Telangana Faces Agrarian Crisis Due to Drought
Telangana is facing a big problem with farming because it hasn't rained enough.
Out of 33 districts, 23 are very dry.
The rain that fell is less than usual, and the water underground is also running low.
This is making it hard for farmers to grow crops.
The government is telling farmers to be careful about what they plant, but farmers are worried and need more help.
If it doesn't rain more soon, there could be a big crisis in farming.
23 out of 33 districts in Telangana are drought-affected due to deficit rainfall.
Average rainfall is 217.4 mm, which is 24% less than the normal 287.6 mm.
Groundwater levels are depleting fast, affecting farming activities.
Adilabad has the highest sowing area at 97.11%, while Suryapet has the lowest at 15.58%.
The government has launched awareness programs about the irrigation crisis, but farmers demand immediate solutions.
