In the villages of Ambala in Haryana, the floodwaters have receded but the real disaster is unfolding now. There is a blanket of malba on the once green paddy fields. Kharif sowing has to be repeated and seed costs have shot up.

In the second week of July, water from the Yamuna river made inroads in Delhi and submerged areas that had not witnessed flooding for decades. The floods not only disrupted the lives of almost 30 million people but also displaced thousands who lived in slums. Gaon Connection offers you a visual insight from the relief camps where the displaced population continues to struggle.

In the 1990s, growing up in Uttar Pradesh was synonymous with devouring tasty Langda, Dussehri and Chausa mangoes with one's bare hands in the sweltering summer. I still swear by the langda

More than 300 bighas of ready-to-harvest wheat crops are deep waters in Chandauli district as the Warila-Minor canal overflows. Farmers complain that no maintenance work has been carried out on the canal which is cracked and heavily silted in places leading to flooding of their lands and rotting their crops.

After torrential rains last year ruined any prospect of profits for the musk melon cultivators in Satna, Madhya Pradesh, and sunk them in debt, the farmers have doubled the acreage of cultivation hoping their gamble will pay off this year.

Shravan Kumar Devangan is a role model for teachers of government-run schools in India. A school in Mardapoty, Dhamtari, Chhattisgarh, stands out with smart classrooms, a good ambiance, a kitchen garden and flowerbeds with both teachers and students taking care of them. It would be difficult to imagine such a school in a tribal village. But Devangan made it happen

Agro-photovoltaic projects are being offered as a solution to the growing resistance against solar energy projects that require large tracts of land and often lead to conflicts with the local communities. These projects allow traditional livelihoods, such as grazing, and generation of electricity, to co-exist on the same piece of land.
