Monsoon 2022: Why a drought wasn’t declared in 4 states with drought-like conditions -Raju Sajwan

-Down to Earth

A report shows drought-like situation in over 700 blocks of 91 districts of Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar & West Bengal

A severe deficit in the rainfall during monsoon 2022 has affected Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar. However, state governments have shied away from declaring a drought in the states even though Kharif-sowing was badly hit.

Uttar Pradesh government directed a drought survey in all its districts September 8, 2022. The collection for tubewell bills for the three months of Kharif season, which started in June, has been put on hold. 

Over 300 blocks in Uttar Pradesh are affected by drought, while 382 blocks are drought-prone, according to Mahalanobis National Crop Forecast Centre (MNCFC), a central government agency. Over 700 blocks of 91 districts in the four states have been affected, a report said.
