Question

How is tropical monsoon forest useful for the Indian economy? (Any two points)

Answer 1

Tropical monsoon forests benefit the Indian economy in two main ways:

1. Through the use of medicinal plants and herbs, these forests sustain a rich biodiversity that serves as a supply of resources for sectors like pharmaceuticals.
2. They sustain rainfall patterns, control the climate, and promote agriculture by supplying water all year round, hence making a substantial contribution to the stability and productivity of India's agriculture.
