Explanation:
India is primarily an agricultural country. Climate, especially rainfall controls agricultural activities. In the extreme hot and dry season, agricultural activities come almost to a grinding halt.
We have two agricultural seasons in India depending upon rainfall occurrence. These are Rabi and Kharif season. June to October is the period of Kharif. During the season rice, jowar, maize, jute and cotton are raised. Rabi season is from November to April. Wheat, gram, barley, peas, linseed and mustard crops are grown in this season.
