-Down to Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While other states had declared drought months ago, Gujarat govt kept calling it a &amp;ldquo;scarcity of water&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While other states like Karnataka, Maharshtra, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh had declared drought at the very offset of the southwest monsoon, and began work on mitigation measures, the Gujarat government remained silent despite receiving deficit rainfall in most of the districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until yesterday, the Gujarat government had been terming the situation in many districts of the state as &amp;ldquo;scarcity of water&amp;rdquo;. It was only on December 17, at a press conference in Gandhinagar, that the state government declared 3,367 villages under 51 taluka of 16 districts as drought affected. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three months after the annual southwest monsoon passed, the Gujarat government has demanded a relief package of Rs 1,725 crore from the Centre for drought-ridden farmers. This comes at a time when the Rabi crop sowing season is already underway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A nine-member central team, comprising officials from various ministries, had visited Morbi, Patan, Surendra Nagar, Kutch, and Banaskantha districts of Gujarat during a three-day tour to assess impact of drought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 67 per cent of the districts in the state recorded deficit rainfall. The Saurashtra and Kutch region received 34 per cent deficit rainfall, while East and South Gujarat recorded a deficit of 24 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers in Patan district have also resorted to protests demanding more water from the Narmada canal to carry out irrigation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While other states like Karnataka, Maharshtra, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh had declared drought at the very offset of the southwest monsoon, and began work on mitigation measures, the Gujarat government remained silent despite receiving deficit rainfall in most of the districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until yesterday, the Gujarat government had been terming the situation in many districts of the state as &amp;ldquo;scarcity of water&amp;rdquo;. It was only on December 17, at a press conference in Gandhinagar, that the state government declared 3,367 villages under 51 taluka of 16 districts as drought affected. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three months after the annual southwest monsoon passed, the Gujarat government has demanded a relief package of Rs 1,725 crore from the Centre for drought-ridden farmers. This comes at a time when the Rabi crop sowing season is already underway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A nine-member central team, comprising officials from various ministries, had visited Morbi, Patan, Surendra Nagar, Kutch, and Banaskantha districts of Gujarat during a three-day tour to assess impact of drought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 67 per cent of the districts in the state recorded deficit rainfall. The Saurashtra and Kutch region received 34 per cent deficit rainfall, while East and South Gujarat recorded a deficit of 24 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers in Patan district have also resorted to protests demanding more water from the Narmada canal to carry out irrigation.&lt;br /&gt;

Gujarat declares drought after months of delay -Jitendra

-Down to Earth While other states had declared drought months ago, Gujarat govt kept calling it a “scarcity of water” While other states like Karnataka, Maharshtra, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh had declared drought at the very offset of the southwest monsoon, and began work on mitigation measures, the Gujarat government remained silent despite receiving deficit rainfall in most of the districts. Until yesterday, the Gujarat government had been terming the situation in many districts of the state as “scarcity of water”. It was only on December 17, at a press conference in Gandhinagar, that the state government declared 3,367 villages under 51 taluka of 16 districts as drought affected. Three months after the annual southwest monsoon passed, the Gujarat government has demanded a relief package of Rs 1,725 crore from the Centre for drought-ridden farmers. This comes at a time when the Rabi crop sowing season is already underway. A nine-member central team, comprising officials from various ministries, had visited Morbi, Patan, Surendra Nagar, Kutch, and Banaskantha districts of Gujarat during a three-day tour to assess impact of drought. About 67 per cent of the districts in the state recorded deficit rainfall. The Saurashtra and Kutch region received 34 per cent deficit rainfall, while East and South Gujarat recorded a deficit of 24 per cent. Farmers in Patan district have also resorted to protests demanding more water from the Narmada canal to carry out irrigation. Please click here to read more.
