Explanation

The shaded area in the map for this CDS-I 2003 question identifies the distribution of Bajra (Pearl Millet). In India, Bajra is primarily cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions due to its high tolerance for drought and poor soil conditions.

  • Major Producing States: The distribution typically covers Rajasthan (the largest producer), Gujarat, Maharashtra, and parts of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
  • Climatic Requirements: It thrives in areas with low rainfall (40-50 cm) and high temperatures.
  • Soil: It grows well on sandy soils and shallow black soils, which are characteristic of the shaded regions in the western and central parts of India on such thematic maps.
