Due to insufficient rainfall, 80 subdivisions across 13 districts in Rajasthan have been declared drought-affected. This comes as crops suffer damage and groundwater levels decline.
Rajasthan is facing a severe drought situation due to the monsoon's failure to deliver adequate rainfall. The state government has officially declared 80 subdivisions across 13 districts as severely and moderately drought-affected. This declaration comes in response to widespread crop damage, a significant drop in groundwater levels, and an acute shortage of water resources. The situation is raising concerns about the well-being of farmers and the overall agricultural sector in the state.
