Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The reason is India's uneven and huge topography. Due to its huge topographical land, some areas are well equipped with minerals and while on the other hand, some areas are totally dependent on others to have the basic needs as well. Not only just topography, but also the advanced resources are not evenly distributed, there are many areas that are well equipped with natural resources but when it comes to extracting them and using them there is no clue at all because of the lack of technological advancements.

The same is the case with Rajasthan, it has two renewable sources of energy sun and wind, but it lacks water resources.
