GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Moreover, nearly half of India’s farmland, which has no irrigation cover, depends on annual June-September rains. Further, the monsoon provides 70% of India’s annual rainfall and determines the yield of several grains and pulses, including rice, sugarcane, wheat, and oilseeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the monsoon, the wind direction reverses. Moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean come to fill up the void, but because they can’t pass through the Himalayas region, they’re forced to rise. The gain in altitude of the clouds results in a drop in temperature, bringing about rain.
