Uttar Pradesh, one of the leading rice producing states in India, is reeling, as more than half the monsoon season is over and the state has a rainfall deficit of 40 %, which has had a direct impact on paddy sowing. Other paddy growing states in the Indo-Gangetic plains have also reported deficient rainfall. How will this affect paddy production and food welfare schemes? Will there be a ripple effect on the global food supply, as India is the world's largest rice exporter? Gaon Connection tries to find answers in its new series, Paddy Pain.

India is the biggest exporter of rice in the world commanding a share of almost 40 per cent. However, deficient rainfall in the paddy growing states in the Indo-Gangetic Plains has raised an alarm with fears of the Union government restricting rice exports. Four months ago, the Indian government had prohibited wheat exports.

Following the sighting of the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard in 1981, Karera Wildlife Sanctuary was notified in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district as a conservation effort. At least 32 villages fall within the boundaries of the sanctuary and want to be excluded from it. They have warned of a massive protest from April 15. But, why do they want the denotification? A ground report.

For farmers who have sown wheat across India’s northern plains, this year’s unusually high temperatures in February are a haunting reminder of last year’s damage to their crops. Similar heat waves last year had compromised India’s wheat production by 2.75 million tonnes or 2.5 per cent of the total output during 2020-21.

Climate experts link the heat wave in India to climate change. They stress on the need for public cooling areas, uninterrupted electricity and access to safe drinking water, especially for the vulnerable groups during the extreme heat days. Details here.

The analysis of IMD's heatwave data from March 11 till April 24 this year shows that Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh have suffered the most due to the early heatwaves in 2022. Heatwaves have also led to a decline in agricultural yields.
