The other cereals are maize, sorghum, pearl-millet , finger millet and a few minor millets. Rice is grown all over India barring the dry desert areas of Rajasthan state, while wheat is grown mostly in the north and part of central India, where there is a distinct winter season. Before Green Revolution wheat was mostly sown in the middle of October.
