Monsoon Failure in Kalyana Karnataka Deepens Farm Distress

Monsoon Failure in Kalyana Karnataka Deepens Farm Distress

In Kalyana Karnataka, the monsoon has failed, causing crops to dry up and farmers to lose hope.

Many farming families, including small and medium farmers, are leaving their villages to find work in cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune.

The reservoirs are also running low, making irrigation uncertain.

Farmers are protesting, demanding that the government declare the region drought-hit and provide relief.

They want compensation for their lost crops, free seeds and fertilizers to plant again, and measures to stop more people from leaving their villages.
