Answer:
Yes they indeed are!
Explanation:
Himalayas is the source of water for most of North India. The glaciers act as a huge reservoir of water for the north Indian rivers.
The rainfall, snow and glaciers feed the mighty rivers of North India that feed the Northern Plains.
Most rivers that originate from the Himalayas are perennial rivers.
These rivers carry not only the water, but also the sediments and deposit them in the northern plain.
This makes the Northern Plains the most fertile land in the world.
Hence Northern Plains of India are rightly known as the gift of the Himalayas.
