses are
planted
alternatively with
cultivated crops in
narrow strips.
These cover crops
absorbs the
moisture to hold
36. In areas such as
orchards and
plantations, cover
crop are planted
between young
trees to check soil
erosion.
Leguminous crops
are often used as
they often add
nitrogen to soil.

CONSERVATION ARE :
DRIP IRRIGATION
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
RAINWATER

of energy. It is a clean , safe and
non-polluting source of energy
43. Nuclear energy is produced by the
disintegration of radioactive elements
like uranium and thorium. This
process is called nuclear fusion and
is used to generate electricity in
power stations.
44. Biogas is a gaseous fuel.
It is developed from organic waste
like dead plants,farm waste,kitchen
waste,animal and human waste.
45. Tidal energy is a energy generated from
the ocean tides.
