Solution

The Northern Plains of the Indian territory form a major part of the Indian landmass. These plains are often referred to as the ​GangaBrahmaputra Plains because they have been formed as a result of the accumulation of a huge amount of silt and alluvium depositied by rivers over a period of time. This resulted in the formation of thick layers of fertile soil that vary from one place to another. They are suitable for cultivation. Hence, this region is considered the most fertile region in the world.
