The rainfall deficit and high temperatures have created drought-like conditions in several parts of Rajasthan, severely impacting agricultural activities. Farmers without irrigation facilities are unable to sow crops, and those who proceed risk crop failure due to inadequate soil moisture. Wheat acreage is expected to decline by up to 20 per cent compared to the previous season, potentially affecting food security and farmer incomes. Mustard sowing has seen some progress, but overall, the adverse weather conditions pose a significant challenge to achieving the state's agricultural targets.
