Drought Threatens Assam's Agricultural Backbone

Assam is experiencing a major lack of rain, which is hurting farming.

Since most people in Assam depend on farming, this is a serious problem.

The government is trying to help by fixing irrigation systems and offering insurance for crops.

Some people think the government should declare a drought sooner so they can get more help.

They are worried because the main rice crop is having trouble growing.

The goal is to protect the farmers and their livelihoods.
