On an outline map of India show wheat producing areas.

Correct Answer

On the outline map of India, the following wheat-producing areas should be marked:

  1. Punjab and Haryana – These states form part of the Ganga-Satluj plains in the north-west, which is one of the two important wheat-growing zones in the country.

  2. Uttar Pradesh and Bihar – These states also lie in the northern plains and are major wheat-producing regions.

  3. Madhya Pradesh – This state represents the black soil region of the Deccan, which is the second important wheat-growing zone.

  4. Rajasthan – Parts of this state also produce wheat as a major crop.

These areas are marked because wheat is the main food crop in the north and north-western part of India, requiring a cool growing season and bright sunshine at the time of ripening.
