Firstly it makes a country geographically & hence consequently culturally diverse. (Also historically, philosophically,politically diverse) Ultimately it makes our civilization rich. It makes the people more tolerant
It decreases agricultural dependence on other countries as we can grow a huge diversity of produce here in differing climes & cultures
It also increases what is referred to in Foreign Policy studies as 'Sphere of Influence'. As also our 'Sphere of Interest'. Because India's latitudinal spread is from Afghanistan to Myanmar we have a large neighbourhood. At the very least it gives us leverage in dealing with these countries.
Also dont forget that the Southern tip of Andaman & Nicobar archipelago is just 60 odd miles from Sumatra Island of Java. So in that sense Indonesia is also our neighbour.
Such a large neighbourhood naturally amplifies our credible soft power. It exerts a powerful influence on the culture of our neighbouring countries.
Also it reduces cost of trade.

The wide latitudinal extent of India from 8°4'N to 37°6'N has ample of advantages.The significant two advantages are stated below:
Firstly, the wide latitudinal extension of nearly 30 degrees results into wide variation in the climates. The southern part of India receives more sunlight than northern part which results into diversity of flora and fauna in our country. For example: In north we get tea, apples, dry fruits and medicinal plants etc. similarly from the south we get cotton, spices, mangoes and coffee etc.
Secondly, it helps in receiving monsoon from the southern part of India which lies in the warm tropical zone and from the northern part, the snow veiled Himalayas lying in the cool temperate zone is the source of perennial rivers to solve the problem of the water scarcity in the northern India.
Hope you got your answer.
