Question

Give the geographical reason for the following statement:
Farmers in the Rajasthan desert depend on animal husbandry.

Short Note

Solution

  1. In Rajasthan, agriculture is not a dependable proposition. This region has rainfall less than 250 mm and a very hot summer with a temperature rising up to 50°C.
  2. Animal husbandry is the most viable model for arid, drought-prone regions. Vast areas in the desert are unfit for cultivation but have pastures.
  3. The major cattle population of Rajasthan consists of cows, buffalo, sheep, goats, and camels.
  4. Due to the great diversity of economically important domestic animals found in the Rajasthan desert, the farmers depend on animal husbandry for their livelihood.
