&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;A new study shows how both state and central governments flouted SC orders in drought hit states&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;Thirty three crore people were affected in 10 states by the drought in 2015-16. However, despite Supreme Court orders to provide subsidised food grain and continue mid day meal scheme during summer holidays, the centre and the state governments failed to do so. The court&amp;rsquo;s order had come on May 13, during the Swaraj Abhiyan Vs the Union of India case. In Maharashtra, the government did not continue the mid day meal scheme. In Madhya Pradesh families were denied food grain despite being covered by National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA). Even those who were eligible, found it difficult get food grains as the ration shops opened for less than three days in a month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An Action Aid (international NGO working in the field of poverty and justice) study titled &amp;ldquo;Drought 201-16: Lessons from desolation&amp;rdquo; finds serious flaws in government&amp;rsquo;s response&amp;ndash;both central and states &amp;ndash;towards the water crisis. The study collected data from 279 drought hit villages in seven states. It found that in villages, lack of maintenance had made traditional water bodies like hand-pumps, water well and tanks defunct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact the response of the government was so poor that in Sundergarh district of Odisha, where there was an acute water crisis, the state government provided water tankers to only 5 villages, out of a total of 1792.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Harsh Mander, Director of the Centre for Equity Studies and a Special Commissioner to the Supreme Court of India, in a press conference categorised government drought response over the years into colonial, post Independence and the current neoliberal era. &amp;ldquo;The current response is going back to the colonial times, when the aim was just to keep people alive,&amp;rdquo; he said. &lt;br /&gt;

An Action Aid (international NGO working in the field of poverty and justice) study titled &amp;ldquo;Drought 201-16: Lessons from desolation&amp;rdquo; finds serious flaws in government&amp;rsquo;s response&amp;ndash;both central and states &amp;ndash;towards the water crisis. The study collected data from 279 drought hit villages in seven states. It found that in villages, lack of maintenance had made traditional water bodies like hand-pumps, water well and tanks defunct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact the response of the government was so poor that in Sundergarh district of Odisha, where there was an acute water crisis, the state government provided water tankers to only 5 villages, out of a total of 1792.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Harsh Mander, Director of the Centre for Equity Studies and a Special Commissioner to the Supreme Court of India, in a press conference categorised government drought response over the years into colonial, post Independence and the current neoliberal era. &amp;ldquo;The current response is going back to the colonial times, when the aim was just to keep people alive,&amp;rdquo; he said. &lt;br /&gt;

How government failed drought victims in India -Ishan Kukreti

-Newslaundry.com A new study shows how both state and central governments flouted SC orders in drought hit states Thirty three crore people were affected in 10 states by the drought in 2015-16. However, despite Supreme Court orders to provide subsidised food grain and continue mid day meal scheme during summer holidays, the centre and the state governments failed to do so. The court’s order had come on May 13, during the Swaraj Abhiyan Vs the Union of India case. In Maharashtra, the government did not continue the mid day meal scheme. In Madhya Pradesh families were denied food grain despite being covered by National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA). Even those who were eligible, found it difficult get food grains as the ration shops opened for less than three days in a month. An Action Aid (international NGO working in the field of poverty and justice) study titled “Drought 201-16: Lessons from desolation” finds serious flaws in government’s response–both central and states –towards the water crisis. The study collected data from 279 drought hit villages in seven states. It found that in villages, lack of maintenance had made traditional water bodies like hand-pumps, water well and tanks defunct. In fact the response of the government was so poor that in Sundergarh district of Odisha, where there was an acute water crisis, the state government provided water tankers to only 5 villages, out of a total of 1792. Harsh Mander, Director of the Centre for Equity Studies and a Special Commissioner to the Supreme Court of India, in a press conference categorised government drought response over the years into colonial, post Independence and the current neoliberal era. “The current response is going back to the colonial times, when the aim was just to keep people alive,” he said.
