“…Compared to those districts (Faridabad, Palwal, Nuh, Gurgaon, Rewari, Mahendragarh, Charkhi Dadri, Bhiwani, Jhajjar, Rohtak, Sonipat, Panipat, Jind, Karnal) of Haryana declared as a part of National Capital Region (NCR), Hisar is less explored in terms of research. Limited studies available for Hisar at the district and city level (Rajesh, 2018;Kumar et al, 2016;Kaushik et al, 2015;Shashikant et al, 2015;Jain et al, 1991) reported that small-scale industries, educational facilities, transportation development are the main factors responsible for the rapid urban growth and expansion of Hisar city along the National Highway (NH) no.10 and Sirsa road. Such uncontrolled expansion of built-up region in the central part of Hisar Tehsil has resulted into the loss of scrub land and productive agricultural land.…”
