Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Rice cultivation requires a high temperature and humidity. Rainfall above 100 cm is the minimum water requirement for cultivating rice. The western parts of India, mainly the Western Ghats region, have rice cultivation areas. Since the peninsular region lies close to the equator, a hot and hummus climate is prevalent. The high mountains of the Western Ghats act as barriers to the moisture-laden southwest monsoons, ensuring ample rainfall in the western parts of India. Also, the western states like Punjab and Haryana produce rice for commercial purposes using modern techniques, proper irrigation, high-yielding seeds, and chemical fertilisers.
