Solution

  • Plenty of rain to India is only during the monsoon season.
  • Most of the months, India remains dry.
  • Even during the monsoon season, Northwestern India and western India and rain shadow regions of western ghats do not receive rainfall.
  • According to World Bank report, only 38 % of the Indian land is reliably irrigated. The remaining unirrigated land is dependent on rain-fed irrigation.
