State brief :

Gujarat is located on the west coast of India surrounded by the Arabian Sea in the West,Rajasthan in the North and North-East, Madhya Pradesh in the East and Maharashtra statein the South and South East. It is situated between 20°1' and 24°7' north latitudes and68°4' and 74°4'east longitudes. The state has the longest coastline of about 1600 km. Thestate has three distinct geographical regions – a corridor which is the industrial mainland,a peninsula known as Saurashtra, and Kutch, which is partly desert and partly marshland.Gujarat has varied climatic conditions. The north-western part is mostly dry due to thedesert areas while the southern region is moist due to heavy rainfall during the monsoonseason. The southern districts receive maximum rainfall, making it suitable for vegetation.The northern region is dry because of the adjoining desert. The Arabian Sea and the Gulfof Cambay make the weather pleasant. Areas like Kutch, Jamnagar, Panchmahals andMehsana fall in the rain shadow region and thus receive little rainfall. The overall climateof the state is extreme due to the variation in topography.

State brief :

Maharashtra encompasses an area of 308,000 km² (119,000 mi²), and is the third largeststate in India. Maharashtra is bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west, Gujarat and theUnion territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli to the northwest, Madhya Pradesh to thenortheast, Chhattisgarh to the east, Karnataka to the south, Andhra Pradesh to thesoutheast, and Goa to the southwest. Maharashtra's physical features are quitehomogeneous. The most interesting part of the topography is the presence of theWestern Ghats and the Deccan Plateau. The Western Ghats better known as Sahyadri, area hilly range running parallel to the coast. To the west of these hills lie the Konkan coastalplains and the east of the Ghats lies the flat Deccan Plateau. The Western Ghats form oneof the three watersheds of India, from which many South Indian rivers originate, notableamong them being Godavari River, and Krishna, which flow eastward into the Bay ofBengal, forming one of the greatest river basins in India. Maharashtra experiences tropicalmonsoon climate.

State brief :

Tamil Nadu covers an area of 130,058 square kilometres (50,216 sq mi), and is the

eleventh largest state in India. Geographically, Tamilnadu is situated on the south

eastern side of the Indian Peninsula between the northern latitude of 8.5" and 13.35"

and the eastern longitude of 76.15" and 80.20".The western, southern and the north-

western parts are hilly and rich in vegetation. Tamil Nadu is the only state in India which

has both the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats and they both meet at the Nilgiri hills.

Tamil Nadu has a coastline of about 910 kilometres (600 mi) which is the country’s third

longest coastline. The climate of the state ranges from dry sub-humid to semi-arid. The

state has three distinct periods of rainfall: (1) Advancing monsoon period, South West

monsoon (from June to September), with strong southwest winds; (2) North East

monsoon (from October to December), with dominant northeast winds; and (3) Dry

season (from January to May). Tamil Nadu is classified into seven agro-climatic zones:

north-east, north-west, west, southern, high rainfall, high altitude hilly, and Cauvery

Delta (fertile agricultural zone).
