Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Rice, millets, maize, groundnut, jute, cotton are all examples of Kharif crops. Kharif crops are also known as monsoon crops and these crops are grown throughout India but in various periods, because of the unpredictability of the monsoon and the large geographical variation of Indian topography. These are the crops that mainly depend on the southwestern monsoon for their cultivation and proper growth. But in India, some places receive less rainfall, so in those areas, additional irrigation facilities are arranged to have better crop production to meet the needs of the growing population. For instance, the areas of Odisha receive heavy rainfall due to which the cultivation of rice even takes place as a subsistence crop as there is no need for irrigation, while on the other hand in Punjab and Haryana rice cultivation is only done in the form of commercial crops as these areas receive less rainfall and need irrigation.
