&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;Even as the state reels under a shortage of pulses, estimates for the drought-hit kharif season which just ended show that the crisis could worsen. They show a steep 52% drop in the production of kharif pulses and a 30% fall in the production of kharif cereals for 2015-16 compared to a normal year. The overall production of kharif foodgrains is set to decline by an estimated 34%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toor dal production is set to fall by 42% and moong dal by a steep 71% compared to the normal kharif yield in the state, the estimates show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The production of Urad dal is set to decline by as much as 74%. The coarse cereals are also set to take a major hit with jowar production set to decline by 73% and bajra by 71% compared to a normal year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The estimates are part of the memorandum submitted by the Maharashtra government in November to seek central government assistance for the drought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the second consecutive year of drought in the state. The drought covers 34% of the villages, with Marathwada and north Maharashtra being the worst hit. In the months between June and September, the state received just 59% of the normal rainfall. Also, the rains were erratic with an initial burst of heavy rain followed by a long dry spell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra produces almost 10% of the foodgrains in the country. The kharif crop sown during the monsoon is the state&#039;s main crop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cash crops have also been impacted, the estimates show. The production of kharif oilseeds is set to fall by 42% compared to a normal year. The sugarcane yield is set to fall by 13% and cotton production by 23%, the estimates show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Maharashtra government has asked the Centre for aid worth Rs 4,332 crore for kharif villages hit by the drought in 2015. So far, Rs 920 crore has been provided for drought relief in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farm activists like Vijay Jawandhia say the fall in the state&#039;s agricultural yield may end up being even worse lower than these initial estimates. &amp;quot;The state government needs to go beyond rescheduling crop loans. Besides a loan waiver, a village-level crop insurance scheme is vital,&amp;quot; he says. &lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;Even as the state reels under a shortage of pulses, estimates for the drought-hit kharif season which just ended show that the crisis could worsen. They show a steep 52% drop in the production of kharif pulses and a 30% fall in the production of kharif cereals for 2015-16 compared to a normal year. The overall production of kharif foodgrains is set to decline by an estimated 34%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toor dal production is set to fall by 42% and moong dal by a steep 71% compared to the normal kharif yield in the state, the estimates show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The production of Urad dal is set to decline by as much as 74%. The coarse cereals are also set to take a major hit with jowar production set to decline by 73% and bajra by 71% compared to a normal year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The estimates are part of the memorandum submitted by the Maharashtra government in November to seek central government assistance for the drought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the second consecutive year of drought in the state. The drought covers 34% of the villages, with Marathwada and north Maharashtra being the worst hit. In the months between June and September, the state received just 59% of the normal rainfall. Also, the rains were erratic with an initial burst of heavy rain followed by a long dry spell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maharashtra produces almost 10% of the foodgrains in the country. The kharif crop sown during the monsoon is the state&#039;s main crop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cash crops have also been impacted, the estimates show. The production of kharif oilseeds is set to fall by 42% compared to a normal year. The sugarcane yield is set to fall by 13% and cotton production by 23%, the estimates show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Maharashtra government has asked the Centre for aid worth Rs 4,332 crore for kharif villages hit by the drought in 2015. So far, Rs 920 crore has been provided for drought relief in the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farm activists like Vijay Jawandhia say the fall in the state&#039;s agricultural yield may end up being even worse lower than these initial estimates. &amp;quot;The state government needs to go beyond rescheduling crop loans. Besides a loan waiver, a village-level crop insurance scheme is vital,&amp;quot; he says. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;Even as the state reels under a shortage of pulses, estimates for the drought-hit kharif season which just ended show that the crisis could worsen. They show a steep 52% drop in the production of kharif pulses and a 30% fall in the production of kharif cereals for 2015-16 compared to a normal year. The overall production of kharif foodgrains is set to decline by an estimated 34%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toor dal production is set to fall by 42% and moong dal by a steep 71% compared to the normal kharif yield in the state, the estimates show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The production of Urad dal is set to decline by as much as 74%. The coarse cereals are also set to take a major hit with jowar production set to decline by 73% and bajra by 71% compared to a normal year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The estimates are part of the memorandum submitted by the Maharashtra government in November to seek central government assistance for the drought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the second consecutive year of drought in the state. The drought covers 34% of the villages, with Marathwada and north Maharashtra being the worst hit. In the months between June and September, the state received just 59% of the normal rainfall. Also, the rains were erratic with an initial burst of heavy rain followed by a long dry spell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra produces almost 10% of the foodgrains in the country. The kharif crop sown during the monsoon is the state&#039;s main crop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cash crops have also been impacted, the estimates show. The production of kharif oilseeds is set to fall by 42% compared to a normal year. The sugarcane yield is set to fall by 13% and cotton production by 23%, the estimates show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Maharashtra government has asked the Centre for aid worth Rs 4,332 crore for kharif villages hit by the drought in 2015. So far, Rs 920 crore has been provided for drought relief in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farm activists like Vijay Jawandhia say the fall in the state&#039;s agricultural yield may end up being even worse lower than these initial estimates. &amp;quot;The state government needs to go beyond rescheduling crop loans. Besides a loan waiver, a village-level crop insurance scheme is vital,&amp;quot; he says. &lt;br /&gt;

<em>MUMBAI: </em>Even as the state reels under a shortage of pulses, estimates for the drought-hit kharif season which just ended show that the crisis could worsen. They show a steep 52% drop in the production of kharif pulses and a 30% fall in the production of kharif cereals for 2015-16 compared to a normal year. The overall production of kharif foodgrains is set to decline by an estimated 34%.<br />
<br />
Toor dal production is set to fall by 42% and moong dal by a steep 71% compared to the normal kharif yield in the state, the estimates show.<br />
<br />
The production of Urad dal is set to decline by as much as 74%. The coarse cereals are also set to take a major hit with jowar production set to decline by 73% and bajra by 71% compared to a normal year.<br />
<br />
The estimates are part of the memorandum submitted by the Maharashtra government in November to seek central government assistance for the drought.<br />
<br />
This is the second consecutive year of drought in the state. The drought covers 34% of the villages, with Marathwada and north Maharashtra being the worst hit. In the months between June and September, the state received just 59% of the normal rainfall. Also, the rains were erratic with an initial burst of heavy rain followed by a long dry spell.<br />
<br />
Maharashtra produces almost 10% of the foodgrains in the country. The kharif crop sown during the monsoon is the state's main crop.<br />
<br />
Cash crops have also been impacted, the estimates show. The production of kharif oilseeds is set to fall by 42% compared to a normal year. The sugarcane yield is set to fall by 13% and cotton production by 23%, the estimates show.<br />
<br />
The Maharashtra government has asked the Centre for aid worth Rs 4,332 crore for kharif villages hit by the drought in 2015. So far, Rs 920 crore has been provided for drought relief in the state.<br />
<br />
Farm activists like Vijay Jawandhia say the fall in the state's agricultural yield may end up being even worse lower than these initial estimates. &quot;The state government needs to go beyond rescheduling crop loans. Besides a loan waiver, a village-level crop insurance scheme is vital,&quot; he says. <br />

Drought-hit Maharashtra's pulses output halved -Priyanka Kakodkar
