Detailed Solution

The given statement is true. For the great majority of Indians, rice is the principal food crop. Rice is grown throughout northern and northern-eastern India's plains, along the coast and in deltaic locations. Our country is the world's second-largest producer of rice after China. It is a Kharif crop that requires high temperatures (above 25°C), high humidity, and more than 100 cm of yearly rainfall. In areas with limited rainfall, it flourishes with irrigation. Thanks to a sophisticated network of canal irrigation and tube wells, rice can now be produced in areas with low rainfall, such as Punjab, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Rajasthan.
