Answer 1

The overall Indian economy remains very vulnerable to the monsoon, since poor rainfall can significantly reduce agricultural production. ... And with around 55% of India's arable land dependent on rain, the monsoon season could sway economic activity in the agriculture sector and industries linked to it.

The Indian economy is heavily dependent on agriculture and the livelihood of the Indian farmer largely depends on the Monsoon rains. If figures are to be believed, 70 per cent of the Indian population depends on farming, either directly or indirectly. Around 58 per cent of the total employment in the country is through agriculture. Also, the agricultural sector in our country contributes to around 18 per cent of the GDP.
