भारत की खेती 10,000 साल पुरानी है, लेकिन आज किसान अपने ही खेत में असहाय खड़ा है। कैसे विकास के गलत मॉडल, रसायनिक खेती और नीतिगत खैरात ने किसान को आत्मनिर्भर से आश्रित बना दिया।

बेमौसम बारिश, फसलों को हुए बड़े नुकसान और खरीफ कीमतों में भारी गिरावट ने किसानों की आय को बुरी तरह झटका दिया है। एलारा सिक्योरिटीज की ताज़ा रिपोर्ट बताती है कि कई राज्यों में आय महामारी के बाद के सबसे निचले स्तर पर पहुँच गई है।

India accounts for the highest number of people forced to flee their homes due to climate-related disasters such as floods, cyclones, droughts and the growing water crisis. This summer, as water sources dry up, many more prepare to leave their homes in Uchchadi village of Chitrakoot to become environmental refugees.

Ponds once dotted the rural hinterland and were integral to the daily lives of villagers, who revered and protected them for both religious and drinking purposes. But, with the advent of handpumps and now piped water supply, these water bodies have been encroached upon by buildings, bhavans, playgrounds or putrefying garbage dumps. With changing climates and increased water stress, protecting and reviving the village ponds has become imperative.

लखनऊ से लेकर दिल्ली, भोपाल तक निजी अस्पतालों में बिना ऑक्सीजन के मरीज दम तोड़ रहे हैं। जिन मरीजों का घरों में इलाज चल रहा है, उन्हें ऑक्सीजन मिलने की कोई उम्मीद नहीं दिख रही है। हताश परेशान लोग अपनों की जान बचाने के लिए दर-दर भटक रहे हैं और सोशल मीडिया पर गुहार लगा रहे हैं..

As we rush headlong into the world of artificial intelligence, never have we felt a greater need to go back to basics and revive the ancient wisdom that has stood the test of time. The Bhovi community of traditional well diggers has many lessons to offer, as I learnt one afternoon.

Hilly terrain, hard to extract groundwater and failed schemes make life miserable for the 3,000 odd villagers of Lahuria Deh village in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. Each of them gets just 15 litres of water a day to drink, cook and wash. Women suffer the most. A ground report as part of Gaon Connection's Paani Yatra.

Due to the mismatch between the rising production costs and stagnant prices, the tea industry is facing sustainability challenges which have led to shrunk margins over the past few years. Picture this. In 2013-14, the average selling price of tea was above Rs 150/ kg, against the production cost, which was a little less than Rs 150 per kg. However, in 2018-19, the production cost shot up to Rs 200 per kg, but the selling price remained at Rs 160 per kg
