Abstract

Chhattisgarh state has been divided into three Agro-climatic zones viz. Chhattisgarh plains, Bastar Plateau, and Northern Hills zone covering 51, 28 and 21 % of the geographical area, respectively. The location of the state is such that it is close to the Bay of Bengal, which is instrumental in bringing monsoon in the Northern part of the country. The state is comprised of 27 districts, bordered by Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh in the north, Andhra Pradesh in the south, Orissa in the east and Madhya Pradesh in the west. The state lies at 17°46' N to 24°5'N latitude and 80°15' E to 84°20' E longitude.
