1.	Irrigation is the lifeline of Indian agriculture. Give reason.
Answer» Irrigation is the man-made method of providing water to the crops. In India, monsoon is irregular and uncertain. Most of the states receive less rainfall that too for a short period. Agriculture is one of the prime occupations of India. Hence, only one crop can be grown on a given land. By raising proper irrigation facilities, India is now able to take 2-3 crops in a year from the same land. Irrigation has largely increased the agricultural productivity. Hence, irrigation is the lifeline of Indian agriculture.
