How the shortfall of rain can or is hurting India's economy and exports in general and of Food products.

India is a land of agriculture. It’s green... Everywhere...The tri colour Indian flag symbolizes harvest and fertility through GREEN colour. 

Agriculture is supposed to be the backbone of Indian economy.

Farmers consider Agriculture as a passion than an Occupation. They toil so much on the field, amidst devastating and erratic weather conditions .They sow not only seeds but also their hopes. They take great care of their crops as if they are their own children. They feel they are blessed by God when the seeds sprout out to see the open sky. Such is the dedication to Soil in India!

Agriculture production depends on rainfall and temperature. If any one of these doesn’t favour, then the whole process becomes a debacle. The farmer’s hard work and sleepless nights becomes meaningless and his life is in the doghouse. Rainfall is really necessary for plain sailing in production, thereby in boosting Indian Economy.

The natural sources aren’t always favorable. Of late, due to global warming, the amount of rainfall has started decreasing and the normal temperature shows a slight elevation.

The fertility of the crops is commensurate to the amount of rainfall it receives. The lack of appropriate amount of rainfall becomes the major cause of the teething troubles in Agriculture.

Due to lack of rainfall, the food crops are produced in paltry. There is a demand for food products and the graph of food prices Vs Time show a logarithmic pattern. i.e. increasing in due course of time. There has been an increased amount of suicidal reports these days, as farmers aren’t able to meet up their needs. The laymen cannot take in this aberrant shoot-up in prices and Indian economy slumps, as never before.

The soil also loses its moisture due to insufficient amount of rainfall. For crops like rice and wheat, adequate amount of water supply is mandatory. Due to this awry texture in the soil composition, the production shows a downfall. India, being the second largest producer in wheat and rice definitely succumbs to pressure in the Export Industry.

India‘s major income is through exports. Due to lack of rainfall, the quantity of crops produced does not meet up the expected and the desired target. So the Export Industry is at stake. For this, crops can be cultivated through Artificial Biological Farming methods. The yield would be good and fast, but the quality cannot be assured. After all…It’s QUALITY that matters not QUANTITY.

India is rich with diverse species of plants. Tourists from all over the world come to India to visit not only our ancient monuments but also to enjoy the sight of seasonal plants .Due to shortage of rainfall, the plants aren’t able to meet the standards and tourists also finds disappointment, thus hampering Indian tourism .

The best and the cheapest way to promote cultivation are planting trees. Various Organisational movements like the Vanamahotsava and Chipko Movement should be entertained. General Awareness about effects of rainfall should be made more explicit to people. Proper arrangements should be made to conserve water during floods, so that can be used during droughts. The Indian government should adopt the linking of rivers scheme. When one part of India suffers from floods, the other side is dry due to droughts. This proposal would really help to tart up Indian Agriculture, as water supply could be made available 365x24x7.

Rainfall is a boon to the world …A ‘TALISMAN’ to Agriculture...Rather to the Indian Soil.

Water is a panacea …Agriculture is no exception!
