  • Rajasthan receives scanty rainfall and hence experience severe famine.
  • Scarcity of rainfall is due to following reasons:
  • South-east monsoon arriving from Bay of Bengal loses its moisture by the time it reaches north-western part of India where Rajasthan is located.
  • And the south-west monsoon arriving from Bay of Bengal flows parallel to the Aravalli mountains and reach north-east part of India.
