Pune:
Maharashtra and Karnataka are facing a severe drought this year, according to data from the Union Ministry of Agriculture. Twenty-four out of 30 districts (80 per cent) in Karnataka and 26 out of 36 districts (72 per cent) in Maharashtra are reeling under water scarcity and crop failure.

Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Gujarat and Rajasthan have also reported drought. In all, over 1.95 crore hectares in these six States have been affected and their governments have sought Rs. 16,773 crore in aid from the Centre to tackle the situation.

The severity of the drought is worst in Maharashtra with an area of 85.76 lakh hectares, which is 44 per cent of the total affected area, in the State. This will have a direct impact on over 82 lakhfarmers in Maharashtra. The State government has asked for Rs. 7,522 crore in aid saying that more districts could be added to the list of drought-affected ones.

“During 2018-19, the State governments of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Gujarat and Rajasthan have submitted memorandums in the wake of drought during kharif. Inter-Ministerial Central Teams (IMCTs) have been consisted to visit all these drought-affected States to assess the damage and recommend financial assistance from the National Disaster Response Fund,” said the Minister of Agriculture Radha Mohan Singh in a written reply to a question raised in the Lok Sabha.

The Odisha government also declared drought during kharif 2018, but it has not submitted any memorandum to the Centre.
