Jhansi:
Almost a month after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes, the socio-economic fabric of Bundelkhand – one of the poorest regions in central India comprising parts of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh – is slowly crumbling. The shortage of cash in banks, a parallel black economy, an illegal cash-barter system and deepening feudal repression have intensified the woes of this largely agricultural belt, which is already reeling under the impact of three consecutive droughts and then a flood this past monsoon.

The farmers had barely recovered from the devastating impact of climate change in Bundelkhand and ever-mounting cycles of debt, and now the government’s demonetisation move has come as a bolt from the blue for them. Not just farmers, but everyone associated with agricultural trading stands to lose out on a large portion of their incomes. The seasonal nature of agriculture and allied businesses means that the impact of the losses incurred over the next few months will have ripple effects on farms’ incomes throughout the next year.
