Industrialization is not a major cause of desertification in Rajasthan. The main causes are deforestation, overgrazing, and climate change.

Deforestation contributes to desertification in Rajasthan by reducing the amount of vegetation that can hold the soil in place, increasing the amount of water that evaporates from the soil, and making the soil more susceptible to erosion.

Overgrazing contributes to desertification in Rajasthan by removing the vegetation that helps to hold the soil in place, compacting the soil, making it less able to absorb water, and increasing the amount of dust that is blown away by the wind.

Climate change contributes to desertification in Rajasthan by causing the temperature to rise, which is drying out the soil; causing the amount of rainfall to decrease, which is making it more difficult for plants to grow; and causing the wind to blow more strongly, which is eroding the soil.

Desertification in Rajasthan has led to a loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and water scarcity.

Reforestation, sustainable grazing practices, and water conservation are all measures that can be taken to combat desertification in Rajasthan.
