The weak monsoon has severely impacted rain-fed farming regions, leading to reduced soil moisture and delayed crop growth. Farmers in states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Karnataka are facing challenges due to prolonged dry spells and low reservoir levels. Paddy transplantation has been delayed in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar, with some farmers shifting to alternative crops. The situation is particularly dire in regions with limited irrigation facilities, where agriculture is heavily dependent on monsoon rainfall. The drought-like conditions could lead to reduced agricultural output and economic stress for farmers.
