The sheer mention of Maharashtra’s Marathwada region brings forth memories of droughts, crop losses, and farmers’ suicides. The delay in monsoon rainfall this year has kept the farmers on tenterhooks who have sown their kharif crops and now a lack of rainfall is leading to sowing failure. Any further delay in the rains may be a death knell for their kharif crops. A ground report.

Many farmers in the region have locked their homes and are gone. Parched crops and dry hand pumps greet visitors. There is no water; none to drink, none for irrigation. Maharashtra's Marathwada region, heartland of farmer deaths, is going through a devastating summer

Like our childhood, basant seems to belong to a bygone era. Now in just a couple of days the mercury jumps many degrees and the harsh Indian summer is upon us. From rajai and no-fan nights, we go straight into air conditioned rooms. And, more worryingly, the rising heat and disappearing spring is a direct threat to our granaries.
