Why are the Northern Plains important? |
|
Answer» The alluvial deposits in the northern plains make the land very fertile.The Ganga, the Indus and the Brahmaputra along with their branches provide continuous water supply in these regions.The fertile alluvial soil together with better climate and ample water make agriculture a fruitful occupation in the northern plains.Hence the northern plains are called the ‘granaries of the country’.Since agriculture is the backbone of the country and the northern plains contribute a major portion of yields, they are very important for the growth of the Indian economy. |
