&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Patiala: &lt;/em&gt;The proposed reduction in the area to be covered under traditional water-guzzling paddy in Punjab this year due to labour shortage is likely to give some respite to already depleting groundwater table in the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As per the target set by the state agriculture department, the department is expecting to reduce the area under paddy cultivation by at least 3 lakh hectares -- from 29.3 lakh hectares last year to 26.3 lakh hectares this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Of the total area under paddy cultivation, 4 lakh hectare (20% more than last year) is expected to be sown with lesser water consuming direct seeding of rice (DSR) technique this year, while 7 lakh hectare is likely to be covered under basmati varieties with the onset of monsoon. Last year, 6.5 hectare area was under basmati.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the 2019 report of the Central Ground Water Board, Punjab tops the country in over-exploitation of groundwater at 79%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Patiala: &lt;/em&gt;The proposed reduction in the area to be covered under traditional water-guzzling paddy in Punjab this year due to labour shortage is likely to give some respite to already depleting groundwater table in the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As per the target set by the state agriculture department, the department is expecting to reduce the area under paddy cultivation by at least 3 lakh hectares -- from 29.3 lakh hectares last year to 26.3 lakh hectares this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Of the total area under paddy cultivation, 4 lakh hectare (20% more than last year) is expected to be sown with lesser water consuming direct seeding of rice (DSR) technique this year, while 7 lakh hectare is likely to be covered under basmati varieties with the onset of monsoon.
