Indian government warns 315 districts could see reduced kharif rainfall

Government revises kharif contingency plans

With a rainfall deficit already at around 43% nationally, the government is stepping up.
They're revising contingency plans, building water-saving structures, and advising farmers to delay sowing or switch to shorter-duration crops.
Support schemes like PM Fasal Bima Yojana and Kisan Credit Card are being mobilized, plus digital advisory services to help farmers stay prepared and minimize losses.
