&lt;em&gt;Of the 136 talukas in Maharashtra, which had demanded that they should be declared &amp;lsquo;drought-hit&amp;rsquo;, only three were &amp;ldquo;eligible&amp;rdquo; to be there in the category, as per 2016 manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Though the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had declared a month ago that as many as 255 districts of the country have witnessed deficit rainfall of 20 to 59 per cent during the South-West monsoon, many of the states are yet to declare a drought. Due to this laxity, farmers in these areas have been suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Southwest monsoon, between June 1, 2018, and September 30, 2018, nine percent deficit in rainfall was recorded as compared to the long period average (LPA) across the country. Southern Peninsula and Northwest India have received 98 percent of the LPA, while the central India received 93 percent of the LPA. However, East and Northeast India have received only 76 percent of the LPA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drought-hit districts account for nearly 35 per cent of all the districts in India. More than 50 per cent of the districts in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Meghalaya, Karnataka, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa have received deficient rainfall, says a report by Down to Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
States including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Bihar, Odisha, Meghalaya, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand have reportedly declared drought, stepping up the mitigation measures. However, Gujarat, Assam and Uttar Pradesh are yet to declare a drought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Gujarat, the Saurashtra and Kutch regions have marked a deficit rainfall of 34 percent. Whereas, the East and South Gujarat recorded the deficit of 24 percent. Assam has received 26 percent deficit rainfall in the 10 districts of the state. Evan as a large chunk of Uttar Pradesh received 40 percent deficit rainfall, the state is yet to be declare drought. Ten districts in West Bengal have also witnessed a deficit in rainfall.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Of the 136 talukas in Maharashtra, which had demanded that they should be declared &amp;lsquo;drought-hit&amp;rsquo;, only three were &amp;ldquo;eligible&amp;rdquo; to be there in the category, as per 2016 manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Though the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had declared a month ago that as many as 255 districts of the country have witnessed deficit rainfall of 20 to 59 per cent during the South-West monsoon, many of the states are yet to declare a drought. Due to this laxity, farmers in these areas have been suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Southwest monsoon, between June 1, 2018, and September 30, 2018, nine percent deficit in rainfall was recorded as compared to the long period average (LPA) across the country. Southern Peninsula and Northwest India have received 98 percent of the LPA, while the central India received 93 percent of the LPA. However, East and Northeast India have received only 76 percent of the LPA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drought-hit districts account for nearly 35 per cent of all the districts in India. More than 50 per cent of the districts in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Meghalaya, Karnataka, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa have received deficient rainfall, says a report by Down to Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
States including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Bihar, Odisha, Meghalaya, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand have reportedly declared drought, stepping up the mitigation measures. However, Gujarat, Assam and Uttar Pradesh are yet to declare a drought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Gujarat, the Saurashtra and Kutch regions have marked a deficit rainfall of 34 percent. Whereas, the East and South Gujarat recorded the deficit of 24 percent. Assam has received 26 percent deficit rainfall in the 10 districts of the state. Evan as a large chunk of Uttar Pradesh received 40 percent deficit rainfall, the state is yet to be declare drought. Ten districts in West Bengal have also witnessed a deficit in rainfall.&lt;br /&gt;

Severe Droughts to Go Unreported? -Shilpa Shaji

-Newsclick.in Of the 136 talukas in Maharashtra, which had demanded that they should be declared ‘drought-hit’, only three were “eligible” to be there in the category, as per 2016 manual. Though the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had declared a month ago that as many as 255 districts of the country have witnessed deficit rainfall of 20 to 59 per cent during the South-West monsoon, many of the states are yet to declare a drought. Due to this laxity, farmers in these areas have been suffering. During the Southwest monsoon, between June 1, 2018, and September 30, 2018, nine percent deficit in rainfall was recorded as compared to the long period average (LPA) across the country. Southern Peninsula and Northwest India have received 98 percent of the LPA, while the central India received 93 percent of the LPA. However, East and Northeast India have received only 76 percent of the LPA. The drought-hit districts account for nearly 35 per cent of all the districts in India. More than 50 per cent of the districts in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Meghalaya, Karnataka, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa have received deficient rainfall, says a report by Down to Earth.
