The gola is a traditional and eco-friendly storing facility, once a very common sight in rural Odisha. It is made out of bamboo, then slathered in mud and cow dung and topped with a thatched roof. Paddy and other grains are stored in them soon after harvesting. But, these silos are slowly vanishing.

Half of the southwest monsoon season is almost over, and several districts in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are still waiting for good rainfall. Paddy and pulses farmers are staring at a wilting crop. They fear a drought year ahead.

Floods, followed by drought, have disrupted the crop cycle in Bangladesh, especially in the northern and coastal southwest regions of the country. Of the total 5.62 million hectares of land under aman paddy cultivation, only 25 per cent has been cultivated this year in the delta country.
