The Ghaghra which is the largest tributary of the Ganga river causes devastating floods in the terai regions of Uttar Pradesh. Not only are the farmlands inundated, but the floods also result in loss of habitation for thousands of rural residents. The worst affected are those who live on the lands between the river and the embankment. Gaon Connection takes stock of their struggle.

हर साल घाघरा नदी की बाढ़ बाराबंकी के गांवों को पानी में बहा ले जाती है। फसल बर्बाद हो जाती और लाखों ग्रामीणों को अपने गाँवों को छोड़ अस्थायी झोपड़ियों और तिरपाल में आसरा लेना पड़ता है। उनमें से कितने तो ऐसे हैं जो बार-बार आने वाली इस बाढ़ की वजह से गरीबी की दलदल में फंसते चले जा रहे हैं। इससे वो कभी बाहर आ पाएंगे इसकी उम्मीद उन्हें कम ही है। इस साल उत्तर प्रदेश में हो रहे चुनावों को लेकर इन लोगों की क्या प्रतिक्रिया है? क्या कहता है गाँव सीरीज की ग्राउंड रिपोर्ट।

Around 73% of Bihar’s total geographical area is prone to floods as plains of the state, which are close to Nepal, are drained by a number of rivers that have their catchments in the Himalayas of Nepal. These rivers and their tributaries carry high levels of discharge and sediment load, which are deposited on the plains of Bihar thus causing floods

Papaya cultivation in Barabanki and Sitapur districts of Uttar Pradesh takes a hit as the ringspot virus affects the crop. The yield has been only one fourth of what it should be, complain the farmers. They blame changing climate for such large scale losses.

In 2015, when Puran Lal Chaudhary was posted as a teacher at Barua Behad village in Bahraich district, Uttar Pradesh, barely 12 students came to the school. No teacher wanted to stay in the village that had no electricity and was pretty backward in basic amenities. Chaudhary stayed on and transformed the school. The educator who won the state teachers’ award shares his journey.
