Agricultural property of India depends very much on timely and adequately distributed rainfall. If it fails, agriculture is adversely affected particularly in those regions where means of irrigation are not developed. Monsoon is that axis around which revolves the entire agricultural cycle of India. Around 64% people of India depend on agriculture for their livelihood and agriculture itself is based on south-west monsoon. Except Himalayas all the parts of the country have temperature above the threshold level to grow the crops or plants throughout the year. Regional variations in monsoon climate help in growing various types of crops. Variability of rainfall brings droughts or floods every year in some parts of the country.
